Re: What has 6 gears 425hp and 20in wheels?

Is this "Coyote 5.0" ACTUALLY going to displace 5 litres? That'll be a first for ford.

Bob, it seems that GM likes the niche market served by Camaro, the older crowd with some spending money, Mikey likes it!
As for sixteen-year olds, Chev built a Cobalt, or something like for them
If one wants to buy something more modern, Chev has the Volt.

Looks like the 'niche market' wasn't big enough for Pontiac, or even the Firebird TransAm

and in 4 years when it is selling 25k a year it'll be dead again by those bean counters. Mikey is a dinosaur remember. Retro is great for initial sales but heck look at the xB which has steadly grown in sales each year for a hideous box that looks like nothing else on the road (except the copies)

That's been the history for sure, like many industries, follow the money. When the money is gone, build something else. The xB, well, it's fuel efficient, and practical, always a need there.

As much as I hate ford, the decision to bring the Euro market Transit Connect to the US looks to be a good one as I'm seeing them a lot.

I think they are kind of dumb looking but I do agree that it is something we really do need here in the US. Big gas hog vans are not always needed for some people and I think this is a great solution. Same with the Chevy HHR Panel but I hear they are going to stop making the panel version. Idiots.

Sold my wheels on ebay, and charged 100 for shipping. Which shipping company has the best prices when shipping a whole set of wheels/tires? They are only going accross state pitt

The 370Z is horrifically ugly. If you painted it green, it would look like a frog on wheels.

I don't know what size rotors the STi's and EVO's have, but my fronts are 14.1". The 20's are standard equipment with a 21" being an option.
