does it glow?

I like this one, looks kewl with the satin wrap.

I graduated in ‘98 and had a blue Iroc, I miss it badly.

True, although the 1LE was supported for tuning up to 400HP for 1989.

230 hp/330 trq were the stock numbers for the 1988 TPI 5.7L. Fuel injection and digital ignition really helped to break out from the horrible 70’s.

F you man. She had 230 HP with the 5.7L along with 330’Ibs torque. They handle and rotate amazingly well, the 5-speed is fun to drive.

They remind me of the 4C’s wheels, sort of.

I did 115 MPH in my Ram 1500 on a dry lake bed last month, I only had a couple miles and I think 6th gear may have been too tall. I didn’t lower the tail gate or fold the mirrors.

The tail doesn’t seem to show any scorch marks or shredding associated with explosives. It just looks like the fuselage failed and the tail was ripped off cleanly.

See Mythbuster episode, Sonic Boom Sound Off. Watch the Blue Angels break the sound barrier repeatedly out in the desert of CA or NV.

There’also tons to learn.

We would really need to understand at which location on the airframe this transmitter was located.

The reconstruction of the air-frame indicated the center tank explosion.

An unloaded V8 or turbo 6 is actually quite fun to drive around town, all that power is great. It’s also nice to be able to use it as a pickup with a full bed while towing a trailer and still have leftover power for passing and steep grades. A solid rear axle with a 5 link rear suspension handles very well on and off

A solid axle combined with a good 5 link rear end is great for a half ton. Leaf springs are only really necessary for 3/4 tons and 1 tons.

My 2012 Ram 1500 Crew 4x4 Hemi is currently averaging 19.8 MPG with 3.55 axle ratios, it also has 400 horsepower.

My wife’s friend was telling her about her new truck that they bought, she showed her a new Ridgeline. My wife laughed and told her that wasn’t a truck. I had to explain that they had instead purchased a unibody crossover with a front wheel-drive-based AWD system that also included a small pickup bed.

They got killed off because they were selling extremely expensive vehicles to the Gatsbys of the time.

Here’s a cheaper, bit more useful option.
