Looks like you won't even fit in that car :) You'll need to always remove the cloth top and drive around with one of those leather cap and goggles thing.

Now it's a human powered car. Like Fred Flintstone's. :lol:
Get's great gas mileage that way!

Ehh...I prefer to stay on four wheels. So what's been done to the Camaro? Besides the fuel-pressure gauge. :P


Sorry for thread-jacking, Curt...but it's all car-related, so it's ok, right? :)

Well, besides all the bolt-on like hooker long tube headers, 3600 stall Torque Converter (10 miles per gallon on the city anyone? :oops: ).... I have a little nasty cam and some 1.6 rr.

Some people when they hear my car complement me (the ones that know), but most people think my car it's on its last leg! pra-pra-pra...pra-pra-pra...pra-pra-pra...pra-pra-pra... :lol: (I can't blame them)

I was building a real nice engine for it (lt-1 4 bolt main, fully ported heads and matching intake, Supercharger with a 2 core intercooler..... However, one day I got the permission from my wife to get a bike, so I put everything in a box and sold it! Couldn't be more happy!! :D performance parts are a money pit :shock:

I rather stock from now on :wink:

Oh, I think you're crazy to trade that for a having a bike. I've been 'in the process of' building a blown 428CJ for the last couple of years...hard to gather all the money in one place at one time for that though, so it goes bit by bit. Before that I had a little 302 I built and put in my '91 Mustang...that was alot of fun - used a Comp 280H, and from the sound, alot of people thought that little thing was a big block. :lol: But it would run about 105 in the quarter, which isn't bad for a small block in a heavy drop-top, so...I was happy. Eventually the block broke though, and it's been out of commission since...

Man, thinking about all this now...I can't wait for it to be summer.

During the weekend I take my toys for a ride.... (like today, early in the morning to avoid traffic)
The bike gets a 40 mile ride (a combination of Dolphin Expressway, to the Palmetto expressway, to I95 south, back to the Dolphin Expressway)

The camaro gets a 1.4 mile ride. To my office and back :lol:

You probably can tell which one is my favorite!
The camaro will get more action once the gas prices go down Image

Sure I love it!!

Btw Leonardo what do you pay for one liter of gas? I pay about 1,46 euro for one liter.
