true, but that explains 90% of all of chevys problems. Lack of ease with maintenance. Thats what makes a car a car...maintenance. i believe if you cant work on it, or make it faster...its useless.

Funny Mustang incident

I agree to an extent. I love having my Supra as a car that, for all intents and purposes, has no boundaries (at least not realistic ones for me), but in the same respect, a lot of my friends are perfectly content with their cars so long as they drive. My best friend spent $700 on a dodge stratus, which isn't too fabulous on gas and it can't idle too well, but he loves it. He dogs the hell out of it, too.tturnpaw said:

haha yeah....speaking of which my dd is an 87 sentra carburated. Totally baseline car, but it gets 35+ mpg and i only spent $500 on it and its extremely reliable. For the time being that is, until my supra is up and running. I guess im just speaking opinion, of course, when dont i?

Mustang or Camaro, people are stupid if they make it all show no go.
I had an 84 camaro, and I loved it. It had a hole in the pipe near the cat that i didnt care much to fix till I got other stuff done, and it sounded loud and nice... but man it was slow stock.
IMO, you should have the HP to back the sound.
And you should be humble about it anyway. Its better to destroy people without bragging, cuz then its funny. If you brag then destroy them, ur just an ass

speaking of which, my friend with the 3kgt just bought an 07 ZX14, so i got to drive the gt home! Coilovers are soo much fun It may be on the slower side (NA) but at least it can outhandle most cars.

Is it wrong that I go around telling everyone I have a 7m-ge when I actually have a 1jz-gte? :biglaugh:Burntz said:And you should be humble about it anyway. Its better to destroy people without bragging, cuz then its funny. If you brag then destroy them, ur just an ass
And I don't completely agree with that, either. If you brag then destroy them, at least you're able to back yourself up, and you earn the right to brag (I still wouldn't, though). If you brag, then get yourself destroyed, then you're just an ass, and a humiliated one at that. However, talk small win big. :thumbup:
Haha, you want great handling? Just get a third gen camaro (82-92)
God that thing handled like a DREAM, mine was an 84, and that year the camaro/firebird was the best handling car in america.
and yea ret, i do agree with you, i just tend to be the humble guy alot. I'm all for go with little show. My dream car is just a nice fresh clean sleeper, so I dont really brag or anything ya kno.
But handing peoples ass's to them regardless is fun

hmmm...
odd thread.
Usually mustangs with exhaust(x pipe and catback) are some of the best sounding cars on the road. They have a great sound...
And people dogging the camaro and firebird... WTF are you thinking? LSx for the win!

I disagree on the sound of the mustangs; I've yet to hear one I thought sounded good. Actually I take that back...I've heard ONE, and he ate me alive from a 35 roll...like 15 cars in about 1/2 mile LOL.
Anywho, Chevy motors are the king of sound and pound. End thread.

How cute, a 302. 350+ or nothing. 509, 511, 454, 396, 402, etc...even the 351 SBF pales in comparison to the chevy 350. Oh wait, who just managed to get 427ci out of a small block? That's right...it was chevy.
i agree....oh ya and for you big block fans, ever slapped a turbo on a 302? Thats what i thought. Edit...and the 302 has a larger bore than a 350 (4.0")

As capable, maybe, does it sound as mean? HAYL NAW! lol
I will say that a "302urbo" does make a mean ass motor. Throw it into a 92 Ranger and see what happens

a 302 is compaired to a 305 and we all know that outcome 302>305
and the 351 is compaired to the 350 and we all know 351>350 lol but i'm a ford fan don't get me wrong a 350 is a good motor after its modded but stock for stock i've never seen a 350 beat a 351

a 302 is a million times > a chevy 305. my 302 in my bronco is faster then my brothers ford truck with a 351 big block until he hits 2nd, but thats because i have stock exhaust (with 2 dam old cats). If i went straight pipes he wouldnt hold a candle.
as for a 351 > a 350.. first you have to specify WHICH 351, and then you have to realize that 350s came in a million different vehicles, so a 350 from a truck, or a 350 from a camaro? etc. But you have to realize the 350 is THE most common engine in the world, and you can make one insanely fast for under 2 g's no problem.
But as stock for stock, I'd be willing to bet that a ls1 350 out of a 99 camaro would beat any version of a 351
