Leave the mustang, very different from chevys and pontaics.
96 is too old; ss& firebird in the pics are damn powerful that too if you drive a new one unfortunately not made anymore. but no traction even for corvettes till 2002 so u have a beast to unlease in the wild.. had spun several times with out a scratch on my body,all wheels destroyed and only the chassis was sittin on the ramp like a formula car with no wheels , why ??hit the intersection by spinning 180 at 60 kmph / hr in rain, that was fun real fun in rain, I still luv it.
livin dangeriously. next was when accelerating from signal spun 360 twice with no scratch beleive me it came from lane 1 to lane3 in same direction and was controllable. next was on high way spun 360 once and nothin happened. there was no traffic in midnight so saved or else i wouldnt be talkin to you.

So what you are sayng is that you need to improve on your driving techniques :)

BTW, the firebird in the pic runs on the same chassis as the '96 Z28 I drove. There is a reason why GM stopped making them!

hey you aiming to drive in degrees only or you stay on the road too ;)
once too many for my comfort vulken

nau not with 100 bhps, they are underpowered, talkin abt controlling 300 horses, not my fault in 3 cases, I still have accident reports that say no fault with driver!!thats why didnt loose my license clap:
yes firebird and pontaic made by gm in canada(not made in us for some pollution blahh......)

yes its dangerous when you r hurt or else thrill that kills!!!!!!!I still have my last bill for my camaro which had all suspensions changed and all doors changes. drive train was safe :p thats when I upgraded my wheels to 325 at rear and 275 in front with original chevy alloys of 9" .then the beast was stickin to the ground like a f1 car but bit heavy

Its Japanese anyday for me

sorry have to say firebird and camaro on same platform made by same company gm but rivals in market !!!!! lol: no firebird or camaro was made on american soil all in canada, so there is a antifreeze solution mixed in to every liquids of car, also the canada version has a heater for all liquids.

Some of the Americans are sheer class - Mustangs, Vettes, Vipers, Thunderbirds etc. But if I was going to get into a race, I'd rather be in a Skyline...

Used to drive a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo in NZ and smoked lots of Americans, except for the Ford GT. Now that was a beast. Was owned by this kiwi uncle who had a performance garage and was tuned to 700hp. Couldn't even keep up with him!

Corvettes
Firebirds
sigh.........would love to stand up for them

but still prefer the japs over the americans and the Europeans

cheers

Anyday Japaneese...Supra's, Subaru's, Evo's, Skyline's.....way to go Jap's!!!

JAPS!!!!

anyday.....!

Japanese...........cuz they are magicians when they come to cars..........Americans are just thick............

Electricals and sheer reliability - Honda and Toyota .......... definitely. Nissan may be... I will not say this about Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Subaru.

Affordable Raw Power (including half that is wasted), options to increase performance, and driving comfort.......... american cars for sure. I have had a Mustang for 4 years, hundreds of hp for $20K is simply awesome. Also, Checkout the Pontiac GTO, and the new Corvette. A similar Jap or european car would cost 4 times as much.

Well,this ones tough.But in all due respect for the Japanese technology i would prefer a Jap over an American.I hardly like the cars what Americans make.They just dunt so it for me.

even though ive loved japanese cars so much...i'd love to buy a GTO or even a Vette someday....just for the pure muscle...the new Mustangs actually handle preety good too..so iono, its a hard choice these days.
