   I'll bet it won't fit. There has been a lot of changes to that car since   
   96. If it were a GM car, it would fit.

   That's the only way to go, unless you're going to send him a personal   
   check or pay with a postal money order by mail. A PayPal account is free   
   and would only cost you money when you sell something and your buyer pays   
   through PayPal. Some of the Ebay sellers won't accept anything else for   
   payment.

   30" at 32 fet per second means that you hit the floor in .078 seconds or   
   less.   
      
   There was no time left to acclerate to per second per second.
