2016-2020 Shelby GT350, not as quick as a Mustang GT with an autotragic and not as fast as a GT500 making it the Miata of the current Mustang line-up but with the manual and the 5.2 plus Ford really nailing the sweet spot in the chassis tuning makes it a blast to drive.

I was telling a coworker how I fit better in a 911 compared to my GT350 and he told me one of the engineers in the program was 6'4" and that was a consideration in the design of the car so the engineer could comfortably drive a 911. 

9/10 most of the bad press you read on the interwebz is from armchair drivers engaging in bench racing ( admittedly we all get caught up in it time to time ). 0-60, 1/4 mile, braking distance and lateral acceleration is how they stack cars alomg with a trip to Lightning Lap for the definitive lap time experience (…

The auto industry especially! I love it when people wish GM would go tits up not realizing it would decimate the industry and most likely take down a few manufacturers.

This is true! I’m just a workplace peon but I don’t have enough time left in my life to recount how many times I’ve been told that I represent a manufacturer and need to make a supply issue right at consideeable cost to the company and at personal expense all because a supplier bungled inventory or there was a…

Good on Ford but its a wasted effort all the same since all we’ll hear about is how Ford introduced a vehicle with a shitty top regardless of whatever they did to right the issue or the other common refrain will be “ sure they did it this time but I can’t forgive Ford for the Pinto depsite the fact that I wasn’t…

The boring ones... less facetiously tbough some cars just wouldn’t work without out them. My goto example is the current GT500. A faster car in every way compared to it’s GT350 predecessor thanks to the Tremec DCT.

Really...

We will be, the planet has endured worse and been through a few extinction events. Now it might only be few thousand people but humans have an advantage nothing else on the planet has had before and that’s the ability to supremely adapt to a changing environment. It’s helped humans survive what otherwise would have…

Not so much a regular production car but man I’d dig a De Tomaso Pantera kit car with an updated chassis and suspension geometry and a nice 6 speed transaxle with the chassis setup to accept the V8 or for the tech obsessed a T4 or T6 and another chassis for the EV crowd.

Still feels pretty meh...

The SBC is never going to die. It will become the hobby engine of the future. Once GM shuts down the foundry the LS will coast for awhile but it jist doesn’t have the same momentum for the reasons you cite. It is still hugely supported by the aftermarket and even GM itself.

Indeed they are, but Citric is right. Besides LS guys just treat SBC guys like a senile old grandpa.

Agreed, and I'm a Ferd guy. The SBC is the undisputed king of V8s. Long after the dust settles and you want something ICE the SBC will still be around. 

I’m going with the tried and true Chevrolet small block V8. Venerable predecessor to the LS of which they only share bore spacing ( the LS and Ford Windsor V8 share more in common with each other than the SBC and LS do ).

Which really means Ford’s Windsor V8 was the greatest V8 of all time!

Quicks ( and what car doesn’t have them) aside it was fairly robust and easy to work on as well as cheap to get into at one time. I’ve often joked if you can’t wrench on a fox body you have no business touching cars at all.

They said the same thing about sporty and performance cars from the 60's and early 70's in the late 70's and 80's - you could buy cars like the OG GT350 for pennies compared to what they are worth today (I remember one guy selling his for less than 4k after his wife was too far along in her pregnancy to safely drive…

Opportunity ertainly ( VA is raking me over the coals on PPT since its based on market value so property taxes are going up) but man I’m gonna hold onto the GT350 ( dealer offered another owner 10k over his purchase price ) but these are the halcyon days of the internal combustion engine performance car. Here on out…

G-body Cutlass??? Man, people loved those cars! Hell G-bodies in general were well liked, especially in SS. 442, and T-Type trims.
