Congrats to Chevy for making a mustang/challenger half breed. No wonder the big three are going broke. Besides if you spend that kind of money on a half-assed build why not just get an oringinal driver? ---

Besides if you spend that kind of money on a half-assed build why not just get an oringinal driver? What’s half-assed about it? 300+ HP out of the V6, 426 HP out of the V8, IRS, now that I’ve seen the interior in person everything but the gauges are way, way nicer than anything GMs done other than the newest CTS, G8 and maybe the GTO. Brembos, 20"s etc. And why would GM want an “original” driver. First off, GM has had a long-standing relationship w/ Jay so they know he’s going to give it a “good” review. And Jay is probably one of America’s best-known “car guys” so GM figures they’ll get the most “street cred” from Jay raving about it. Sure, I’d rather know what John Heinricy or Boris Said or LG have to say about it… but how many “average” Americans would know who the F any of those guys are or give a shit what they say. > [@WTB: Ice Hockey equipment (elbow pads, pants)](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-ice-hockey-equipment-elbow-pads-pants/40307/4): > > DBS \> Camaro Wow, really!?!
