1LtCAP 4,262 Posted November 29, 2017 while everyone's all googly-eyed over the dodge demon running 10.8's. the fact is it's a limited production stupidly expensive car. then there's the 2018 mustang gt. running 12.02@117mph bone stock. a regular production car in the realm of affordability for most people. https://www.svtperformance.com/2017/11/16/lmr-2018-mustang-gt-runs-12-02-117-mph/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted November 29, 2017 Running a 12 with a standard front passenger seat sounds good to me, I miss my "68 fastback though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,139 Posted November 29, 2017 Check out the Chevy SS. If I had more money than I knew what to do with I would like to get one. GM / Holden stopped protection this year. Only produced from 2014 -2017. Not as rare as the Pontiac G8 (another Holden import) but rare enough that I have yet to see one on the road. I also like the style and design of the new Stangs.

There's even a button inside the car to make your exhaust a little quieter when you're trying not to wake the babies Edit: I forgot, I think @Pizza Bob has one, IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted November 29, 2017 Yes I do and I love it. Actually the SS is rarer than the G8. There were actually fewer SS's made, total - over the four years they were produced - than the production of G8's for just the 2008 model year (appx 12K 2008 G8's vs, 11K 2014,15,16,17 SS's) and I'm not sure of the 2009 G8 production numbers. I had a 2009 G8 GT that I traded for my 2017 SS. The G8 GT was only available with an automatic, you had to go for the G8 GXP to get a manual. My SS is a manual 6-speed (Tremec 6060) and I love this car. While the G8 was available in three trim levels (G8 base V6 & G8 GT for 2008 / G8 GXP added for 2009) The SS only came one way - completely loaded. Only options were the choice of transmission, a sunroof and a full-size spare. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,262 Posted November 29, 2017 a customer of mine has an ss. he bought all the holden badging and had it installed. he ordered a holden airbag...which he said was hell to get shipped......and installed it. he loves the car. i like the sounds of them, but think they're kinda plain looking. 'least they don't look like big fat nissans like the stangs do though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
