The Challenger has terrible visibility out back. It wasn't as claustrophobic as the Camaro up front, but looking back, it has HUGE blind spots. I just hate the Camaro's interior altogether. It's just trash. Chrysler/Dodge have come up lately. Their interior quality is on par (and in some ways better than) with Ford's.

 

Same here. I was next to a SRT8 Challenger yesterday at a red light. Awesome looking car. Just wish that they lost some weight.

 

Mmmmmm

 

I especially like that this is a Cheby thread and we are talking Challys! :-)

 

Wow, if that is how the 2014 Z28 will be, I cant wait to see what the GT350 Mustang is going to be like.

 

I'd rather Ford stick to its Boss formula offering a lot of bang for the buck. As cool as the Z/28 is its out of reach for a lot of its biggest fans. I would hate to see a ''cold war'' reaction from Ford with the GT350 receiving a similar treatment and costing 60 or 70 or 80 grand.

Well unless of course the GT350 is going to be the range topping Mustang for the S550 and Ford has/something else in mind for a Boss replacement to fill the gap between the FT and GT35

 

Yeah, I think if I were King of Ford, I'd do two, maybe three, models some upstream of the GT: a track oriented Boss, a strip oriented Mach I, and perhaps a gentleman's GT, a Bullitt. Then top the range with a GT 500 class model.

As for the Z/28, very impressive car but a bit too pricy.

 

Gotta keep it interesting. lol
But in all seriousness, the LS3 powerplant is awesome and loves boost.

 

Not a bad engine, just old news, it's a glorified ls1.

 

I would like to someday have one of each. Yup

 

And by glorified you mean much better. While sharing the same architecture the LS3 is an advancement over the LS1. Much more bore room, better cooling, cam phasing, better heads and super easy to make power. Even the LS2 supersedes the LS1 but is much closer to a glorified version than an LS3.

The LS2 is my current favorite pushrod engine for its robustness and price. No cam phasing but all the advances over an LS1. With proper stroke it can become a square 402. Easy to wrench on. Darn near perfect for a home mechanic.

 

Kinda but not really. The 4.8-7.0 is all the same motor basically. Lots of parts can be swapped between blocks. Such a great design.
I agree with this. That 6.0L is a great one. The earlier version, the better. The truck version 6.0L is a great motor also. Once they started with the cylinder killing, it got bad. Most of that can be swapped out for performance purposes though. Mainly the cam and lifters. It's a very simple and great design. If you tear one down, you can tear all of them down.

 

Basically, just with minor but enhancing changes. Though unlike any other LS, the LS7 is a Siamese bore to accommodate those super sized pistons. But still super close in architecture and identical engine foot print. I loved the cathedral port heads until the rectangles went main stream on the LS3 and not just the LQ for Cadillacs.
