I've travelled in one of them - we were on a private road and the owner decided that he'd never really floored it (too scared!) - so he did - and the horizon disappeared!

He sold it in the end, 'cos it was fun in the dry, terrifying in the wet.

Donor for a Viento or Mcsorley +4 ?

I used to think they looked OK but now they are not a patch on a Mustang.

6.6l with crap handling - mmmmmmmmm

I have been out in a friends 5.7l Chevy Camaro. That was a nice car and very fast. Took it out down one of the industrial estates one Sunday afternoon for some fun. It was videoed, but I dont have it handy unfortunately!

Still prefer the Trans Am Firebird tho

To be brutally honest, the car had a vast bonnet, a cockpit smaller that a Capri's, and a boot you couldn't get a briefcase into (due to the vast fuel tank underneath). The finish of the inside was only as good as a 70s/80s Capri, as well (i.e. basic).

Made a beautiful noise though...

I had a chance to buy one like that a few years ago for $2500. had it been a stick, I would have.

the owner had put 4" exhaust on the car. made the earth shake at an idle

Back when I was in highschool we called those jellybeans as they were everywhere and every colour wherever you looked.

Sweet! A classic that.

How about a Nova? (And no I'm not talking Vauxhall kind)
