Its a 5spd and is faster than my lx vert im sure of that! I have a pretty hefty reg fees but i guess thats wat i get for buying a slavage car. I heard if i ffiled my reg with a statement of facts it would lower costs?

oh i guarantee its faster than the vert

my '90 vert was about 3450 with nobody in it (aod car) 3600 on the street
my current girly car is 3150 WITH ME in it

my '89 notch went 13.60's with 100% stock motor. just 4.10's mickeys. after exhaust and little boltons it went 13.20 on motor and 12.50's on a 75 shot

hows the notch geared ? you know how to read the door tag if its stock ?? "ax" code

m=2.73
z=3.08
the e code is aod only and 3.27

the weight savings i stated mind you.... thats fiberglass hood, convo pros, aluminum heads, smog delete. but it lightens up real quick. prob 200 lbs right from the git, then keep counting

its possible....depending how correct the speedo is. the places that sell speedo gears HAVE NO CLUE whats correct. they will sell you a driven gear based on the ring and pinion you have....never take account what year trans you have, and whether its a 7t or 8t drive gear

i have 4.10's, and fully corrected at 3k im doing closer to 80

I bought my speed gear from an ebay shop and they did mention the different drive gears and ratios for each appropriate model
