why not a 16 y/o boy? not enough power to do anything with, but still kinda nice looking. That, and since the GA is a chick's car, the girls would be attracted tot he car anyway, right?
But now, once that boy becomes a man, he'd be better off getting into a GP.

Not enough power to do anything with? You realize 3400 GAs have the same horses as the old 5.0 Stangs did back in the 80's? If you can break tires loose with an auto, you've got some power.

Let go of your 60* V6 roots, man! LOL the 5.0 stangs of the 80's were complete turds. That comparison isn't saying much of anything.

x2 with drummer. Besides, the Metro and Fiesta were able to break the tires loose sometimes, too. I've done it (oh, I should never have admitted to driving those cars).
And GP GT Guy wont hafta step up to a GP when he becomes a man, he's already got a man's car. the transition's gonna be that much smoother.

I think we're just spoiled by the modern resurgence of the muscle car and fast production cars.

HAHAhah! thread hanging by a thread... was that on purpose, Herc? I'm not participating in this topic to argue anything... just mainly for the fun of it, and padding the ol' post count.

and to blow off some steam this site is harboring.
I knew I shouldnt have said anything about those two econo boxes
those GA trannies, are they tuned to be softer and nicer than the 4T60E/65E? or are they using the same tranny we are?
