Keep on pumpin' out dose Camaros and Mustangs!  

Makes the value of my challenger go up daily.

And....Shuff ole boy.  Camaro pulled up next to me a few sundays back, new one V8 was at a red light.

He reved his engine for a go......nice dark blue in color.  Sounded healthy.

Said to myself "last time ya did this was forty years ago...to old to do that now LOL.
Then said to myself....what the hell.......light turned green we're off....immediately knew his camaro was
an auto as it shifted into 2nd......I hit second , chirped headed for 3rd.....he backed down and quit.

5.7 Hemi one......Camaro v8 whatever it was zero.  Guess they don't sell ballz with Camaros?  ;)

And ya the R/t is heavy...but it is nicely sized....and rides like a dream.
And in the "other" post the list I posted of awards won by the Challenger in the last 5 years
seems to validate the publics thinking on the Challenger.  they're even worth more and depreciate
far less quicker then the 2 100K models produced per year Chevys and Fords.  Not just my
opinion....read.


I've nothing more to say...the general public has said it all.

Yup all he has to do is step on the gas to show you his tail lights. Funny he would instigate anything he won't carry through. lol

Why? The eco boost is more than sufficient.

 i know......i've been being wise arsed, alluding to the fact that they're all running v8's in that clown circus that winston cup has become......yet there's no production car of such.  :devil

fair enough. i don't care how many cylinders it takes though...long as the power is there and the fuel mileage is competitive.

that brings us back to the mustang. nearly 30mpg with over 400hp is pretty dam respectable ya know. or the v6 at 308 getting over 30mpg.

 just think....all of us middle aged, or old hot rodders.....whoda thunk, 30 years ago, that we'd be able to get more than 20mpg making decent power, much less topping 30mpg.

 and if it weren't for the epa and their bs, ford would be bringing the better focus over here......which is more powerful than the st, and i think still tops 40mpg. friggin SCARY.....in a fun way.
 i had that customer i've mentioned before with the 650hp 87 gt convertible. he just sold it. he mentioned about putting an order in for an 012 focus st.

My buddy in HS had a GLH-S.     He made about $10,000 over two years in drag races.    One Corvette owner was coaxed out of "racing for slips" and he lost........bad ($2500 went to my buddy instead).

The Focus RS is the one I would get, if they'd bring it here.    300+ HP, Top Speed of 162 mph and a 0-60 in 5.9.    All of that from a Focus.    :rofl
