Spread the gospel! Early 2nd gen F -cars ( especially the Firebird ) were some of the sexiest cars ever to come out of GM.

Never had that problem in my S-197 or S550 but your post illustrates the issue pretty well. People dont want to conform to the car, they want the car to conform to them.

Sales have been so poor team Camaro probably shot thier wad on the redesign and cant make a case for something better until they budget next fiscal year despite being fairly cheap to do. 

Guy Fawkes isnt 'murican enough but Bill the Butcher on the other hand....

Alanis you win the interwebz today with the snappy headline on my grumpy old geezer feed ( aka Facebook ) 

Hah, somebody did a chop where they grafted the fenders and front fascia from a GT350 on the small VAG crossover... and.... it actually looked... AWESOME!!!!!

Man I wish they would develop a sinus infection shot. I don’t normally suffer from the flu even when I miss the shot but damn do I get a fucking horrible sinus infection every year - ergo if your on the east coast and end up with a nasty sinus infection I’m probably patient zero!

Ford did a decent job around that time. I’ve owned two S-197 Mustangs and two S550 Mustangs and there is a pretty apparent difference in the build quality of those cars.

Well it depends on what Ford going tits up does to the supplier base? If they fold and take a bunch of suppliers with them and it cripples the rest of the industry it could create a cascade effect throwing the country into another deep recession that could last even longer and possibly result in the insolvency of…

On a side note...

Yeah, I’ve never bought into Ferd… no bailout money, ‘murica! Fuck Yeah!!!!!

Hell I’d but it if I was sitting on a mountain of gold. I’d put in a big barn right next to a 93 Cobra, a C4 ZR1, FD RX7, and a white Tesstarossa. 

Especially in a foxbody.

Cheap power, especially the LS engines. When Ford abandoned the pushrod engine for the MOD engines and their derivatives the only game in town for building a Ford pushrod engine is the aftermarket and the expense it entails plus the OHC engines from Ford are pricey to modify.

Lighter chassis - GM’s torque arm rear suspension was better than Ford’s opposed diagonal four link.

Street racing is still fairly huge in my area and its sorta of cyclical - cops break up street racing in one city and they lay low until it filters to another city in the area then rinse and repeat. Its been that way at least since the 90's if not earlier. 

The “mothering gene”? So I guess this guy istrying to say women lack the capability to be absolutely cutthroat and willing to do whatever it takes to put a car on the pole.

Never let a good crisis go to waste!

The prime rate was crazy high due to Carter’s choice for the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker. Dude vowed to lick the inflation problem and slammed the brakes on the economy with an insane prime rate.

Has anybody ever been able to confirm Tesla’s industry leading claim on margin? If true they are blowing Ferrari and Porsche out of the water with nearly double the margin.
