I was thinking that I wish I had my GT500 back. Had to have a truck for several reasons but my Cobra was just a pleasure to sit in. Didn't matter how fast or slow you were driving. Show a car or truck you know longer have but wish you had back. Not necessarily what you replaced with your truck
It made it worse when I saw my cobra on the used lot.

 

Definitely miss my STi from time to time when I want to mash on the throttle. Had a ton of mods and put down 360whp on a super conservative tune at 19psi

 

It just wasn't the same after. Excellent truck though I miss the long box.

 

Say what you will about it. But it WAS and always be the best car I had ever owned. The screwed up thing is when I got rid of my car it was the last of it's kind in Deep Slate. I still miss it and when I do find pictures of mine from back in the day I get all nostalgic.

 

Each day I miss this old chevy more and more. We all have that one vehicle we loved first. This '87 was mine!

 

Never got to finish it.

Had: comp stage 2 cams, 4-1 race header, magnaflow catback, lightweight racing wheels, svt dsi manifold conversion (I think I was the only one back then to do it). Had a ported head with titanium hardware that was slated to go on. Was targeting 175whp with it. Was a blast to drive on the curvy back roads.

 

I wish I still had either my
1969 Z28......or my
1969 455 HD GTO.......or my
1979 5.0 Pace Car Mustang

 

1985 Dodge Ram, bought it brand new in 84. It was my first new vehicle. I loved it. But we had more need for a four door sedan so I sold it around 93.

The guy I sold it to wrecked it a couple of weeks later. Thanksgiving morning about 10 AM, drunk as hell, killed two woman who were on their way to church to cook Thanksgiving dinner for homeless people.

I saw a pic of it on the TV news. The entire front end was gone. Them poor woman never had a chance.

I always think about if I had not sold it maybe he would not have killed them.

I loved that truck

 

My 1968 Plymouth GTX
It had a 440 magnum engine that my dad and I pumped up to at least 450 HP coupled to a bullet proof Torqueflight 727 auto.
I used to put street slicks on it in the summer and make good money racing on the streets of Ohio.
Because of the street slicks I could put the horsepower down and was gone while other high horsepower cars (Hemis, Yenkos, Chevelle 454's) sat smoking their tires.
It was like driving a Stock car on the streets. It had a speedometer that went to 150. When I dropped a set of 323 gears in, I took it up to 140mph on a freeway no problem. I don't think the Goodyear polyglass tires were rated for that. Ha. One hundred octane gas was twenty three cents a gallon.
Those were the days my friend.

 

You sound like my uncle....all I hear about at EVERY family function is the damned satellite that snapped the speedo needle off from pegging it.
