1998 Pontiac Sunfire GTAbout This Vehicle:
In just the short time I've had this car, I've already grown to love it. My old car (2001 Eclipse Spyder GT), while a great car, didn't respond to mods for crap (actually a pretty well known fact...only forced induction would get you any real gains and then they could still be quite bitchy to work with). It was amazing to me to feel the difference in response in this car just from a cheap intake - even if it was only a single digit HP increase, it seems much more noticeable on this car than the last one. Can't wait to get more into modding it, once I'm more financially able. After all...a Sunfire, who would ever see it coming? Body Style: Coupe
