Have you seen pictures of the GTO? In this months C&D driver it looked like a pumped up cavalier from the sides and back. :(
I don't think anyone here is thinking of the new GTO.

The **REAL** GTO is what counts. As is the real Buick GS, real 442, real SS, real R/T, and.........you get the picture.

Musclecars, but I would never buy one of those pieces of sh!t. Give me a 240sx with an RB25DET swap.

I owned and drove daily a 1969 Camaro SS from 1983-1985 and traded it straight up for a 1-year old Chevette. Worst auto mistake in my life.

That Camaro today in that condition would be worth $25k or so.

I totalled the Chevette in a minor accident 4 months after the trade.

If there's anything we've learned from movies, it's that when there's a gasoline shortage, we must drive the most inefficient cars available, preferably with huge superchargers.

Yes. and we must always be on the road looking for gas. when if we just stopped driving, we wouldnt have need of said gas.

but if we're on the road looking for gas, we need the gas.

that. and it's an awesome car.

now.. if we could fit a V-8, 429, RWD chassis. manual transmission. in THIS body, then, my friends, we'd have a sleeper, ready to OWN any ricer.

ricer 1: "what's that rumbling?"

ricer 2: "that old POS camry must have awesome subwoofers. let's check it out after beating him"


proceed to ownage.

I never said it was.. :p

I like 'em for some reason...

Shrug.

The 280ZX Turbo's 2.75L I6 makes 180HP @ 5600RPM and 203ftlbs @ 2800RPM. Not TERRIBLE. I hear it's pretty easy to add the HP too.

The car is a bit heavy at 2825lbs tho.

OK fine, how about a Dat.. I mean, Nissan 300ZX? :p
