Don't worry if he changes the exhaust and air induction system so the 4 cyl can breath easier chances are it won't hook,I have a pic of my car launching at the starting line and the rear end squat is tremendous so it is very easy to unload the front end and get squirrelly, go into severe tire shake or completly boil the tires. When that happens 5500 comes in a hurry in first and you just bang second and it usually straightens out and hooks,but engine mounts can't take it,I broke the R/S mount 3 times.
I also had to replace the front tires at 12,000 miles.

Jan, if they had the same power output potential, that may sound wrong.. If they could reach power outputs as easy as a non VNT then I would agree 100%, right its a percent rating of, hmm i dunno

I have looked under it many times. Car runs very quite. I just chose not to because the owner wasn't around(or at least didn't answer his door).

Honestly I would not "Eff" with it much if it is “unmolested”. They only built 132 of these cars, which is quite low. I did some research on these cars and if we compare it to what is considered a “Rare car” say a 70 Cuda’ Convert (not Barracudas) they built 635. If you base it on percentage of production, the GTC VNT is .22% of total production of Lebarons in 1990, Cuda’s Converts were 1.14% of total production in 1970. My 2 cents!!!

Noted. There is nothing we would do to it that we wouldn't be able to reverse

deffinitly suck when your going to pass someone and you get half way pass them and the car boggs down. On the other hand i love the kick my csx-t had off the line! I beat a grand prix gt super charged.
