![]() Power trunk pulldown keeps things nice and tight, but I had to replace mine recently.Ĭonsidering its age very little has needed to be repaired with this car. Trunk space is also marginal, but functions for light trips. T-Tops leak due to age, but were easily remedied with some hardware store materials ($10.00 to fix), and are great in the summer to remove and enjoy the sun. All controls are on the center console and are easily reached without taking your eyes off the road. Doors are extremely heavy, and hard to open/close, but are simplistic with no maintenance needed ever. No room for rear seats, but rear seats fold to make useful shelving for storage. Storage compartments are lacking, but it’s not a car for hauling your junk. Even at 20 years old, leather is still healthy and looks great. Real camel leather seats with power adjusting lumbar, contour features. The problem was resolved with above fixes. Before replacing the steering pump and tires, the car would follow lines in the road or try to turn itself (very scary at higher speeds). Very little noticeable body roll, even in intense steering maneuvers. The car with its WS6 performance package hugs the corners and rips through bends. I’d hate to see drum brake versions of this car. The car feels too heavy for the brakes to stop effectively. First gear seems all too short, second and third seem to last forever, and fourth is an enigma unless driving 80+mph with overdrive ON.Įmergency stopping power even with four wheel discs is lacking (for me at least). Transmission could be revamped with a different ratio of gears. Would only recommend 92+ unleaded to compensate for the older engine. Fuel economy on 93 Sunoco Ultra is still lacking, but V8’s are not fuel efficient. Enough power to spin the wheels if not left in check. 140mph top speed, 0-60 in around 6-8 seconds (stock everything). Four wheel disc can bring you to a stop real quick. Trunk space is lacking for every day convenience usage, but still fits what is needed when it's needed.Ĭar handles very well, easily handles turns and bends with no body roll whatsoever. Not so much room in the back seat, but it's not a 4 seater kind of vehicle. Seats are camel leather, very luxurious, interior after 20 years still smells new. I've got the GTA (top of the line, aside from the turbo model) back in the day with WS6 performance package for better suspension, handling, drive-ability, etc. With 3,000 in mods, you can make this car a 500+ HP racer. Every day I learn something new about my car that makes me smile. Overall for 20+ years old, it's been surprisingly cheap and low maintenance. Steering control pump, various old rubber hoses in engine bay. Distributor, new speaker system, all ignition/ spark plug wires.
