thank you Adam. Without the old cars. These pieces of S**T new cars, that are breaking down left and freaking right wouldn't be hear. Frankly, Im sick of new cars. They are garbage. IF you think your cars will outlast out classics GET A LIFE. They have been around 40 years, and they will be around another 40 years. I doubt there will any 80-2000, vehicles around in another 40 years. They will be sitting in junkyards. AS far as power??? Our cars are lighter, and can make power more easily. We dont have all of these smog control junk, these new cars have. A classic 289 mustang can beat a newer mustang, without TONS of work done to it. A stock hipo would run up againest a 05-06 GT just because of the wieght savings.

I absolutely love the classics, but you are misinformed. Ford is the only U.S. automaker these days playing with superchargers to get 400+ ponies. Dodge and GM are putting out 400hp+ on n/a powerplants.

haha, my Nova used to be a 230 Straight 6cyl with 2 speed powerglide and a 3.08 rearend. It ran a 18.2@76mph in the 1/4 and needed a mile straight away to get up to 110mph the only thing slicks mustang is passing in a race is a VW bus

RE: mustangs top end
they are part hemi's... not completely the whole thing... they have the same head design.... but i cant remember what they changed... its basically a mix between the magnum motor and hemi. a very nice motor though, i havent had a problem with mine yet. hemi's love up top like the ls cars too....

You almost make that sound like the Hemi is some sort of power adder. Are you familiar with exactly what "HEMI" is?

what sidewayz is trying to get across is saying "dodge uses hemi" is no different then saying Chevy uses "LS2" the term Hemi doesn't mean anything and the new version has no advantage over any conventional LSX cylinder head. Just because the spark plug is in the middle of the head doesn't make it any more special or superior.

HAHa, im an ignorant *****!!!!! Sure, I dont usually bust on peoples cars, but i come here, and see people treating classics like dirt, i am bound to talk about the junk you think are cool. Eye for an Eye. Oh and BTW i wouldn't start name calling on here, like little kids. chill out. Yes we all agree that a old 6 banger mustang wont touch any new car, but you guys need to understand, most slightly modified V8's well give most new cars a run for there money. The new GT mustangs, really are not all that badassed. 300 HP. Whoopie do. They also weigh more then any of the early year stangs. If you want to talk about fast cars, Talk a A Z06 vette, or a Viper, or even a damn GTO will beat one.
