Car Makes - September 2007

I recently took up a project helping to restore a 1969 Camaro. The car will actually be participating in a racing circuit, but not some silly drag strip: real racing, with real tight corners and both left and right turns. I know, *gasp*, more than one turn.

Enough with the jokes though. Anyone know of a good place to find parts for this car that would give it a suspension setup worthy of real track car? We've already aquired a LS2 small block that will be mated with a STS Turbo system and a six speed automatic transmission. No retro engine or tranny here, we need fuel economy and oodles of power.

We don't want to put this car to the track and only be able to take the sparse and short straight-aways. I was thinking that maybe we could use the 2007 Corvette Z06 suspension, but how would that work? Are there any shops you all could recommend?

I am wanting to install some flowmasters to my truck and I just want to know if I ever pop in a v-8 will my exhaust still work with it? I have a v-6 right now but will be going up one of these days. I will be getting one pipe done then adding in dual once the money comes around. Will this work? For now I will have one flowmaster put in. Then I will get dual. Then I will try to get a v-8, will the dual flowmasters fit that?

I am aware that Pontiac discontinued the Grand Am, those @ssholes, but is the Pontiac G6 supposed to be the new version of the Grand Am because it kinda looks like a Grand Am.

I have a 92 Chrysler New Yorker Salon 3.3 liter V.6 with about 200,000 miles on it. Believe it or not it runs great (rebuilt engine) except for the fact that for about a yr and a half it been giving me transmission problems (of course). I got a transmission tune up about a yr ago and it made it a whole lot better but about a week ago I've been noticing the decline in performance again. My question is what am I looking at in the average cost on how much it would cost for me to have this done to my car being the make/model/year. All answers will be appreciated. Thanks!

Why do people who Just happen to not like the vehicle you are trying to get fix, have to stick there opinion in about what you drive. "Well what do you expect from a piece of junk". Or go get a real car or truck. Or " It's a piece of crap".
I have driven a varriety of cars and trucks for over 50 years.Studabakers, General moters, Ford products, Chryslers, and had something to like in all of them. Today ALL auto makers are very competive and I wouldn't put one above the other. I have worked for Ford, Chevrolet, and retired from Chrysler/Dodge after 24 years, So naturaly I know more about Chrysler products than the others. But I would NOT say Chrysler is better OR the others are junk! SO all you nay sayers out there. If you don't like the vehicles these people are asking for help on, why don't you go to the catagory of vehicles you DO like and give THEM you're opinion? And stay there!

i need speed in a car. my dad has a nissan xterra that i could buy from him and its fairly quick for an suv but most of its acceleration happens at the higher RPMs in that car. so i figure if i could bring power to the lower rpms by putting in a super charger it could go from a 7.5 second car 0-60 to about a 6 plus some other upgrades that i may put on it.

my other option is just getting a used mustang GT or 350Z but i would be paying more since i could buy my dads xterra for cheap. probably less than 15 grand.

I have a 2004 Subaru Outback and I'm trying to decide what tires to get. The Bridgestones are stock, but Consumer Reports gave the Goodyears their highest rating. However, the test was from November 2005. The Bridgestones that are on there now are fairly loud on the highway, so I don't want a tire that's going to be any louder. Also, I live in Colorado so I do a fair amount of snow/ice driving in the winter; though not enough to warrant studded tires for the winter. Any opinions would be much appreciated, or suggestions for different tires.
Thanks!
