#20 Sold out and went "retro". They only really look good with ground fx.

What's with that retro garbage, anyway? They have to throw in a few modern stlying cues to keep it "fresh" and they wind up messing the whole thing up, then they throw some humiliating low output "high tech" engine in. I'm mostly thinking of the new T-bird here, but I guess the same argument could be applied to a lot of retro cars (PT Cruiser, etc.).

Just sells. Bottom line. They only very rarely stay anywhere near true to the original (GT40) and when they do, they cost an arm and a leg. Like the PT for example- that car is so poorly engineered (no interior room, no cargo space, 150hp engine, no room in the engine compartment) if it wasn't "retro", they wouldn't have sold ANY of 'em.

At least when they went mildly "retro" on the T/A with the Ram Air hood, they were just adding a simple addition to an already-bad-ass ride.

I'm mostly embarrassed by the new T-bird. Its styling is too bland because they had to make the design "sleeker" than the original, and its OHC V8 displaces a whopping 3.9L, 100cc more than my V6.

CORBA? I'm not familiar with that model. The Ford answer to the Handcode, perhaps?

The Camaro weighed a little more, but the T/A looked a hell of a lot better. Take your pick.

#27, Yes, it had a 428CJ left over from the 60's, a C4 transmission, and leather seats from a Lincoln :-)

#25 Always had more what??! MORE WHAT??!! You done went and lost your fuckin' mind. You show me the '67 Camaro that could hang with a '67 Firbird, and I'll show you a car that don't exist. (Oh, wait, the 350 model could hand with the Firebird Sprint 6). And it ain't got any better since. Shit, Firebird had a turbo 6 in '89 that was roastin' 350 Camaros. Do a little research 'fore you go and make yourself look like an ass.

Besides, spanky, ever since GM went chickenshit.....er, umm... corperate, the engines have been identical, anyway.

#31, On 4th gens he's right, an SS does have a slight edge over the T/A Ram Air. Very slight. But yeah, the rest of the gens the T/A has it beat.

#33, Wow, I think that may be the first time anyone's been called "spanky" on here.

#36, The 305 trubo T/A only suffered from turbo lag that cut it's 1/4mile a bit, in all other areas, it was a fine car, and the 3rd gen Turbos, the ones w/ the Buick engines, those were kick ass

#35, I would say Turbo 400 (what a weirdo tranny) but it's not from the right company.

#34 If that's the case, it's all exhaust and it was an intentional "image" thing. GM has favored Chevy for years. But the engines are the same.
