    How much to paint entire car?

    paint is 75% prep and 25% paint and clear coat application from what I have seen. Some Macco's are good, it depends on the approach taken by the upper management of that certain location.

    Well got the car home

    I love the way it drives, it is very very tight for a car it's age. Dont use any oil, and has a big fun factor. I do have to say despite the power difference of my old LT1 the car is alot more fun to drive. The feel, the ride, the power all feel right at home

    the toyota corvette

    The union protects crappy workers and does hardly anything for hard workers this day and age. Working conditions, wages, and fairness are totally different now plus there are much better labor laws and people in place to make sure workers are taken care of now. I am not against unions either I...

    Quarter Mile Estimate?

    You can get a very good estimate what you should run from your trap speed so even if you dont get the best 60 you will have alot better idea than us guessing if you had trap speeds.

    Pics of my 5oh

    Just the front? Car looks good but I think it would look more adult with black wireloom over the blue, the blue just screams pep boys/autozone ricer isle. Not saying anything negative just my opinion.

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    I am not comparing anything 100+mph traps and mid to low 13's is damn quick for any street driven car

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    Dont hate on me but I guess where I have messed around with a few Honda's I know that power is not everything. Power curve, tq curve, weight, are among the things I care about. That is why when I get my SSP up here from Utah tomarrow it is going on a diet

    Does Ford think we're Stupid? 315 horse? what the hell!

    But the GT still runs deep into the 13's and traps at or above 100mph. What is so sad about that?

    2010 camaro and 2010 stang. Lets talk V6s.

    You cant look at it like that, both have outdone each other from time to time. Look back at the DZ302's in the old Z28's, they are said to have 375 to 380hp stock(rated 275 at the crank) and you could attain nearly 500 flywheel hp with over the counter GM parts. I am just happy GM and Ford are...

    The GT500 is really cheap for the power you get, last time I looked into it you can haggle a dealer down to around $39,xxx

    What would happen if there was no more Ford?

    I have seen in the area of 22 million jobs will be lost if the big 3 go under, that will be a sad sad day for car lovers, the economy, and the American lifestyle as a whole.

    2010 camaro and 2010 stang. Lets talk V6s.

    No not turbo, the 3.6 is direct injection and I know is sounds nasty at high rpm's.
