Cap,

  You can have your stangs,my honda does 0 to 60 by sometime next week,on the other hand it does like to visit gas stations very often!




   

 my old geo was getting upwards of 35mpg on the highway. that's why i still ain't gotten rid of it.........it's a pos....but it always runs, and doesn't burn much gas, when i need to not burn much.

 I get about that,35 mpg but it's all wheel drive!  Really need it for about 6 months out of every year....


   Of course when it gets real bad I just get the dogsled out,it will take me through anything!

To be fair, I helped instigate the banter on road trips when I was younger. I had discovered that if I shook my foot juuuust right whenever we came to a stop that I could trick my elders into thinking the engine was missing/running rough.

That turned many quiet boring car trips into fairly amusing trips listening to my elders bantering over things like reliability and if the vehicle we were in was crap or not.  

lol evil man evil

 hot looking car, although i like the coupes better.

Aye Cap .. ragtops are nice to look at .. I have owned one (a '63 Ford Galaxy vert with the 390) .. doubt if I will ever own another.

Reason is the temperature outside has to be in a pretty narrow range for it to be a top down day.
If it's way cold out, ragtops are just not well insulated.
If it's way hot out, see above.

One of the features I really like about the coupe Vette's is that panel across the top comes off for the 'top down' days,
..and it's fairly well insulated to handle all the other days.
(the small volume that needs heating/cooling helps also)
I am spoiled rotten just settin the temp at 70 degrees
and the heating/AC in the car just keeps it pegged there no matter what's goin on outside.

 that's funny. i had a 64 galaxy500 ragtop with a 352. i loved that car, but as you said, i'll not own another ragtop('cept my jeep wrangler)

that said, this is a bit more of a realistic "open letter" to shelby owners, than the "open" letter to camaro owners awhile back was........
