handlings cool and all but i prefer sheer power. just my opinion. id much rather go 1/4 mile in 9 secs than handle a corner better. like i said JMO

i dont have a problem with either, but im beggining to like imports alot more recently, but nothing beats the sound of american V8....woooshing sounds come close though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i hate vipers with a passion.

I guess they cant handle either. I sure would like to know what your definition of handling is? I am guessing its only something you have heard about on the internet.

I think you should just show up at a track for once in your life and see what really handles and what doesnt.

As far as Top Gear is concerned, they also didnt like the new Z06, so their word isnt much, but I do agree the new GT500 is an overweight pig.

Did i say that vipers couldn't handle? No, i certainly did not. I think they're overrated though, and i'd rather not die of heatstroke while driving one. The Viper is a blunt instrument. Thats just how it is.

Actually topgear did like the new z06 quite a bit.... on the track, where it belongs. Whats wrong with that? Using a car for its intended purpose? And not pretending. The z06 is a fantastic car. But am i going to pretend its a luxury sports coupe? Of course not.

And i can head to heartland park any time i please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

american V8 + whooshing sound = FTW

First of all, dont get into 4 cylinder cars when were talking about a power thread. lol

I have nothing at all against old muscle cars, but whomever started this thread talking about the newer F-bodys has no idea. Line a newer 98' Fbody Transam all stock up against a all stock Chevelle. The chevelle will not stand a chance. Dont get me wrong. Old muscle cars can be built to hell of drag cars. I've owned a few. But to say a F-body cant handle much is insane. I've got a buddy that has a 600 hp z28 on a stock 10 bolt rear end with 4.10 gears. :0

ever heard of sr20det's, or 4g63's... who was talking about 4 cylinders anyway???

f-bodies are 93-02, old chevelles are NOT fbodies...

f-bodies are 93-02, old chevelles are NOT fbodies...

f-bodies date back to 67.

yep you got me on that one... didn't know that, but still I think most people on this thread knew we were talking about 93-02 camaro/firebird models, and I'm not positive, but I don't think the chevelle was a f-body.

So your argument is that because a newer stock f body can out preform a car from the 70's, it therefore must be a great handling car. Well i would hope after 30-40 years they could make some improvements. The sad thing is, the technology is about the same.

And please explain to me what your friends stock rear has to do with handling.

You must be related to Brian, somebody should tell your parents to use a condom next time. The kids keep coming out retarded.
