Thanks for the responses guys. I guess this is just where we’re at if we want a cool car. I can only imagine what my 20 year old self would be paying for insurance for this now :confused0068:

Yet here I am. Also an enthusiast. I will absolutely knock something that deserves to be knocked. But you also need to learn to read and comprehend what I say. Not just what you want to hear. Or what...

Kind of. The front two cylinders are still over the axle line. I mean moving the engine back another 2-4 inches. With a new chassis they could easily fit it under the cowl. Mercedes did it with a 12...

No you design a completely new platform but keep it front (but mid) engine. Front-mid engine like a Mercedes SLS AMG. Move the engine behind the front axle, gearbox in the rear, still gives you the...

It’s a great performance car. They made a great car. I’ll never question that. It is a fantastic imitation of a Ferrari for 1/3rd the price. Put them next to each other and you see where they wanted...

We will never agree on the C8 either. GM didn’t need to make a $100,000 Ferrari impersonator. They needed to make a Corvette. As a Corvette family (my Mom owns a 2016 Stingray w/Z51 package) and my...

Firebird/TA always looked much more aggressive and meaner than Camaro. Grand Prix W-Bodies looked far more performance oriented than any other W-Body cousin. The G8 looked more 3-Series-esque than...

The Monaro GTO looked too much like a Chevy Malibu.

It’s low because the suspension is in the lowest position (airbags fully deflated). It has a fully adjustable air bag suspension. The factory setup was completely gutted.

That was one of the reasons I liked him. If I ever wanted to get a classic car restored he would absolutely be the first person I’d call, just for that reason alone.

Yes I really liked FantomWorks too. I think he had a limit as to how new of a car he’d work on IIRC. With maybe a few exceptions I think he preferred to stay far away from anything with a computer lol
