The Camaro's....Hands Down. Im an old school muscle car guy.I never understood how we went from the roar of a big block to the whine of a honda,or toy and subaru,etc.

I had this kid who used to work for me that used to build and race all wheel drive eagle talons.Biggest pieces of shit in my opinion,but they would run 10seconds.Thats for as long as they lasted anyway.He was consatantly blowing up the motor or trans or rear.LMAO.Anyway,he would brag about how this turd would beat a lot of the older muscle cars at the track.I would laugh and say "Who gives a shit Dude ,it's still an eagle talon"

I asked him if you pulled up in that piece of shit and I pulled up in my 72 Nova big block who do you think would draw the largest croud?

lol@the eagle talon. i used to have an 11 sec fox body, and i street raced it for years. the worst ass whooping i EVER got in all that time was a talon. same as limo, shit made me look like i was sitting still. they are pieces of shit, but spending alot of time street racing u learn its all about bang for the buck. we all want the chevelle or whatever to bring the crowd out, but in the big scheme of things, its who can go the fastest for the least amount of money

Im with ya them being able to be fast,and like I said,his was.But as far as the best bang for the buck,these things go through motors and trans like shit thru a goose.Let me tell you,its no fun replacing the trans on this thing.LOL.He would say the same thing about not having the money for a "REAL" car and I would tell to him stop throwing his money away on motor's trans & rears and save ot for that "REAL" car.I told him we'll get one and build it up ourselves.But he was having too much fun racing around the streets with 16yr olds in those things.LMFAO.

what you think?

[chevy355s10 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close chevy355s10]

whats so bang for the buck about these lil shit box's? i dont get it. gotta be 7-10K in the engine alone in most of those damned things,before they can even run fast. the best bang for the buck will always be a v8. more HP/per $ no matter how you split it and they last longer at the higher power levels than the 4-cyl engines. i mean,i have all of 4K in my truck for everything..and that includes buying the truck.i out run turbo civic's,turbo eclipse's,i have out run a couple of evo's,and 2 turbo supra's. thast just the rice.
well, the supra will be excluded from the rice section...cuz i kinda like them. but still.
now dont get me wrong,they made ok power....but they would always get mad when i told them the small amount i put in my build vs their 15K in their crap...and they still got beat.
