People really hype the rarity thing too much sometimes.
Rarity has drawbacks such as fewer performance parts, fewer available techs that know how to work on your car, and then there is the attention. Yes, you get more attention from the general populace usually, but you also get more attention...
Really cool.
The ATS is a good car. I think the biggest problem it has is that it is a Cadillac with the pricing and expectations to match. Most people I know still don't think of sporty cars when they think of Cadillac.
RX8 is a cool car in that it is unique. They are also a blast to drive, being very well balanced in the twisties and revving a Wankel to 9000 rpms is awesome! I had a friend with one that I had to repair on occasion because he abused the crap out of it. It's actually behind the Mustang in my...
We're just lucky I guess! Though my wife has a bit of expensive taste too. She wants me to restore a 'Cuda for her at some point down the road. It's how I managed to negotiate a free hand on my Bricklin:love:
I do really like how sleek the S550 Mustang looks. I loved the fronts of the...
I showed my wife the pictures last night. She would be what is classified as an uninformed buyer. She said she liked the Mustang because it looked stronger and more like (her words) "stay out of my way or I will break you." She also said the Camaro looked too much like a Transformer. Oh, and...
Mine has the 351W. Just finished a budget rebuild on it with some ported GT40 heads that I got cheap from a guy who replaced them with some Trick Flows on his Mustang, and a decent cam. Wrapping up the details of the installation right now and can't wait to fire it up!
HP, that's my...
Very true. Meanwhile, people like me steal their attention with a 40+ year old car with a stick axle and leaf springs :cheers::headbang:
But in all seriousness, I am interested to see how the driving dynamics of the two cars will compare. I like a slightly more visceral experience, which is...
No magazine article will affect my opinion. My project car was in an article titled "50 Worst Cars of All Time" or something like that, but boy do I love to drive her :D
I think a lot of people are just trying to wrap their heads around the concept, which may or may not have been a good idea. I, for one, fully intend to test out the Camaro myself before coming to any conclusions about it. I'm just raising concerns over a matter that is still somewhat ambiguous...
There are a couple things that concern me about the three radiator design. First is airflow. I may not be an engineer, but it seems pretty common sense that GM would have to pull some pretty funny air routing to get it to flow properly across radiators that are mounted perpendicular to how the...
I was lucky with the three Firebird's I had. Problem free except for being old. My wife on the other hand must have been a masochist or something. A Saturn and two Impalas that were nothing but problem after problem.
My Fusion has given me 45k trouble free miles so far, which is part of the...
Yes, Ford is building the Fusion at FR. Also, as far as I know, they are still running on two shifts. If that's still the case, they have plenty of capacity left should they need it.
It would be quite awesome to have a modern Fbody platform. I feel the reason Ford gave the Mustang its own platform is a pride thing. GM doesn't have the same view of the Camaro because the Corvette fills that place for them. Consequently, the Camaro is simply there as a profit generator, and...
Luckily for me, the only German cars I've dealt with has been in the capacity of helping a friend. Unluckily enough, my wife liked picking out GM cars that must have been manufactured on holidays or something:(
