AWESOME.

I hope he enjoys the long tube headers because they were a b*tch to install!


This is wear the LS series engines excel. Longtubes on the Camaro were quite easy.

The new Mustangs have my interest, but the backseat is smaller than my RX-8's was.

With the fuel economy improvements you can afford to take two trips though!

What is the backseat for? I ride in the front since it's easier to shift, steer and brake from there.

Well, in high school in the 1970s...

Enjoying the drive with the kids, of course. It's now the next generation of gear-heads is enticed into the fold.

Remember that the RX-8 is a 4-door sedan.

The backseat of any 2005+ Mustang is like the back seat of a 911. Suitable for children or luggage.

Isn't the RX-8 3 doors?

Nope, you're thinking of the the Veloster. RX-8 has tiny doors on both sides.

So it does, I thought it had just one tiny door on the passenger side for some reason.

So what class will Anders be running in? We've lost Chad and Austin in CAM since they've sold their respective Camaros. I think right now it's George, Stephen and myself. Or is he going to play in FS w/ Art?
