    From a performance per dollar point, would you may want to look at the vids I posted here.


    I'm very surprised with the performance so far. Just something to think on if you're not immediately repulsed by the idea.

    I stopped watching the dyno video after they left it in 5th instead of 7th (they aren't fooling me).

    Pretty impressive truck.

    Yeah, I was a bit disappointed in the gear as well, but the drag was impressive. The power and speed plus a factory warranty with nothing but a bolt on SC is s bit nutty to me. Nice to know if I ever get bored I can supe it up.

    On Tuesday I will be test driving a 2014 Shelby GT500. One of my buddies owns one and wanted to get me behind the wheel.

    Watching these two cars, but they are a bit overpriced (one about 10k).

    IMG_5314.jpg IMG_5275.png

    However, the owners may negotiate.

    Much like the Corvettes I have been looking at, some think they hold mint value on 11-13 year old cars which can force potential buyers to just buy the newer model.

    Something like this...

    Mustangs sound GOOOOD.

    the flat plane one (GT350R)...not so much. it just screams.

    the odd firing order of the Coyote makes a good burble.

    I agree. Looked at some GT350 cars and after some research decided to not go with the voodoo motor.

    I'm sure you've already seen this, but in case you haven't.... thought you'd enjoy a morning laugh :D

    Since it looks like you'll be purchasing that new ride sometime this fall, don't forget to use the appropriate lubricants for the fall season...

    These are fun sports sedans. With some mods it could be pretty good (brakes being the first thing). I looked at the IS500...and it is on a list of cars.

    I dismissed another Mopar muscle car to replace the RT challenger I sold a couple years back when I saw the Charger was going all electric. Now that they are offering a Hurricane version I am willing to take a wait and see stance on them for a few years as a possible retirement buy

    If those motors pull anything like a BMW S58 motor...you will be pleasantly pleased.

    They got me back in the door by not screwing up the look and visual character of the car like I thought they might. My RT was the slowest pig in its class but I was fine with that and Got it because I thought it was sexy ever since it came out in 08.

    Don't be sad bro. It's just not what I want right now. We were just talking about getting a Tesla once we settle down in our next 15-20 year home.

    Went to check out this 94 LC today.

    2C1F0FCF-11E2-4833-92BA-FE21B9AD635C.png

    Then noticed this beautiful gem. It was the garage owners vehicle (as was the red one he was selling). Wished my LX450 looked as nice as his. Was on 37” Toyo Open Country with a 6” lift, but he said it was too high. Lol!

    Did you consider a new Camaro at all? Too slow/too expensive to get the supercharged version?

    It has the LT4 engine. That's a hard pass for me.
