What kind of person lowers a station wagon????

[adamsredlines]

Well I have over 1k miles on the new setup and I've not rubbed or bottomed out once yet. Its even settled some, so its a tad lower now than the pic shows.That pic was taken with only about 8 miles on the new springs.

You're lucky Adam you come here to NY in that & you'll rip out half the undercarriage on our roads.......

Arkansas was kinda rough but that's just arkansas. Still, only having 3 inches of clearance is scary. Idunno how I am going to do oil changes now lol

I was wondering about that! And living in the great white north, just a dusting of snow would get you hung up with no room to get a shovelunderneath! I've always been a 'wagon fan. Nice to see afew others like them too.

I've always been a big fan of wagons from the mid 60's to the mid 90's (back when you could still haul a sheet of plywood laying flat inside.)I've got a medium size 1991 fwd cutlass cruiser- It's nice, but I wish it were rwd and longer (so it could haul a sheet of plywood). But on the plusside, it has the "big motor"- a 3.3 Litre with tuned up fuel system (new coil packs and tuned injectors) It hauls @ss when you want it to and it gets27 mpg on the highway!

I drove it in some snow up north. Nothiing deep, but snow. It sits@a tad lower than my uncles Corvette which is kinda funny. More importantly, I can still getit up onto my oil change ramps. I was kinda sweating that but it does clear, so I am happy. Still hasn't rubbed or bottomed out yer (knock on wood).

I can put a twin size mattress in mine haha. 5.7l hemi, moves pretty good. Stock allows 127mph...remove that setting and it can hit 160 with all stockcomponents.

Adam, I'm pretty sure mine can hold a twin mattress. With the rear seats down, the bed of the wagon is roughly 6 ft. long and about 4.5 feet wide. My 3.3litre puts up a fight against the 270 hp GM 3800 series 3.8 and can stomp the 200hp 24 valve DOHC Ford engine. I'm not sure about the power output, butI'd guess north of 200 horsepower (stock output is 160 or 170 hp and 185-190 ft/lbs) It's stunned alot of peope who were racing against it because noone expects a fight from a 91 cutlass, let alone a wagom . Not sure of top speed, but I'm guessing about 125 or 130 mph (governor limited).

345 hp, 390 tq in the Magnum :)
