If you get the hawk, you would only need a simple tune-up of plugs, wires, filters, and maybe fresh oil before it would start running NICELY. I'm almost positive it has the 3:23 rear (which is VERY nice). Plus the car is so much rarer, I hardly EVER see them around Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Get it. Mod it. Smile.

And don't forget about all the suspension goodies that come stock on it

I'll bet he meant to say 3.73's...........nobody really brags about having 2.73's as a performance mod.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think 2.73's was an option on 97's.
I thought 3.23's or 3.42's was all there was available.

no. it was an option to have 2.73's....a really stupid one

i know because my car came with them. a friend has a 97 formula which also came with the 2.73's. It is just a non-electronic form of traction control and emissions.

My 97 Z28 A4 has the crappy 2.73's in it. Going to 3.42's soon though.
