[QUOTE=edberg;19637464]k now put the turbos on a v8[/QUOTE] Then the traction will be even worse
The new Camaro SS's look amazing. [img]http://www.thetorquereport.com/2010_chevrolet_camaro_ss_autoin11.jpg[/img] [QUOTE=gamefreek76;19637030]Haha, you're silly to think a Camaro could outrace a Ferrari.[/QUOTE] You didn't watch the video did you? The Chevy kept up easily. Did you hear the power coming out of the engine? It was amazing :buddy:
muscle cars turn fine if you know how to powerslide
[QUOTE=steveo321;19637553]Then the traction will be even worse[/QUOTE] okay because rwd imports defy the laws of physics
[QUOTE=abcpea3;19637617]muscle cars turn fine if you know how to powerslide[/QUOTE] Or if you have arms that can work a steering wheel.
[QUOTE=edberg;19637626]okay because rwd imports defy the laws of physics[/QUOTE] AWD with a RB26TT shan't be touched by a v8
[QUOTE=Hell Strike;19636713][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwTv_VqQ804[/media] you can see the camaro easily catches up to the ferarri.[/QUOTE] Fuck yeah.
[QUOTE=steveo321;19637753]AWD with a RB26TT shan't be touched by a v8[/QUOTE] If you think so... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jkwt79AxDQ&feature=related[/media]
[QUOTE=justin1992;19637376]Did you watch the video? Or just read his post and join the bandwagon that American muscle sucks? That Camaro just DID catch and pass up that Ferrari with LITTLE effort...[/QUOTE] Wow buddy, don't assume. I love American muscle cars, but it's a fact that a Camaro just wont beat a Ferrari. Muscle cars aren't made to go that fast.

A 355 is to ferrari what a 944 is to porsche.

Plymouth duster's pretty sweet too

73' Challanger, MOPAR for the win! [img]http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/751/n29415773332560857843.jpg[/img] This is my buddy matts, he's also got a 77' Trans AM and a 93' Firebird. The 77' [img]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7817/n29415773345365998181.jpg[/img] The 93' (actually his younger bro's, but he lives here in minnesota so hardly drives it) [img]http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/4189/67601090443903892131031.jpg[/img] It's got an LT1 under the hood, which is like an LS1 only with a cast iron block instead of aluminum, it's got a higher red line and bhp output.
Vipers are mid-life crisis cars. Honestly, I think it is dumb to say "LOL THUR SLOW SO DEY SUK" when you're almost never going to go over 100mph driving any car around. Maybe if you race it, but if you do that, you're pretty stupid because you're going to get someone killed. I just want a car that looks mean as hell and sounds mean as hell. Muscle cars deliver just that. Skylines can brag about how much better they corner and stuff, but they just won't ever come close to having the sex appeal of old muscle cars. Muscle cars are pussy magnets.

I think the banshee from gta is pretty cool. whenever i see one, i always hijack it. that's basically all i know about cars. i think the banshee is really fast
[QUOTE=Skwee;19638484]Have you ever heard of a race track?[/QUOTE] It's pretty dumb to own a certain car just so you can take it to a track. Tracks are fucking packed 24/7, at least around where I live. You only get to race every once in a while because of the hundreds of people that want to race.
[QUOTE=steveo321;19637753]AWD with a RB26TT shan't be touched by a v8[/QUOTE] okay so you just turned it into an awd vs rwd thing
Meh, I prefer tuners myself, but I do have a soft spot for the Impala SS.
[QUOTE=fskman;19638604]Meh, I prefer tuners myself, but I do have a soft spot for the Impala SS.[/QUOTE] Impala and Monte Carlo are no longer muscle cars :c
[QUOTE=edberg;19638578]okay so you just turned it into an awd vs rwd thing[/QUOTE] You don't even know
[QUOTE=steveo321;19638858]You don't even know[/QUOTE] know what
[QUOTE=MaverickIB;19638460]you're almost never going to go over 100mph driving any car around.[/QUOTE] depends where you live
