1. I missed the 'Stang, but did you see the newest "retro" chevy...
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 07:09 PM by alg0912
...that has a front end that looks like the '53 Vette? It looks like a miniature station wagon from the back, tho. Oooh - and VERY COOL Indiglo instrument cluster...

On edit - the Pontiac Solstice is pretty hot looking, too...

2. Not eh one you mention....
They were jumping so fast from one to the other.

But they did show the 2005 'Vette.

I'm not too sure about it, it looks like "Honey, I Shrunk The Corvette."

If I could afford a new 'Vette, I'd want it to able to haul ass! :-)

4. Isn't that the one w/ the 400 hp engine?
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 08:20 PM by alg0912
A smaller car w/ that much horsepower has gotta be scary!

But, I'm out of the sportscar thing now - I killed my Porsche last month...

Before


After ;(

But I did gain some cool lookin' metal...

12. I'm just glad to still be here with y'all!
I loved my Porsche, but better she went to Porsche heaven than me to Hell (which I bet smells an awful lot like FreeRepublic...}()

3. If it's not hybrid then F it.
I saw a hybrid earlier today with a Kucinich bumper sticker.

One car out of 300 million... But one person having enough sense, while being a nice start, isn't nearly enough...

8. This ain't your daddy's Pacer...

I have to admit... I've not been very interested in the Mustang since 1973, but this one has "it."

9. I liked the 94-95s
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 10:05 PM by Crisco
For a little while there, they got their geometry back (talking dimensions, not suspension). Then they turned around and blew it. The above new one still has way too much plastic on it for my taste.

16. Heehee...I think the 4.6 came out in 95 or 96. But, I'm not positive.
Sorry about your accident. Yeowch (for you and the car).
