Musclecarjohn,
No problem with you not liking the car, I'm not even talking about that. Its more about realizing the truth. In the '60s Camaros were built by Canadians. Even to this day Camaros are built by Canadians. Chevrolet (an American Company) don't even let their own peope build the new Camaro. how do you feel about that? How is that then and now is now? Its still the same. I believe Ford Fiestas are made by Mexicans. Nothing has changed, the auto industry will build the car where it is cost effective for them, or if politics play a role. They aren't as patriotic as a brand as you would like to think. I'm 100% certain you car has parts from Taiwan and China. Whether it be a fender, rear mirror, radio deck, etc. At the end of the day its all plastic and metal from the same source.

I realize it's your right to do what you want...just as it's mine to tell you how I feel.I also realize hotrodding has always been about engine swaps and personalizing vehicles...as it has since the dawn of time.I can appreciate the car for everything that was done and the manhours spent to achieve the end-result.
You completely lost me on the motor choice and that boy-racer exhaust system...
I am glad I'm not alone in expressing my dislike for this abomination.
Sure,maybe your 1000hp dyno-queen will probably beat my 554hp solid-roller 11:1 racefuel-fed stroker motor eventually...but let's fire them both up and see which one sounds and feels like a real classic American Musclecar.  I'm guessing it sounds like crap... |
