    97's arent that bad, but have the draw back of being kind of year only car.

    The computer and blower are year specific, but its easy to swap to a newer style blower if you wanted, its just vacuum lines that change.

    And like I said with the computer, if you wanted to tune it or get another pcm, its has to be for a 97. And 97's where the first year of the new body style and have some quirks that kinda got phased out in the newer years.
