Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Oh yeah, performance cars can last. My 94 Z28 with a stick had 200,000 miles on the clock. It was about 350 hp and 380 ft lbs with 4.10's and was a joy every second. My most powerful was my 01 with a stick that made 400 hp and 420 ft lbs. Keep that TT looking slick, man.
AndrewOW Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I will certainly try. Those big V8 Corvettes are certainly the business! And sound fantastic I don't doubt. The V8s we have in the UK are virtually silent and smaller 4.2s, etc. Powerful, but tame in comparison. Edited November 8, 2012 by AndrewOW
Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Oh these were in Camaros not Corvettes, same engine I assure you. Its a different kind of animal. Primal even. As in primal scream. Its a very raw experience. Not refined like Euro engines. But gobs of power they do make. 5.7 litres in my Camaros and the truck I have now has a 6.0 litre. The truck makes 345 hp and 380 ft lbs off the show room floor! Room for improvement I say.
Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Tonnes of bolt ons for those rover lumps though if you want them to sound rorty... I'm wondering what my little wagon is gonna sound like after next week... found a header for it... gonna fit it along with a bigger exhaust... it seems like less a performance mod than a "keeping up with modern traffic" mod though... but I'm anticipating it dropping a second off the 0-60 time.
Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Copper Maser I used to own. Nicely understated.
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Flashman, every little bit helps. And as for you, C.Horribilius...r-really?
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, been driving Maserati's for the last few years - I like them as they are fairly rare on UK roads. I'd have a Corvette if they would make a RHD version!
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 RHD or not if you can afford Maserati's maybe you should just pick up a ZR1, lol. I think Maserati's are rare everywhere.
AaronD Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Anyone know or seen anything of the 2013 Mustang GT 500's? Reported to have a whopping 672 hp?
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I don't think they have a reason to HP up yet. Unless you're talking the 5.8 in which case its a little less than that. But Ford needs to do something with rumors of that TT LT4 GM is developing...
Guest COGrizzly Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 1995 Toyota T100 4WD, topper shell, 3 inch exhaust, K/N filter. In HS I had a 1979 Z-28, show car. My first car. It ripped.
clubbedfoot Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 i think a standard canoe would do just fine.....
AaronD Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Sorrry Colosus, it was 662 hp.... http://www.caranddri...500-test-review
Guest Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Yup, thats the one. Chevy's new engines come out next year. Thats when the fun starts. Or will it be when the Barracuda comes back out? Fun times ahead!
AaronD Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I've always been a Mopar nut myself...maybe a new 'Cuda should be fun....we'll see
