Must not have been meant to be.

 

 

Next car won't be a convertible. To many damn restrictions for racing :(

I'm not a fan of convertibles. With that said I still think your current one is a nice car.

I don't think they're ugly, I just think they take away from the look of the car in some way.

Drove it to Waterford mi to see my friends and we all worked on our trucks and swapped parts, then got dinner and cruised woodward.fd8dab2ea93bdee9cfc9734c947f532d.jpga2b2cdfad092d73556f758af41f9132d.jpg21e8d2cded6efcd0104307482abefaff.jpg3dda24efd8ca0807c007dd25814a6b18.jpg

My buddy was telling me the ragtop Camaros are built super strong to add structural rigidity with the missing hard top. Lots of extra bracing the hard tops don't have. That's a good thing if your putting out big HP numbers, and mash that pedal to the boards regularly.

 

Can't believe how quiet it is in the cab with the top down. He put some diffuser of some sort on the back (don't have pics of it) that streamlines the airflow. No wind and zero noise (except for his exhaust, lol - 700HP at the rear wheels is LOUD). It's like you have a giant glass top. Pretty wild.

The 5th gen was designed from a convertible point at the beginning of the design phase then transferred to the coupe.

 

Your friend probably has the Havoc rear diffuser

Ripped the intake manifold off. Intake is easy. .. that retarded plastic pos cover they attach on top is ridiculous. I had the manifold on the bench and that stupid thing was still above the heads because it wouldn't come off.

Yea I bet I'd wanna pull the intake off every how many miles to clean the engine. What a joke.

Huh.... mine was full of dirt from my airbox lid being damaged. Otherwise I would have never removed the intake manifold unless I had a purpose like a blower. ... fuel system upgrade etc. I didn't pull it to clean valves lol. My truck only has 24000 miles on it... the valves look great!

 

You guys read too much stupidity on this website and somehow think it's real world lol.

I better see you at woodward we cruised it last night.

 

This whole weekend I spent time in the square new radio speakers and swapped grills with a friend. Then we out them all in a car show this morning and cruised some more. Pics are all in the photography section.

How does an airbox lid get damaged on a brand new vehicle?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
