I`ve had a 96 CE, LT4 for a little over three years with a 60k+ miles on it
now and it has been the most trouble free car I`ve ever owned, just regular
maintained that I do myself with the help of the service manual. M&R cost
have been almost nothing compared to any of the fast European cars.

Mileage is high, waaaay high for a `96. Idle problems could be a huge
headache...I wouldn`t pay more than 6k for a car with problems and high
mileage. My `96 Conv, loaded with 22k was only $13k...there are better cars
out there. Look for one.

Subject: Valve at exhaust manifold, + or - ?

I´m trying to figure out the mysteries of my C3, and at the right hand side
exhaust manifold, there is some sort of valve with a counterweight, at the
bottom end of the manifold, and with rising RPM it will open for a larger
flow. I know similar but more advanced valves from motorcycle engines, where
they give more bottom torque, but is that also the function here, or just
for noise reduction ?, and will I lose low end torque and gain top end hp if
I remove the valve, (and why only one at the right hand side ??)
