:lol: Oh... danger danger danger! :D If you live long enough :headbonk: I wanna know how fast that car is. I'm thinkin' that if "mom" sees that post, you may need all the speed you can get! :p

It isn't just high revving though, but size and hp matters here. I mean, the Honda Civic Type R (older models) rev to 9k, but still get way better than 20mpg hwy. Of course. they don't make 500+hp... in fact, I'm thinking none even made over 200, which, in comparison is... :lol:

AWE SOME! So... not it's about power to weight ratio? :lol: Here I was, thinking it was about weight... period. Evidently I was having a different conversation. :doh: The Camaro stopped being popular because... we ran outta Smokey and the Bandit flicks! :p Seriously though, it wasn't about...

This isn't about Mustangs, so it hardly matters, but whatever makes ya sleep better. :thumbsup:

See... I have a concrete foot! My 5L is a 4X4 Supercab w/ 6'5" bed on stock 18's, but I'm having trouble just maintaining the rating even though most of my driving is highway. I already have right at 12k on it... 4mo and 5days old. :o Of course, 5,980 lb (with me and my daily stuff in it)...

Undoubtedly? The LT1 in Corvette picked up 2mpg overall(fueleconomy.gov) vs the old LS3 6spd(M & A) applications. That's 1 better than Mustang, but since the Camaro has more weight and likely different gearing, it may not be notably better. Plus, the 2.3L Mustang may be every bit as good as the...

That car is a great example of what I'm talking about!!! ;) Look at all the ... not stock stuff. The rear... 100% REPLACED The suspension... 100% REPLACED The engine... 100% REPLACED The brake system... 100% REPLACED They've even stretched the wheelbase and track width and moved the axles...

Man... I think everyone should go through 2 things before being really turned loose on our roads in America: #1, attain a Class A CDL. It teaches respect for the road and others on it, having to lumber along slowly almost everywhere you go. #2, own some older GM product. It helps teach how to...

Got it. Incidentally, I took my truck in on Tuesday and while there, asked specifically about the production date based on my window sticker. I was told that the date on the sticker is the "actual build date" and he explained, that's when the numbers were officially added to the Ford data...

Congratulations! When do you really expect to take delivery? I see that it claims a build date of July 15th, so it should be ready very soon, eh? Pay way more than MSRP??? I thought of the 1993- Cobra R. I thought the R got the 920A ?? Pffft... my DD is no better. In fact, that's the rating for...

Silly to say. Ford won so many battles, GM stopped producing the F-body for several years. Beating your rival into submission = bragging rights. ;) Besides, while the ($72,000+ )Z/28 wins on a road course, the GT500 is easily faster. That said, the GT500 isn't in production right now and I...

It is difficult to know, but thinking it over, I can't see why many would've been killed in the fashion we fretted for so long. After all, the vehicles would be stopped, then slowly moving in most cases. They'd also be turning in circles in most, if the driver has a clue about parking. Well... I...

I heard about it 1st from a Ford tech, regarding a 2L(I believe) and he said it was an issue for the 3.5L 1st and he mentioned that it mirrored the problem of the 3L BMW "Bi-Turbo" or whatever they call it. He did say also: High rpm helps to "hide" the problem and in fact, it prolongs the...

El OH El! :lol: That's just wrong! I gotta say, I like that car and if I had... Idonno, $100,000 with ONLY a car to buy and already had everything else I need in the whole world, I'd pay 65k for one! :D

I think the LT1 is a great engine, but it has widely known concerns already. I read just today that the high pressure fuel pumps have already failed on some Corvettes... not too old yet. I don't care about the warranty part... don't want my 6mo old car needing repairs due to part failure. Aside...

I thought the sedan was the lighter one? Yeah, it doesn't really seem (at this point) it will come down to the typical interwebz claims. The more we talk about it and hear about it, the more likely it ends up being what most of us expected from the start... a 3,750 3,800 lb sled. The thing is...

Z/28 happens to be the only thing to directly compare to at this point, that's all. Besides, they still sell it ... it's not an obsolete chassis so far. That makes great sense. A sub 3,400 lb GT350 ... R, even... would be astounding. :eyebulge: Agreed! It would be like when the 6th came out and...

I can't agree... GM is still in the top 3 automakers(sales) in the whole world. That's not indicative of the market thinking it's not a good product. Personally, I think Ford makes a better product across the board and honestly, I think most manufacturers have their bright spots, but GM has been...

The end of the age? C'mon... a tad premature, don't you think? 1st off, OHC has been around much longer, seemingly about twice as long. Next, OHV is clearly still in use in many places, being the primary V8 for GM and Dodge/RAM and while I never think about Viper in general, doesn't that have an...

I was almost, but not quite(because- 1st time out) disappointed in the results of that race. I looked things over though and decided it's not so bad. 2 GT350R-C (think that's what they're called) entered(and 1 BOSS302) as well as 4 Z/28R cars, one of which won the race. The 158 finished 4th...
