Sorry Mike, no I didn't know what it was and NO I don't like it. I am tired of car makers making all the cars look like a bubble, or a potato in the name of saving a 1/2mpg with better aerodynamics. I am ready for a car maker to say screw aerodynamics, I am building a big ol sheet metal machine!

^ Blame the government, they keep upping fuel economy requirements for companies and they have no choice but to do work to meet it. I can't believe the new ZL1 will have a 10 speed auto, getting into semi territory with the number of gears.

Wow! Kyle Larson just hit the wall hard. Good thing it was a soft wall.

It has surprisingly been an exciting race so far.

Hi `Tommy, don't be sorry, but be thankful that we have so many choices out there to choose from. I kinda like it, but I like the new Camaro's a lot more...

It would really be sad if we only had one car to choose from.., but I'd take a new Model T Ford (LOL) with a choice of one color (BLACK)

Thanks for your post. Wish you a Super Sunday with family

You are 100% right. It has killed automotive creativity. If you line up the top 10 sedans, knock off all the badges, tail lights, and grills, they all look the same. The same template would fit over them all.

Now you are talking. The Camaro, Mustang, Challenger platform is the best thing coming out of detroit except for overpriced pick up trucks and the Corvette, Viper...

Unhappy >Politics :(



Hi Tommy, I love the above Monte.
That would really be sweet to own and drive.
* We are not suppose to post about Politics' or Religion
on the forum & I understand, but I sure could
post about how I feel about some of the clowns that are
trying to lead our country..

I'll save that for other forums, but it's very sad to me.

OK, back to cars & the race
