"now, fins do help... you see, when the car is travleing at high speeds, the air tends to go under the car and lift it up, and a decent sized fin, along with a bumper or whatever it is...a body kit... can help it stay on the ground. "

Considering that Honda Civics and Ford Probes and the like are front-wheel drive (not to mention incapable of reaching speeds high enough for the fin to make much of a difference), if those fins were there for aerodynamic reasons they'd also be putting a fin on the front.  

No, they're just slapping 'em on there because they have poor taste in asthetics.  Any car (besides a late '60's Daytona/Superbird) with a huge fin = stupid.

Mustang is at least a decent car, provided it's the V-8 version.   I pity the poor slobs who buy V-6 Mustangs.

If you want a fast car Joedirt, just go buy a new Z28. They'll cease production on F-bodies in Sept. of this year. Camaros and Firebirds are as stout as they have ever been, and fastest too I think. But as good as they are, they can't be produced if kids don't like 'em anymore, and apparently they don't like 'em. The kids who don't buy sport-utes buy their own version of fast cars-gay lil celicas with all kinds of add-on junk.  :eek:



Sad. :(

Actually Monk, I will be taking a Euro-delivery of a 2005 M3, in 2005 :D  I *will* look you up!  In the meantime, my 330 will have to get me "up to speed". :)
