I had a 94 impala ss (LT1)and it was a pain. There was always little things wrong with it and the plugs were like an all day job......... my girlfriend would always make funny of it and would tell me that it would never be as quick as the mustang with serious money and work. I eventually sold it.

My '79 Z28 was a pita to change the rear plugs in, for sure, much less try to tighten the rear header bolts! But it had more room than the more recent z's

On the old stuff it's OK, but the modern cars are plain junk.

Just wait 'til you get a BMW M3 with the V8 that needs a new starter (it lives in the back of the "vee" under the intake manifold). Yikes.

in the trunk of a GM, they should put a spare, tire iron and shoe horn so you can work on them.
