Guess who's on the cover of this month's Motor Trend?

-puzzled look-

Camaro never had an 'IRS' or half shafts to worry about.

There are some people runnin 9's in the quarter with their Vette's IRS ..most use hardened shafts just in case, there are some who dont tho.

There's even one guy runnin *eights* in the quarter ..on an IRS, in a black C-5.
And yes he drives it on the street.
Because he can.

They're pretty tuff these days.

No, it never had an IRS but it does have a really, really weak rear end.  Not unheard of for even a stock engine to break them.

Ya .. dana 44 is an ok replacement I hear .. unless you wanna go really fast.

If it's gotta be there every time, no matter what .. there can be only one.

Dana 60.

Everything else is second-best.

LOL ~ Diablo ~ you know what this reminds me of? About 20 years ago my little brother (about 10 yrs old at the time) cut out his face from a photograph and taped it into a body building magazine ~ onto one of the guys who had a pretty gal draped all over him ~ buff muscles, grinning girl & all that.

But he didn't tell anyone about it. He just let whoever flip through it find the thing & crack up laughing.

Heh ~ LOL ~ who needs photoshop?

I never said it did. And here are plenty of people out there who are breaking half shafts.  I would bet sums of money that any 9 sec vette w/  IRS has broken a half shaft or two.

Nah, let fireguy1 make more pictures declaring "WTF" about the first picture.   Maybe after a couple times he'll get it.

Heh...  You guys...

I saw it was fake and figured it was so obvious, I didn't bother commenting.  Back when I was your age (haha) you'd usually see these things at carnivals.  For $10 they'd take your picture and put it on the cover of almost any magazine in print.  I never had $10 so I never did it, but I guess it was a popular thing to do.

I guess I'm still puzzled how anyone could have thought it was real :)
