I don't know anything about cars, but does that car bear any resemblance to a Dodge Demon?

I'm not a car nut by any means, but that looks like it would be a fun car to drive. Maybe I should wait till my mid-life crisis.

This looked cool too

I don't have any links, but GM has a new version of the Camaro at the car show, very butch looking, and suped up for the streets. One more thing for the car-buffs to drool over.

I wanna Goat. Actually, I want the '67 Goat they redid on "Overhauling" last night.
But I'd settle for a new Goat (and an unlimited, already paid for gas card!)

THAT's a concept car?

It sure looks like a reworked (only slightly) Barracuda from the 1970s.

Wow! I need one of those....

My favorite car is the Pontiac Trans Am (nice pics here)

And I'm planning, if I don't have any unexpected expenses, to buy a '70-'74 Chevy by the end of the year. More precisely an Argentinian Chevy (looks very close to a '70 Chevy Nova).

My first car was a '72 Chevelle Malibu...ah, I miss her still!

I hear the new Camaro will have the same engine as the 'Vette. That puppy should haul!

I'm still waiting for someone to re-release the Gremlin. My college roomie had one - It's so ugly, it's cool!

whatever you do, do NOT get a '74 Nova unless the engine has totally been rebuilt in it. I had a '74 Nova, auto, air, 350 V8. It sucked - it had very little horsepower, and it got horrible gas milage. The paint job was also bad - it was brown with gold metallic fleck, and by 1979 (when my parents sold it) I had already had to take rubbing compound to it twice, and re-paste wax it afterwards - the finish kept oxidizing to a white powder. I also had to drive all winter with 2 strategically placed bags of Sakrete over the rear tires, I had chains for it, and I STILL managed to ditch it once on black ice.
In other words, I hated that car!

Now - the 1966 Nova station wagon I first learned to drive on was a different story - I loved that car, it would go through anything, and the person that finally got rid of it drove it to the junk yard with over 300,000 on it. It had the straight 6 engine, and enough room to stand in the engine compartment (that '74 Nova? In order to change the back 2 spark plugs on the driver's side, you had to REMOVE the air conditioner compressor!).

CORVAIR owner here!!! The Challanger seems to following the same hoofs

as the Mustang (Well done Ford!!).

This was my favorite-est car growing up. I love Cudas!

The new challenger really does resemble the cuda, but more so the older challengers.

You Car freaks have some serious issues to deal with.

It should be an interesting auto show, only ten minutes away in Windsor via tunnel bus, with Honda winning car of the year and truck of the year, Detroit is all a flutter about it. Muscles cars are all the rage with U.S. automakers this year.
