OK, so some folks from GM came to school a few weeks ago for a recruiting talk, and they said that camaro project is dead. They further said that they want to bring it back, but t would be on the GTO platform, which IMO sucks. Well, the drivetrain is nice, but the outside is boooring. So we shall se.

Duh, its not a GM car, its australian with SOME american re-engineering. The GTO frame would be kind of retarded for a Camaro frame... i mean come on. The camaro and firebird were the ones that shared! With a camaro coming back, it'd be a no brainer the firebird would come back... now what in the hell would they use for a firebird frame?

Since I needed a break, I went and checked out a few cars. Nothing special really. Anyway, attached are a few photos that I took tonight.

with cheese
a 58-60...
a 61-63...
a 64-66
and, since I've already got the 83-88s covered, i'll take an 89-95 SC, or a 94-5 V8 with a knocking 4.6L for a 6.0L Vortec swap

My brother used to own a '63 T-Bird until he trashed the transmission one too many times. I also used to know where there were a few 50-something T-Birds stashed which only came out of the garage during the parades though I don't know if the widows are still around and still own the cars.

I've wanted one of these since they came out! My father used to work on them for the local dealer at our home so I got to see a lot of them and help work on them. I never got a ride in one though. Next on my list would be a bright yellow `57 Nomad, Pro-streeted with a blown big-block under the hood or a `68-`72 Chevelle.

Here's the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve. It may look good in the front, but the back is ugly. The engine makes up for that though.
Specs:
top speed of 250mph
7 speed transmission
850 horsepower
6.0 liters
0-60 in 2.9 seconds
4 turbo chargers

Cadillac Sixteen
Specs:
$250,000 price tag
1,000 horsepower
13.6 liters
16 cylinders!.... And the engine still has less parts than any V-8 made!
-And to save fuel, the car has technology that allows the engine to run on 4, 6, or all 16 cylinders.

not possible, unless it's a two stroke. maybe fewer parts than any OHC V8.

And yeah, it does have fewer parts than any DOHC V8.
