The B.S. targa top that has to be removed with a ratchet and a t-40 torx bit.
I would like to thank them for saving $15.00 bucks on every automatic car by putting in the Dana 36 instead of the Dana 44

I actually do not have a problem with the Opti itself...I do have a problem with where they located it...directly under the water pump is a dandy place to put an incredible moisture sensitive part...Duh!

Burning Brakes
To solve the pooling water at the rear window: Take three squares of paper towel and roll them up tightly into a large cigar-like tube. Then push one end into the pooled water at the corners of the rear window.
I do this while drying the rest of the car. The wick effect will draw the water from the rear hatch corners, and by the time you're done drying the rest of the car, the water will be sucked up by the paper towel roll. Hang them up to dry, and reuse them for months.

Couldn't have said it any better myself!
Brakes... Power braking is a must from high speeds other wise you can say "HELLO" to the persons bumper in front of you! (Woo hoo!!! C5 brake up grade this week!)
Opti... Warm starts are a joke... Talk about embarrassing when you are at a car show or a get together and your vette sounds like a bunch of pots and pans falling down a flight of stairs while trying to start.
Bose... My CD player STILL to this day doesnt work... and I dont have the option of ripping apart my dash to get the thing fixed because I daily my car and I at LEAST need radio. Im a musician.
FX-3... Cant feel the difference between, touring, sport, or performance to save my life... Its a plus when you are selling the car... But what a waste?...

With my long tube headers all plugs are easy to get to, but with the factory manifolds, the thin metal heat shielding made it much more difficult on my 86'. Pulling the wheel skirt and going under the AC plumbing and manifolds was much easier on #2 and #4.

Weather Stripping
4+3 shift linkage (never liked the sound and feel of it, just 'clunky')
Headlight **** (**** kept falling off)

Joe, you can get that fixed for $100 and along with a new drive there will be several improvements, one is the skipping during play when you hit bumps on the road. here's the place:

And about the FX3... the ride IN GENERAL is MUCH more stiff then a standard C4... I have driven both! But I feel no difference between modes. My car now has 48k on it. Could that be why?

They put the darn vanity mirrors on the back of the visors. I could look at myself driving a lot easier if it were on the front of the visor. ..............
