Most are idiot lights. oil pressure always reads the same. a bad irv or really low voltage causes a fluctuation. the emissions computer is really good, so is the speed/odometer and you can do the w2 mod to read well over 100mph. the temp guage will slowly heat up. rpm's are way off.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
