I improved the engine to 200 hp and improved the brakes and suspension.
Funny you bring up the Vega.... A friend of mine bought a street/strip Vega bck in 1974 that had been customized with a DZ-302 Z/28 motor installed. I took one ride in that sucker on the streets and told the owner he better have a Bible in the glove box. That car was insane and too scary to drive on the streets, hell you could hardly control if you had a heavy foot. Now with slicks at the strip it was a different story.
