One Coment to the World! If you take everything away from us americans, like all are comapnies and jobs, We wont have any money to buy your products will we? Causeing you to make nothing since the US is your major "money maker" isnt it?

My mom's Vibe has them there. Dealer said it was the 5 and 6th speakers.

well every one has a differnet shifting pateren. I like to rev a little before droping the clutch. Have i ever stalled yes. the worst stall i ever did was when the clutch didnt work and I threw it into 3rd on a road. (horrible grinding noise) but it wasnt my fault the clucth cable snaped. Drive thrus ae horrible to. 99% of my stalls are there.

Im so happy taht the Patroits lost!!!!! Made about the Colts game. But I want the Broncos to go home with a Bowl.

HEY NOW!!! dont go rippin on the metro's!! with a stick and like 400lb fat person in the back i could do some like 25ft burn outs. In real that thing was a pocket rocket! I could get it up in the 5000 RPM range dump the clucth and do some burnouts. one thing dont be afraid to redline. I beat Civis like mad.in country corners just throw it in 2nd and reline it all the way through.

the Camaro is compatible with the 505 HP 7.0L LS7. which in the vette out performs the Dodge Vipper. besides those dodges are packing on the weight. so 25 HP really doesnt do a lot for those heavy sheet metal cars.

WMJ they are voting for this chop already the solstice is the currnet one which im still think about.....

Are you guys on crack really???? A camaro can corner very well. especialy if it rides on airbag suspension. I seen a stock SS camaro wiht the airbags make a turn on a road track at around 98 with out skidding the tires or braking while an older s2000 with obvious turbo skidding tires in the turn and spun into the grass. there probably was so beter drivng skills in play but a Camaro has by far awesome handling. I consider the camaro 4th gen to be a sports coupe. since handling is very good. but a 1st gen goes like hell stops like shift and turns like $h!.

I think i saw josh strolling down jeferson with his Black solstice one day. I reved my 305 at him but i think he didnt notice. (lost in the land of a summer Solstice) being -20 outside but still have the top down. I think i saw Reeferman to since how many people drive a ghetto 85 Riviera. one day I will race him tho since it would be cool a 305 RWD vs. a 307 FWD. We have to make plans tho reef this year man at Battle Axe Drag!! bets any one?

How come always the best people always die young. Not ever does a dictator of a threating nation ever die of body complications. To a man that has always brought inspiration and a deep though on to a post instead of just posting random blaber. So is it true that the good die young! RIP Cheif and my god have Your Favorite Car waiting for you on the race track of heaven! It is hard but you will get over it recently i knew some one that died in september very close to me. Also a freind last march was killed on the job only at 23. I wish you all good luck!!

ha a patrol. I've seen one of those around. Dont know enough about um to give a good opion on one. 68 at least your Maxima issue was cheap and easy. im down like $200 bucks since december buying parts for the Caprice. since it doesnt wasnt to start somtimes. and dont even open the door if its raining just start pushing. lets see. Plugs, Wires, Rotor, Cap, Coil, Igniton Module, oil breather, and a EGR valve or somthing like that i forgot wich one or was it that PCV thing. i hope it works i did start in the rain pretty good yesterday tho.

for BV an 87

I think my Name can answer my opion on these cars!!!!! I hope they come back!!!!!

I agree the IROC-Z is one fine assed sexy sleeper machine! I hope in my future garage to have one next to my Delorean. I love DMC'S!

“Anything we can do to help them do a good job is what we want because we don’t want Chinese cars to come in and start a bad reputation,” Bricklin said. "'Anything that somebody does that says 'Chinese is bad' could hurt us." So Chinese "AUTO COMPANIES" are BAD and are unsafe and un realieble. No offense to the people im not raciest but we cant have this crap coming here even companies like Toyota will feel heat against these cars.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: . thats kinda creepy 68. taking pictures in a car is not safe and a little peverted. I mean i just look not take a picture. "Stop Stareing why dont you take a pic" 68: "ok" (pulls out camera)

these threads are getting way to personal now!!!! has anyone noticed that.

if you had say a caprice, you slide the bench forward and pretty much have a hida-a-bed in the back! Trust me a Metro is super hard to get position espeacly when it has a stick

I was born when the Detroit lions won a super bowl. and not a championship!

I like how they say "colonies" too. Its not our fault you stood in a line holding a drum and wore bright red, now is it?

Thats what they said about the ZO6. Hey GM I think they got the clue now that people dont like plastic. funny that every mag in the states loves the thing. 2 years straight C&D 10 best. MT title: ZO6 sell the Ferrairi. They bash any thing not made in europe have you noticed that yet? But again like they metion you cant beat the price!

