You should do your homework before such a statement. This car was the spaceship Enterprise for it's time, especially in 1955. I remember my grand pa offroading in his grass fields in his to go check on the cows. Mechanicaly, but not as well as the Peugeot 504, the thing could take a beating. I even bet you that it would have slaughter a 69 Camaro SS in a canonball ... while the driver drank champagne getting sexuall favors from a sweedish model.   :cool:

Anyway, France/Europe traditionaly embraced small engines/small sizes due to fuel economy cost AND narrow spaces requirements. Cars such as R8 Gordini, and Alpines A110 still ruled the rally world in their days despite ridiculously small engines compared to period equivalent USA.

As far as your Camaro, it is to me the nicest design for the post 80s GM line especially with the RS kit. Even if being far from my dreamcar as far as the design, I still favor them over the Pontiac Firebird line, and as you know, Firebird is my thing. Talking about Firebirds, your friend would impress me more if she'd drive a manual. Plenty of big breasted chicks out there prentending to drive cool cars already :t


those are two of the ugliest impressions of a car i've ever seen...i suppose that next youre gonna try to convince us that the reneult fuego was a good car? :rofl

Was just thinking... with the price of oil rising with no end in sight, do you all think we'll be in for another "80s style" redesign of all our production vehicles ?

Well considering most auto makers go out of their way to make fuel efficient cars look like dog turds.. my guess is yes.

I think I'll just drop a natural gas powered V8 in my 55 Chevy truck if I ever get it finished..

 :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

the only 2 slow fords i've owned were my 74 mustang 2.3L 4 spd, and my 95 taurus 3.8L.  :rofl :rofl

then only fast chevy i ever owned was my 70 c-10 pickup with a 400 smallblock 4 speed, 4x4. that was shockingly quick when i finished with the engine. :O

hell, even my 81 futura with a 250 straight 6 could handle average cars in stoplight challenges :O

Some awesome cars posted.  Shame they don't 'work' here.  Better start building my raft to get over there - any Cubans got any tips?

Oh, and Checkers has some amazing cars, will point him in the direction of this thread.
