well the old 305 in the 88 camaro that was TBI, then TPI and is now carb'd is just freakin pathetic lol... i have minimal cash to spend since im saving for another toy, however i like to drive the 3rd gen, but its truely embarasing. the valve seals are SHOT, making huge clouds of smoke in the parking lot at work isnt so fun! the timing chain is clanking away and its got a great tickticktick on exceleration, not to mention its slow as balls and has a WELL BEATEN 90k miles on it! i dont need anything killer, just for cruising around with...
