This would be my first 2002, actually it would be my first car at all.( I'm 26 and just decided to get my license) I have been reading as much as I can about them and other cars to be as informed about my decision as I can. I found a pretty cool 76 in cali but i had a few questions that i couldn't find answers to. Are the 75's that much worse on performance then earlier models from the emission regulations? And how can I tell if a 76 was sold in cali and has all the same changes that the 75 has? I read that the 76 is the best for the first time 2002 owner. Does this really hold true? Thanks for any help you can offer.
