It's mostly true. The Grand National is one of those exceptions.

Go drive a brand spankin' new Malibu, Impala or any other Chevrolet or GM car under $30,000 and tell me if it feels like 2003 technology to j00.

No d00d I know THEY suck

To me, domestic=F-Body, Mustang, ya know the muscle cars. **** the Impala. The Impala died after the last SS came out. I dont consider 3/4 of Chevys line-up as proper cars.


OK, sure the F-Bodys and Fox Bodies are old, but they arent about technology. Theyre about fun. Like purging your Nitrous through th WS6 intake, your ripping off a burnout in your new S/C'd Cobra. If you want technology, odds are youre not a muscle car buyer.

Good points, but I can't drive a car if it squeaks and rattles like no tomorrow. Plus the Camaro and Firebird have ugly two-spoke steering wheels which seem to become a norm at GM. :ghey:

Meh, they can be replaced.

Dude, go drive a WS6 Trans Am. OK, its got less technology than a Soviet Jack in the Box, but the combo of LS1(LS6 in some models :naughty: :rick and the pimpness of the T-Tops or Convertable is just too fun.

Ah Hell, that sounds lame. Find a GN in your area for sale, say you wanna buy it, and test it out! Thats the way!

it's not just the squeaks, rattles and ugliness...it's the overall drivability of the car. Horrible seating positions, bad steering feel, terrible shifters, floaty "brick on wheels" feeling. :ugh:

That can be changed with tires and minor suspension components.

I have a vid somewhere of a Firebird ragtop(with less structural rigidity than normal) making a mockery of Civics, FDs, Supras, porsche blah blah blah on a ROAD COURSE!!


The Trans Am I rode in had a B&M Drag shifter(I think, cuz it was a great shifter) and some suspension stuff. It was sharp.
