I have a 98 Camaro

Obviously with a 3800 in it. Let's talk about this shall we?

I only mild experience in cars so I'm not an idiot, you don't have to explain things to me like what an alternator is.

It has since been cleaned up. It has quite a few miles on it but it runs great now that I've done some minor repairs.

170,000 miles actually.

Also I paid less than 600 dollars altogether for this car. Sooooo worth it.

Looks like it was a good deal to me, what kind of transmission you have in there?

Where are you located in Ohio?

Notice the church in the background. I believe somewhere on the 6th day there was something to the effect that the Lord created the 3800, AND THUS HE SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. Looks like he even melted away the snow for you to see, buy, and give it some love.

You're correct. It's automatic, but for the price I can't bitch. What kind of exhaust system would you suggest?

Yes, the dealers are great to work for when you want a car. That's how I obtained mine. Some early twenties-gal traded it in to get that brand new Lexus appeal. She had every reciept from the GM dealer for her service, original window stickers, remote start, Baby-dolled obviously. The N.A.D.A and blue book prices have still not dropped to what I paid for it a few years back.
