ON A DARK DESERT HIGHWAYCOOL WIND IN MY HAIRWARM SMELL OF COLITASRISING UP THROUGH THE AIR
Up ahead in the distanceI saw a shimering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop 4 the nite
>>28681021nice malaise scrap heap with a 105 hp V8
>>28681026yet they sold so fucking many of the things, they were like 30% of every high school parking lot back then
>>28681026>'77 Z/28 185hp >'77 Accord 68hpYeah, the Camaro was so bad for the time.
>>28681083you know manufacturers can just make up hp #s, right?
>>28681026I’ll bet it turns more heads than whatever econobox you drive
How did 145 HP impress boomers? The "high-performance" versions made a whopping 30 HP more.
>>28681083meanwhile, in the civilised world, pic rel was generating just as much horsepower from an engine half the size of whatever paperweight was struggling to move that hunk of pigiron about
>>28681208Switzerland banned motor racing because of something that happened countries away and never lifted it. lollmao even
>>28681208that's nice but try giving me a US spec one with smog hardware and hefty 5 mph bumpers
>>28681208did you ask Grok to generate you a BMW
>>28681021this shit is fucking ugly
And here we go. US spec 528i.
>>28681236THERE'S BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, MR. CARTER
>>28681192Imagine being able to make up any power number you can, and you give your car only 68hp
>>28681266it depends on whether the manufacturer wanted to sell performance or economy/cheap insurance rates
>>28681192>he actually believes thisGross hp was standardized as far back as 1917, then testing procedure laws changed in 1972 to SAE J245 give a more accurate measurement with accessories installed. They've since changed again in '04 to SAE J1349. >>28681208>'77 Camaro Z28 >185hp for $5,170>yuppie fagmobile>175hp for $12,495
>>28681285Have you tried making money? Matbe getting a job?
at least they still had big engines on these unlike the sorry Turd Gen and its 305
>>28681290>less power>way less torque>no 3.73 posi rear end>no close ratio 4spdPic related. >>28681297Turd gens got the 350 eventually too, but they were auto only.
>>28681311>Turd gens got the 350 eventually too, but they were auto onlybecause they don't want to steal Corvette sales
>>28681315That and the T5 used in the 305 powered F-bodies couldn't handle the extra torque of the 350. They could barely stand up to Ford 302s.
>>28681021Second gen Camaro mentioned!
>>28681031Being the least shitty option available doesn't mean it's good.

WHENEVER IT FEELS RIGHT
my friend wants to buy an sn95 but he is a complete wrenchlet. How bad of a decision is it? Should he get the s197? He also wants a manual but drove his first manual ever a week ago in a friend's rf miata. His only other cars he drove was an old acura tl mom car and a tesla model 3. Hes going to kill himself isnt he?
AND HERE YOU STAND NO TALLER THAN THE GRASS SEESAND SHOULD YOU REALLY CHASE SO HARDTHE TRUTH OF SPORT PLAYS RINGS AROUND YOU
>>28682890They're pretty reliable, not that hard to work on unless you get a 4V and every repair has been well documented over the years.
