I like the old stuff, but I'm an old guy! Seriously, the LS motors are dynamite,
turbos and injection are awsome, but I've got like $3500 in my 427 making
nearly 600 n/a h.p. I would love to have a turbo LS-1 Firebird that I could drive every day on pump gas, and change fuel and run low 10's high 9's at
the track. But, can't throw that kind of money at it right now, so I'll keep
plodding along with the '80 Z, and hopefully this time next season it will be
in the 9's. With a solid roller cam, spring, lifter upgrade, and a 200 shot, i should be there.:icon_mrgr

I have what I want (Old School at heart) - though my Camaro is not where I want it to be yet, but Chevelle is damn close to how I want it (though it is never done).

eelout: I like the styling of the older cars, but the performance of the newer suspensions/powertrains is great! A good blend of new and old is perfect in my book. Just wish I could afford to do so on my Trans Am!Exactly! Reliability is the main point I would like in any of my rides. I don't like worrying if it will get be there or home. Just get in and go!MxRacerCam said:

I like the look of the Torino but damn did my T-bird WASTE the Torino in terms of reliability. Issues that occured while driving the T-bird, 1, it ate the fuse for the cooling fan. Got warm going through a town, cooled back off when I got back on the open highway and it got me home. Issues while driving the Torino...3 seperate broken rocker arms, dead battery due to bad voltage regulator, tranny problem during dream cruise, rear wheel cylinder on my trip to Minneapolis, radiator started leaking one night...
