I've noticed that muscle car/domestic fans just don't embrace new layouts, technologies, and the like as quickly as other car groups. I mean that as no disrespect to anyone here, because I am the same way myself. So I'm sure that over time the muscle car guys will grow to accept and trust IRS.

Only the first pic was already here.

I love the Top Gear guys. Sweet ride. I'm amazed at the true duals also. Sweet

That narrowing just before the IRS/Diff area could be leading to an X-Pipe, that would be awesome, i love the mellower sound that you get with an X-Pipe. If it allrdy comes with one, and the exhaust is at lest 2.5 inches, i dont see anything that i'd need to do to the exhaust other then a set of Flowmaster 40's or some Magnaflows

I can tell right now, changing the spark plugs on this one will probably not be easier than the Gen. IV.

Same with the headers!

Gatecrasher · 02-19-2008, 01:13 PM

I can't speak about the headers, but do you really think the plugs will be that bad? Half the engine isn't hiding under the cowl like the 4th gen. It looks pretty open under there.

Let's cross our fingers!

It can't be any worse then Dodge and having to take the tire off to change it, can it?

I have to take the whole intake manifold off my Stealth to change my rear bank of plugs. That's quite a chore on a car with twin turbochargers.

I ain't skeered
