I had a 1982 Camaro Z28 with a 3 speed auto (Last year for this tran) and a carbed 350 out of a vett (So I was told). Man I thought that car was the fastest thing in the world when I had it. The speedo went to a whole 85 mph and the T-tops sounded like they were going to fly out at that speed.

Man the Cobra could pimp slapped that car so bad it wouldnt have know what year it was. lol

It was murdered during an engine swap to a TPI 350. The engine was in and I had a new chip ordered to bypass the vats system. One day before the chip arrived a guy driving full size dodge truck fell asleep and drove into the parking lot a WOT hitting the car in the drivers side door. The drivers seat was 5 niches wide after that. BTW we put the chip in and fired the car up after this. I was so close!!

1988 Beretta GT 2.8 5-speed. I bought it in 1990 with 80k on it for $3400. It wasn't my first car but the first one I paid for myself. I traded it in in 1992 with 160k on it for a brand new 5.0 LX. The 92 was the first car that I ever owned that was not a stick. I thought I would like not having to shift but it lasted about 6 months and I traded it in on the 93 LX that I still own to this day.
