I wont deny it. Where I come from, if you were a cool guy, you had a IROC, GTA, or Grand National. And most important, you had T-Tops, wore a white dago Tee, and your hair was gelled, and it was assumed you sold dope for a living. If you had a Mustang LX, you were a broke hillbilly.

Looks like the idea is already catching on...I hear this boat can now run through 6 footers with ease, and evidently looks 10 feet longer at the dock. Crockett and Tubbs approve...

And your Camaro or TA wasn't worth a crap if it didn't have the 5.7 either.

Monte's were cool, as were the 442 Olds, but they just never had a engine that had any Balls from the factory. Maybe if they would have carried that body after 87 they woulda offered the 5.7 TPI.
A buddy of mine just a few months ago picked up a 92 Mustang LX. It has 2k original miles. Literally 2k. Looks and smells showroom. First thing he said when he got it, "what a dog"!! They seemed much faster back then. But I suppose today, when a family suv does 0-60 in 5 seconds, it would feel like a dog.

YES! I remember my buddy bought a 91 Camaro RS. It looked cool, as it was white. But it had a 305 TBI, not even TPI. It was a TURD!

I have to hear about the old tanks in this neck of the woods too. "ya but I can do 60 in anything" when honestly so can I, cause 60 is 3200 rpm
