Tires -> suspension —> brakes for me since you can only brake as hard as the tires have grip and to be frank on a street car with a properly laid out braking system I’ve never run out of brakes (hot rodded 77 Olds Starfire on the other hand with a V8 stuffed in there and brake lines to close to the manifold and Cragar…

Hands down tires followed by suspension and brakes.

Indeed right after I offer to let people ride in my car or enter my home I tell them no smoking in either. Used to drive my mom nuts! 

GT350 with mild boost and a set of sport cups. It would be like stealing candy from a baby when it came to GM guys. 

I would have committed a serious crime in order to get a sound barrier behind the house I grew up in. Located right behind the highway all it had were some trees and a rickety fence to block traffic. You get used to the sound except for say the odd crotch rocket or hot rod screaming past but the worst was when the…

I’d hazard a guess that the practical and affordable emissions improvements have been reached and the incremental gains from here on out are going to negatively impact consumers with reduced power, driveability and so on as well as be costly to implement.

Actually “muscle cars” are hella comfortable to drive since they have power to spare and define effortless cruising and when you need to make that passing maneuver they often leave lesser vehicles in the dust.

All jokes aside, your also not lugging around two plus tons of curb weight. Its like people bitching about the GT350 “only” being equipped with the Tremec TR3160 instead of the TR6060 - the TR3160 in the GT350 is rated for 405 pound feet of torque which is less than the 429 pound feet the GT350 puts out but that…

I guess this going to be another fine Magna-Steyr product? Do cars manufactured at the M-S plant have a specific VIN code?

Sorry Wanksta…

Well don’t know about the movie as a whole but Leto as a creepy ass vampire should work - I’m actually surprised nobody has recycled either Salem’s Lot or say Omen III with Leto taking the head bad guy roll.

I’ve got a Rottweiler and a mutt - apparently the mutt is Catahoula and German shepherd - guess which one will take a bite out of your ass if he doesnt know you when you walk through the door????

Every pit bull I’ve ever met out in the wild and not behind a 5 foot metal fence has been a pretty good dog. Really good dogs and I swear its the assholes that want a vicious dog that have really hurt the reputation of these animals, same with Rottweilers. 

But cats are only capable of only showing indifference and cannot be trusted! Dogs are willing companions and cats only seek gullible chattel that will provide them with tasty wet food and fluffy play things attached to strings as well as the occasional temporary cardboard condo.

However to play devil’s advocate if you live outside the city your contributing to suburban sprawl and negatively impacting the environment ergo all dogs must die!

Well to be fair when you have an old school ride with a metric shittonne of power (say the blown big block variety) you generally dont get a second chance as both the lack of driving aids and safety in general works against you in the worst possible way. 

The only robot that matters is Mazinger Z!

Fair enough with the humidity but low to mid 90's isn’t that uncommon in South East Virginia during the summer with a sprinkle of 100+ degree days (generally in July and August).

Hmmm.... its hard not to side with GM as I could see this becoming a boondoggle but after hitting the link about the 5Pointz Murals it seems like the case has merit under VARA (As I read it)

I would ambassador the shit out of a GT! Yesterday I was thinking about how I would take a GT cross country and see how it shakes down on say a 7,000 mile road trip.
