Scraping is a problem. My car sits too low to get under it and now with the exhaust c/o I'm scraping all the time, but it's worth it. I don't know about all GM's but my dad bought a company car in '95, it was a 95 Bonneville. He was driving about 250-300 miles a day and after 260,000 miles, I blew the head gasket. Of course it happened while I was driving the car.

We bought my car for a toy for me since I was tired of the family sedan. We bought it for 5700 with 95k on it. It came loaded with all options short of WS6 b/c it wasn't available at the time I don't think. So far the only problems have been interior crap and those damn headlight gears scraping for about 5 secs then it goes away. My car will still bark the tires 1-3 with now over 100k. If all else fails with it, I'll go back to the family sedan <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">

Oh yea, tires are a big problem. My back ones are always bald....and I put in a new radiator.<edited><editID>95LT1</editID><editDate>37927.6926851852</editDate></edited>

Well the only thing that's went wrong so far is the radiator, that was after the 100k mark. The interior problem was a passenger side window motor and then the driver side headlight is messed up. It still goes up and down and functions is just grinds for about 5 secs, very common in f-bodies. Nothing major so far, knock on wood. My Maxima had the tranny replaced after 40k, under warranty of course, but still, its foreign, wtf? I can only say good things about the TA so far though. I've driven several pre 4.6liter mustangs, and none compare so far. Cept for the one with the 347 and 100 shot <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

Don't get an LT1. Just don't. with the mods you put onto an LT1 you can get it up to the same hp/tq rating the LS1 came with from the factory.</P>

LS1 price&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;LT1 price. im like 15...not only is an LS1 wayyyyy too expensive, but i would die within a week of owning one. </P>


and i bet it would be hard enough toafford insurance for an LT1, let alone an ls1...if i even could get insured...</P><edited><editID>Jugador</editID><editDate>37927.7382060185</editDate></edited>
