I don't believe it's the downside of owning a Lamborghini - it's the downside of just being an asshat.

Ya it's a shame the 5.7 never had the stick, but I think the T-5 could've handled it unless GM was putting a different spec T-5 in than Ford. My last 5.0 put down 276rwhp and 300 ft/lbs at the wheels and the only issue I had with that T-5 was due to a loose shifter and not from drag launches.

In '96 or so I was looking to buy a 5.0 TPI, 5 spd 3rd gen, but they were impossible to find. If I'd find a 5 speed car they usually had the HO motor like the T/A in this video, or TBI. That forced me to look at 5.0 Mustangs which I hadn't even considered and I ended up buying one.

But now the 5 liters and 8 cylinders makes 400+hp. The old 5.0s had very restrictive heads.

#1 I would say is buying a used '06 Solstice without test driving an NC Miata, especially when I had owned NA and NB Miatas in the past and loved them. The Solstice had suspension that was much too soft for the driving I enjoy and, having to get out of the car to put the top down or up got old fast. In the end it just…

Matchbox cars started my love of cars and video games (played a ton of Pole position, Stunt Driver - any car game really) to hold me over until I was licensed.

I'll have to check next time I'm on via a PC - I don't recall seeing the ads then.

I never see those Facebook ads. Thank you AdBlock Plus :)

Under the seat or the tail light panel sounds like a great idea. Thanks!

I'm thinking about duct taping my key under the speaker shelf in my sedan. I also wonder if they'd look in the seat pocket behind the passenger seat.

I'm not sure - I'm going to buy some McGard's and just find a good spot to hide the key. I can probably duct tape it to the bottom of the rear speaker shelf (sedan).

I'll have to see if I could dig it up.

I think the shock sensor is optional though. Mine has it - thunder has set it off a few times.

I kinda like that.

That's embarrassing.
