Sorry! I guess I don't like 4 doors! Just not fun to drag race in a 4 door, lol

I'll shut myself off and no more dirty comments on new 4 door Chryslers Grin

Speaking of doors, at 5.2 seconds 0-60 it will blow most everyone's doors off.

Martin, I'd take a Hemi Chrysler 300 in a heartbeat. I love my Ford Ranger but the seats sure start to get hard at around 120 miles on a trip.

With the performance of that Chrysler 300 I can't help but wonder how comfortable those seats are on a trip. Being a luxury-class car I'll bet they're pretty cushy.

The Chrysler 300 looks like the kind of car I could be happy with. Make mine that light metallic green please.

I like the 300C to be honest with you, but I'll prefer a Mustang Cobra (2005) if they ever do it.

Martin, OH Yeah! Will it have some tricky hood scoops?

You hafta have hood scoops if it's a genuine go-fast Mustang. But make sure it has comfortable seats for long trips.

Wait....what about a Mustang with a Chrysler Hemi DOHC V8?

Nah, a little mustang with that kind of engine will fly so high you'll be..

riding the clouds with a little harp before you know it. I raced my own V6 3.0 VTEC Honda Accord the other day with friends 530i BMW. The Accord is suppose to be faster: Honda Accord V6=240 BHP vs. BMW 530i Inline 6 170BHP. My friend beat me driving his own car first time, then he said I didn't know how to drive the Accord, so I asked him to switch cars and I was able to beat my own car with his BMW. Would you know why? I know why. I let you figure it out, lol

Martin, I think '69 Shelby GT-500 KR type hood scoops would make the new Mustang look fantastic.

Yes, we'll have to see one. I like scoops to be functional like on the 1970 Mach 1 CJ428, not just a metal piece over the hood. I like to think it has its functions, not just looks. You can see I am a performance hungry guy, lol.

Sure, they have to work. I wish I could draw what I'd like to see.

Wonder if we have any talented artists out there who could draw the new Mustang with the '68 Shelby GT-500KR type scoops?

Short lived...

If a recent Forbes article is even half right, they had better come up with something other than big cars with big engines or in three to five years they'll be over the cliff.

Those that fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Events are occuring that are laying the ground work for a repeat performance of the nasty part of the Seventies.
