It’s the truth, I was using alot of crank in those days, I couldn’t help it. I am back on it now.

I remember working at a Chevy dealer in 1991 detailing cars and one of the salesmen was trying to sell this elder couple a new 1991 Caprice. As they were walking out to look at it they walked by a new Corsica and the elder man asked, “what is this car”? The salesman replied, ” It’s just a Corsica. You wouldn’t like it.” I busted up laughing and as soon as they were gone I punched a fat ding in the right front fender for fun since it was “just” a Corsica. Later that day I purposely made 4 dings on a new yellow Geo Storm. I’ll have to punch a 1991 Corsica again pretty soon, if only there are any still running. I might punch a 4 door base trim Cobalt instead. Not much of a Chevy fan man.

Probably a variant of the 60 degree 3.4 V6′s, like my Firebird’s L32 V6. There was a rare factory turbo version, but I guess this one’s aftermarket powered. 3.4′s can be very potent in a lighter car, if they’re setup right.

That is my kind of project. I would love to run that Corsica in my EXP in the battle of the WTFs. Very cool and keep up the good work.
