OMG' date=' I know. I had an 09 SS. I know how to drive, but no way I could effectively plant a take off. That thing would lose traction when floored from a rolling 25 MPH with new tires on it. Car was mildly fun, and sounded nice, but horrendous traction and torque steer.[/quote']If Chevy would have expanded on that platform with an AWD system like the SHO's, now that would be something I could enjoy.

rick...what happened on the vette...did you hit the truck or did he hit you?

 

 

He hit me. I was in the second lane from the curb, there was a semi in the curb lane that I thought was turning left (had left signal on), but apparently he decided to turn right to go into the gravel yard on the totally opposite side of the road and pushed me across 3 lanes and up the curb.

Any pics of the Cougar, sound like a beaut, would have loved to run it with my mopars. the only ford guy in my area had a 390 fairlane & it was easy pickings. My wife is scared to death of me doing something like that. so anything i do to the SHO is fine by her so far.

Rick, the pictures of the 'Vette really hurt, I hate to see any car crumbled up! But were you hurt in the accident? My run in with a tri-axle dump truck left me with my right knee torn open, that you could see the knee joint and took about 200 stitches to close the wound, along with several in my right index finger. So hopefully you weren't hurt in your accident.

I'm assuming we are starting from first cars so..

 

87 Camaro, bought it with a blown motor, replaced it, sold it for a v8 car

85 Camaro IROC, bought it for $500 and dad and I built a 383 for it, ended up selling it before I finished it

96 Camaro, nothing special

01 Formula, added the WS6 package and a TNT 150 shot, fun car for a guy in high school

94 Tbird 4.6, nothing fancy, moved out on my own and had to ditch the car payment for rent

94 Mustang GT, intake and exhaust stuff, built a 393 for it but never got it in the car

01 Bullitt, all stock, couldn't bring myself to change this one

94 Mustang GT, the same exact car, bought it back and painted it Redfire with Laser Red ghost flames

88 Mustang GT T top, bought it as a roller to flip it

04 Mustang GT, intake/exhaust/clutch/gears. Built a 3V 5.4 for it but got the GTO before it went in.

05 GTO, forged shortblock/heads/cam, made 468 RWHP, then it was forged shortblock/heads/cam/blower/clutch/suspension/IRS/etc made well over 700 RWHP, probably would have made 800 had I strapped it down again.

 

Oh, there was an 08 Focus (got totaled) and an 11 Focus SES (still have) and a 03 325i (still have) also. I'm going to be trading the GTO in here in about a month, not sure on what but the SHO has my interest peaked right now.
