i have a 1997 Buick Century Custom(i know the granny car). is there anything i could do on it performance wise? if not i will probably sell it.

i was offered $5000 from the people who clean the house.

if i were to sell the buick what car should i get. one that i could extensivly modify. the price of the car alone can not exceed 15,000. i also need a car i can fit in, im 6' 6".

Re: need some advice

Do you have a long torso or long legs or long both? I am 6'8" with a very long torso, so that causes more problems for me than leg room. But yeah, a mustang or camaro is always a safebet.

My old car, a '91 Infinity Q45 is slowly be surely getting some aftermarket stuff happening (nicoclub.com and q45.org). I simply loved that car, too, but it wasn't taken care of too well before I bought it, so that was hurting it later in life. Some people on nico are now getting ready to do some turboing for an already near 300 HP engine.

Re: need some advice

there ARE things you can do to it, there are things you can do to any car

RSM Racing makes a supercharger
custom exhaust is always doable
and most parts from the 3.4L Grand Am can be made to fit the 3100 in the Century and it shares the chassis with the Grand Am/Alero
