Kinda makes me wonder what I could get with the Celeb. When I bought it in 2003, it had the light duty brakes, and lightweight wheels with spoked hubcaps. I had access to a free parts car, so I swapped it to HD brakes and the Euro steel wheels which are very heavy, along with 6000 STE rear disc brakes. The HD driveaxles, wheel bearings, calipers, and rotors all weighed noticeably more. It does stop a heck of a lot better though.
