ITS Camaro

[Chip42]

it happens, but usually a letter gets written by a member of the AC/CRB so we have somethign to respond to. the new system is pretty rigid like that.

and yeah, per hp/weight, the mustang does well against real, strong ITS fields and after a very short development time (granted, an intense one) from only 1 shop and it's overweight. one of the secrets is a power band you could eat off of. its vast and flat. yeah, it might not peak at the higher hp/weight in the class, but it can scoot off all the midrange stuff and get to it's top speed faster, meaning more time at high speed, and thus lower lap times. torque is your friend, and it's pretty well linked to displacement though there is by no means a fixed tq/displacement ratio.

206k on the clock, from Georgia, and a dayglo green paint job.

I wonder how many condom wrappers, french fries, gum wrappers, and 9mm brass one will find upon removal of the interior?

That car looks good on paper, and then I look at one and I despair. What a piece of ugly ass American plastic turdmanship.

No, I do not want.

Jeff:

You just need to look at one in the right color done up in racing graphics. On the other hand, split pea green would sure fake out the competition.

The elaphantitis bump on the fenders masquerading as mirror fairing was not, looking back on it, GMs best design decision....

interestingly, it didn't raise any hairs in 1993. In contrast, at it's launch the aztec was roundly bashed. fast forward to 2013 and aztecs don't look all that weird anymore - hell they may have started a lot of the current design trends seen on hyundais, BMW GT/X6/etc..., and toward lighter, car based, higher utility "sport utilities." and the Camaro looks dated.

So what you're saying is that you LIKE the Aztec. Hmmmmmm.....

[Chip42]

as much as I *like* the X6, which is not much. just saying that it's not nearly as ugly today. I still think the rear hatch tent, center console "cooler" and luggage area amenities like inverter AC plug and stereo controls were pretty cool, though.

What little I still remember of the 3.4L v6 is that it started life as a 2.8L v6. Think early Chevy S-10. Then, it was bored to make the "new and Improved" 3.1L v6, then got bored out again to make the "newer and more improved" 3.4L v6. The 3.4L moved over to the Camaros and Firebirds and the S-10's ended up getting a 3.8 for a base engine and a 4.3L for the "big block" Neither of which flowed very much air.

I had a 83 TransAm with t tops that was so flimsy I thought I'd twist it in half trying to go around a corner. Maybe adding a cage would've helped.
