Evil John: did you know that Chase's 8 (or your wouldbe 8) actually came with an awesome aftermarket ignition upgrade that's worth like $500 right now? The company also went under but their products were pretty damn legit -

on the bright side, his suspension was loose and if you would've taken it to the track and mountains like you do, you probably would've died

perhaps you dodged a bullet

Yeah, when I did suspension work for Chase, everything was super loose, the bolts were not torqued down to specs stuff. There was actually one bolt a 1/4 of an inch all the way out. I conclude that the previous owner had aftermarket parts on it and swapped back the OEM suspension in a hurry to sell his car... or maybe it was a lease?

yeah, lucky for evil john he didn't get it because the loose suspension would've killed him on the track or mountain and lucky for chase he never abused the car when he first got it and he came up on a really good ignition upgrade.
