Holy Crap I am BACK!!!!

Going to get me a 1997 WS6 Black on Black T/A tomorrow!!!!!! It has been 6 years since I sold my '89 and I have missed it since. T-Tops, 6 spd, Monsoon Sound etc etc.... Not much sleep tonight. Quick question...... What gearing is in the T/A. I had 3.42s in my '89.

Thanks and great to be back.

Will update sig soon

Re: Holy Crap I am BACK!!!!

Re: Holy Crap I am BACK!!!!

what ryan said lol

opti update doesnt mean its fool proof
water leaks from water pump
oil leaks
Watch the temp in traffic the fans should pull it back down but they do tend to run kinda warm when there sitting or moving slow

Look out for intake manifold leaks as well,especially the back of them.

Except in 1993.

M28 = 2.73
M29 = 3.23

Look at the RPO in the glove box. For all we know the car could be a M6 swapped auto. Then again it could also have aftermarket gears for all we know.

GU2 = 2.73
GU5 = 3.23
GU6 = 3.42

Re: Holy Crap I am BACK!!!!

update: Looked at the WS6 and it was in poor condition. Luckily he had a 2000 Camaro Z28 6spd T-Top on the lot. Love driving this thing!!!!!

Thanks for the input
