Most don't notice that the newer Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers are faster in the 1/4 then there counterparts during the 60s and early 70s.
Had a nice deep blue new Camaro pull along side me today at a redlight. He revved his engine...light changed...we had at it....after I just chirpped 2nd heading for
three he backed off. Dunno what spooked him? His definately was an auto.
he was driving a chevy.......nuff said.
i coulda pulled up next to ya in my caravan..and if i even remotley thought you wanted to run, i would have.....and lost, but i'd have not backed off.
in my stangs....when my 83 was stock, i never EVER lost a race, on the street or track to a stock camaro of that era. or dodge. i lost to quite a few buicks though, till i figured out hot to beat them.
when that stang was modified, i still never lost to anything similarily modded.
repeat above for the 89, 'cept it was faster, both stock, and once modded.
when i cough up the money for a new gt, it will be repeated once again.
almost forgot.......i've only seen one camaro modified so far in my area....probably 'cause most of em are still sitting at the dealers......but it sounded ok.
i've seen quite a few modded stangs passing the shop. how can one not notice a car that is growling as menacingly as the new stangs do>?
