I'm a dyed in the wool Ford guy, but this is probably my all time favorite Vette NP for me.

Nice price, I owned a T/A in the past and its the only car I really regret selling. I always liked the Firehawks, and one massaged to make just over 400hp at the wheels is the clencher.

@InsanelySane: My dads buddy had a 72 Chevelle with a 502, and it pulled harder than anything I've ever been in. It would damn near lift the front wheels with street tires. But if you are going crate, why not get the 572?

Crack pipe. You can find an E30 M3 for a lot less than $40k, and unless it was built by Nelson Racing and putting out 4 digit horsepower there is no such thing as a $20k LS1.

When those three go to prison it should be made well known throughout the general population why they are there.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: The 302 equipped Coug's did just fine in Trans Am. Unless it's a vast left wing/right wing conspiracy sold to bolster musclecars performance image, the Trans Am series had lots of turns. So the whole muscle cars can't turn argument is really a matter of perception from people sad that…

Crack pipe, there are very few French cars I'd be caught dead in, this isn't one of them.

@OA 5599: Well played sir.

It's not pretty, but if it was priced right I'd consider one.

@Maxx Cracker: I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it. I wonder if Danica's will have multiple speed vibration settings.

Nice price, this swap isn't uncommon, and the bottom end can reliably handle more than the 250hp he claims (it might be the same displacement, but this aint no Pinto motor.) Finding regular SVO's in this condition you will pay around what he's asking.

@oddfish: Sadly, I doubt the beast will see much road time, so repairs might not be a big issue. I'm sure a US dealer could order the parts from Ford Europe should it need work, but I'm betting it would be easier to order the parts and manuals and do the work yourself (possibly with the help of a Volvo mechanic…

@Ayabe: Sure, the Camry charges forward if you want it to or not, but, it is several hundred pounds heavier, and about 40hp down on the Focus RS. The MKII RS was the fastest car around Fords proving grounds, that INCLUDES the Ford GT. These little cars are beasts. Also, the Focus RS doesn't require a pond, crossing…

I was liking what I saw, until I saw the "sound system." Anyone that thought that looked good is on the pipe.

Maybe its just where I am, but you could get one close to that shape for a couple grand less. For me it's crack pipe, but it is a beaut.

@RäcinG73™: Fair enough, I suppose I don't think about NASCAR much, but then, niether does anyone outside the US.

I'd say Comet, it was the Falcons brother and the least expensive Merc in the 60's.

The French seem to be hyper sensitive about people winning races on their soil. They act like Lance Armstrong is Satan incarnate, lol. Too bad Audi will be back to taint kick them this year.

@facelvega: Both surviving luxury brands anyways. I'd love to see the Packard and Duesenberg names revived to go after Bentley and Rolls though. Don't forget Cord, they made some achingly beautiful cars back in the day.

I love my classic Astons, and Cossie Fords. I added the Pantera because it gets no love in any other games. I did shed a single tear at the Fiero not making my personal cut though. The way the Celica's and 240sx's have been done to death in the GT series I'm surprised to see them make the final poll.
