Never liked V8's all that much........Too much noise making everyone know what you're up to.......And there's always a half-second delay after you blip the throttle before it revs up..... not to mention the throttle springs are usually way too stiff
Put a blown six in it, cut 800 lbs, and give me some windows I can actually see out of, and I might be interested. Last edited by Homeslice; 02-09-2011 at 09:33 PM.. |

I use a spread-bore mechanical secondary carb, and careful pump shot tuning to get throttle response that's nearly instantaneous.

No interior shots, but it's GM so I figure it's safe to assume the dash and console components will still be Playskool quality for $50k.

Fit, finish, and materials really don't get distinctly better as the price tag goes up. (this isn't universally true, mind you, but not far from it)

I'll just keep my old 2002 car that's long been paid for...similar power and close to 1000 lbs. less.

That's why I like the headsup display that I have in the Vette which also helps you see your speed instantly when the popo pops up from over the hill or around the corner. ![]() The front of the Camaro looks decent I think...not too crazy about the back of it and yes 4,000 lbs. is a lot.

Interior looks OK, but it's sad when a base-model Civic has more side-support in the seats. How are you going to do any high-performance driving when you're swimming in your seat?
And I wonder if that oil pressure gauge actually reacts to changing RPM & temperature like it's supposed to, or does it just stay in a "normal" range all the time to prevent clueless people from getting scared. Last edited by Homeslice; 02-10-2011 at 09:49 AM.. |