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 It took Chevrolet five years camping in the world's most famous race tracks (and a whole lot of investment) to come up with their fastest road car ever, the new Corvette Z06. Named after a rare racing version of the 1963 Stingray, this über 'Vette will be on sale across Europe by the end of the year. It boasts some impressive stats, courtesy of the largest displacement small-block V8 ever produced by Chevrolet: try 3.7 seconds 0-60mph and a top speed of 198mph. On this first and rather exclusive encounter with the Z06 - both on a track in Virginia and on the public roads around it - it soon becomes apparent that this is a more visceral Corvette than previous cars. The larger grille opening makes this a front breather, whereas the regular C6 'Vette takes its intake air from below. Then there are the wider, carbon-fibre front wings, wider quarter panels to house the larger rear wheels, the quartet of trumpet-like machined exhaust outlets and the duck-tail spoiler to further reduce lift. Other than that, it is pretty much the conventional low, long-nosed Corvette shape. Once inside, the good news is that the steering wheel has shrunk 2cm in diameter, but the bad news is the lack of improvement in materials and finish. Considering that in this rarefied market segment, we Europeans will hardly settle for anything poorer than a few soft touch plastics and an excess of hand-stitched leather. Still, a headup display, keyless entry and pushbutton ignition are standard, while a DVD satnav system (the first satnav offered in a Corvette), and seven-speaker Bose hi-fi are options. There's fairly good in-car stowage in the doors and centre console, plus a whopping (for a supercar) 640-litre boot. In fact, by combining this functionality with the relatively discreet sound effects produced by the engine below 3,000rpm, Chevrolet has created a supercar that can almost be used as a daily commuter. Moreover, because economy verges on respectability (again for a supercar, at least), it's the first such extreme fun car to escape the American 'gas guzzler' tax, which adds $6,400 to the cost of owning a Lamborghini Gallardo, for instance. The relatively light clutch pedal makes this a disarmingly simple car to drive too, and the steering is quick and communicative, but never frenetic. On the other hand, the weighty but precise shift action of the Tremec six-speed gearbox needs some getting used to, but to be fair, it is engineered to deal with the massive loads of torque on offer. This is coupled to that Chevy small-block, now expanded to 7011cc and generating 512bhp and 470lb ft of torque - or 108bhp and 67lb ft more than the already very swift standard 'Vette has to offer. The engine is nicely upgraded thanks to a co-development with the Corvette C6R Le Mans racer. That explains the titanium connecting rods and intake valves, and other lightweight components that help it now rev up to 7,000rpm. The acceleration borders on cataclysmic: the Z06 blasts to 100mph in just over seven seconds and approaches the double-ton barrier like no product of the GM empire has ever done before. Keep your foot held down and the engine shows no sign of relenting. The chassis provides an overall balanced feel, progressively releasing grip at either end, depending on how you play with the pedals. The car flows well over uneven asphalt and stays settled over corner bumps. The conventional cross-drilled, ventilated brakes feature vast six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers and are convincing too, with no sign of fade. Ceramic brakes were considered too costly to fit as standard; as is the case with a Porsche 911, but these may be made available in the future (albeit for around £2,000 extra). Defying commonly held perceptions of such large and fast, all-American sports cars, the Z06 combines a degree of precision and refinement to the way it handles. What helps significantly is the fact that at 1,421kg, this is a relatively light car - especially impressive given the size of its engine. The use of aluminium and carbon-fibre structural components in place of the steel of the regular 'Vette, plus a magnesium engine and suspension cradle, all assist weight reduction efforts and give an improved distribution of weight, too. The battery was even shifted back to the boot for this cause. On the race track, it covers distance quickly, while retaining a reasonable margin of safety. The stability control system can be shut off or you can select a 'competition' mode that allows more slip before intervening than the fully active mode. I start the first couple of laps round the 3-and-a-bit mile circuit with all the electronic aids on and then - as the knowledge of both the track and the car rise - turn it off, and then disengage the competition mode. Even the trickiest sections are handled with no major scares. And after a few hot laps the Z06 continues to feel stable and keyed in, all the way through. Did I say 'hot laps'? Well, that's how it feels just after crossing the finish line a dozen times, already imagining headlines announcing a lap record pulverized by a non-professional driver and obviously a wasted talent. But things are put into perspective after I sit next to Johnny O'Connell (Le Mans GT1 class winner with Chevrolet this year and involved in the production development of the Z06) and realise I had been barely doing warm-ish laps before he took to the wheel. This ultimate incarnation of the Corvette provides its driver with the best of several scenarios. It's planted enough to massage the egos of most potential owners and their abilities, yet is comfortable enough to consider driving regularly in town. And there's one further good reason for those with the means to seriously ponder buying one: the £60,000 price tag. Driven back to back with a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Ferrari F430, the Z06 would be every bit as rapid; yet you could buy yourself two of these for the price of either.

the rookie stalled!!! but not bad at all. learn to use the clutch and the brake with one foot. so if you over brake you can push the clutch with your heal and save it from stalling. Thats what I do. yeah i thought you dont have money? Right? Casues you can afford tires I see

Well im using Firefox right now. Just downloaded it today. So far its ok. Not bad.

thats what is was thinking about
