    It has no mods whatsoever. I bought it with 120,000 from a dealer so I have no idea what the past owners were like to it. If I remember correctly the transmission guy I took it to said something about a seal went bad and let air in or something. THe fluid level was overful somehow and full of bubbles. I couldn't wrap my head around what exactly happened to it. lol

    Is there any other platform that is under 6000 dollars that has decent performance on an automatic transmission? Faster than/equal to ours? Or is this the only auto trannied car that doesnt get **** mpg and is fast?

    I think a 90s v8 paired with a four speed auto is probably among the worst mpg you can get in a car. Not to mention I need to be 21 before I can even insure them according to my company.
