Ok, ok, ok, I get it. Retro. Really, I understand. But I want to see a shaker hood and big old circular air filters, and when I take both those guys off (because you'd have
two, see). I want to see something resembling two 4bbl caburettors. Can you imagine the Csaba Csere review of a Camaro that gave him a stiffy like that? You don't gotta actually
make carbs, but eight throttle bodies in four roughly circular enclosures attached to a vaguely Edelbrock manifold (or, hell, even license it) would just shove that retro styling so far up our collective asses even
I might be inclined to buy into it.
attach it to something like the already gorgeous WS-6 hood:
Otherwise, @auto_manufacturers, I am unamused by your attempts to tickle my mid-life crisis fifteen years too early, by your attempts to pander to my parents, who have already
had their crises. I'm pretty easily swayed: fast enough to scare me to death, so uncomplicated as to leave that possibility squarely in my hands, and a cost something like half-to-a-year's pay.
Instead, they're plastic caricatures, looking as much like the original cars as Jean Grey actually looks like a real woman. (In Marvel's defence, a long time ago, she and Rogue actually had a somewhat more realistic body type)
I think this is why these days I'm tending towards motorcycles (and why in particular, the BMW's, the Hypermotard, and the Buells do
so do it for me)... They don't apologize for what they are, what they look like, what they do, what they sound like, and they will scare the everliving shit outta you if you're not careful. Just like a 60's and 70's muscle car would. On the other hand, if anyone sees me at the next meet,
they'll see the problem with that.
ing pounds??!?!?!?!
