Hmmmm.........Good to customize and make a hot rod of it. Drop in a 3800 Buick V-6 with a turbo and make a miniature Grand National. Tiene mucho dinero?

I really want a SS bad but not so bad I make a stupid decision. This is a salvaged title I believe because none of the repairs have been made. Needs a bumper, hood, condenser and radiator support is bent. Didn't realize all that would total that car but I guess so. How does this sound? He said he still drives it an it's still insured.
Thanks for any answers

Went and test drove again and checked it all out. No lights on dash, carfax was clean after salvage title and repair, services and had inspection at dealer a year ago and passed. It had a loud ass tick under the hood but after further investigation I see these cars have direct fuel injection which is nice and loud. Also, these things have a few special weird notices anda couple specials whines I love. I bought it for $2400 and I can wait to fix the front end and start driving it as my daily. Didn't think I wanted an auto but I love the way it pulls and that turbo sounds so bad ass. Thank y'all for any help... Anyone have suggestions about what to do next?

Trifecta tune can add 40HP. Contact CJ Krause on this forum.

If you really want to blow some minds....see post #10


Folks don't expect a regular looking HHR to blow off mustang GT's but your's would.......you have to buy front parts anyway......

Not too sure the 5spd guys can say that without a bigger turbo, the auto will grow on you.

I keep hearing about that. Is that similar to a black bear tune for a truck where they send a new computer in exchange for the old one? ECU?

I thought about it but I like the look of the SS way too much. I will probably get rid of my LS soon and use that to pay for damages.
The boost tack on the pillar, should it move only when accelerating? I've never had anything cammed, turboed, or super charged so I'm totally new to the game.
