Not really since the stock price did not go down, and they just got the motortrend car of the year for 2010 and also exceeded their sales from what was projected...

I almost got in on some Ford stock, but Im too lazy. It going to be a killer investment when the auto industry turns around.

He thought a 6 speed would add 30lbs to the car so he said

ok instead of 30 pounds then 26...

after i told him that the MT82 is actually 4 pounds lighter than the TR3650

Since the 6 speed going in is 4lbs less than the current transmission how is that adding anything? so we aren't adding 26 or 30 were are taking away -4 transmission wise... get it?

Why is that crazy? Do you not think if GM does build a Z28 version of a Camaro it will not have the same suspension setup as the SS?

And I'd bet you could use your fingers to count the members who could get 12.6 out of a stock camaro.
I'd be willing to wager that out of 20,000 people who frequent a car enthusiasts website that there were more than 8 of them who are expert, professional, or semi professional drivers. I'll even give you the 2 thumbs and say there's more than 10 of them here.
