I knew all this waiting and working two jobs, and saving up would pay off and it did, boy did it pay off. I got the 5.7L 350 GTA, man this monster is mean, i love the sound the paint, the exhaust and this is a torque monster ( i know some off you have a LS1 or faster ones, but idc i love mine soo much just so much fun) i definatly happier with this than the other one and the scary thing it could be faster than this. I love being given an excuse to start it up, or i just do it cause i can. The torque is great i love tapping the gas and sending my head flying back into the headrest ( on my way home i did something im proud off but wont do often a SS Colbolt rolled up on me a turbo at 55 mph he nailed it i dropped it into D and had him buy two lenghts by 75mph, i couldnt do that with my 3K, but i need to becareful though will this certainly is a monster i know there are faster out ther while this car is stock. The car only had 90,475 miles on it and i got it for 2,000 dollars, the engine is perfect except for them miss but one of the wires looked really bad, and he put bosh plugs in, so i need a tune up but this car still hauls ass. I dont like running it to hard cause its a GTA and there becoming rare by the day. But the car ran like shit for my first spin the bastard hated to do anything above 40mph but the more we drove it the better it got (except for the miss) but i can deal with that for now. But my grandaftherr ( who help me put engines in my other car came with me and he loved it besides the paint) he even did the dollar test to check the valves, lol. And since its an Automatic i really dont miss driving a stick that much. But i have plans for it keep it STOCK, except performance wise no 20" rims ugly body kits, i never knew how great these 5.7 could be ,i mean o man i just love this car and cant see me parting with it and know that i make 500+ a week i can really get her back up to speed. The guy who sold it to me and he loved the car also so i feel obligated to make him happy, he want me to send him pics of it. he hooked if a switch to turn the engine fan on, when should i turn it on when driving? But man i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this car third gens rule boy i have a GTA, i cant believe this i went from having a car that suck balls to a car that actually has a pair ( but i need a name mabey a girls name i dont like rubbing a guy like i rub this car, so mabey it shouldnt have balls?)

Congrats! I have a 92 Formula 350, with the same 350 TPI that's in your car. It is truly a torque monster. Great street manners but it can easily light up the tires if you're not careful
