    monte ss made 180hp, the irocs about the same...hate em all with a passion? or is a specific
    thing that makes you so rabidly hate C3's? perhaps overcompensation of some sort?

    i mean, how much hp did a 70 cuda with a slant six make? but thats nothing a quick 340-440
    swap wont cure, just like MOST "normal" cars......
    Kinda sad when the top sports car of the day, would get out run by a dodge truck.

    applies here. or as freud said, latent hostility and scorn often hide the true feelings
    of want and jealousy.....

    5.0 Foxes, pretty broad area there. Monte SS, was there ever really a fast one? Gen 2 IROCs, meh.

    A Body Barracudas. Glorified Darts. E-Body Cuda was 383 base. I had a '71 Barracuda winter beater, yes I regret that thing getting trashed, but I just finished what 5 Midwest winters started.

    Late 70s, early 80s Corvette.... Fiberglass body, like any good kit car. If you got in before the collectors a good start.

    Good Luck with the IRS though....

    as well you should. takes a TRULY manly man to wrassle a manual steering
    iron headed big block C3 into submission. better to wait for the self
    driving conversion and leave the gnarly dinosaurs to those of us who
    are capable of driving them ourselves.....

    I cannot believe they even came out in public in it at this point . There was nothing in that video that looked good . And even when the driver that was there ( and he knew he was there just in case and wasn't reading a romance novel or the Wall Street Journal couldn't stop it from hitting the wall , well , if I had been interested , I wouldn't be any more .

    Maybe someday they will sell those systems at stereo shops then everybody who buys one will be coming back later to sue when they, you-know, hit a hay bale and stuff. I dunno, all kinds of stuff could happen.

    I hate getting old but am happy to have grown up in the era I did.
