There's no other truck that matches the power, style, and class that Ridgeline provides. And if that wasn't enough...It also lines ridge!

Did you know the ridge has so much power , that if you put it in reverse and floor it ,you will go back in time ?

Perhaps the Ridgeline's AWD which is named VTM-4

Kids misbehaving? The in bed trunk is lockable

The advantage of the new "Bad Ass Truck" tax break

Thank you for robbing me of 2 minutes of my life that I shall never recover.

The next Vette I test drive will be a 2011/12 GS with the magnetic ride control. I've heard many good things about that option and I like the GS package with the 6spd manual transmission.

Might as well wait for the C7 if you are thinking about a purchase. If you dont like it...get a left over 2012 C6...

+1

Why get the last model year of a car. Its gonna be the old vette as soon as you drive it off the lot and its gonna suck making payments on a car that looks old and out dated in less then a year of ownership and resale goes way down. You might as well buy a used C6 and let some other guy take the hit.

It's an inside story, Cmisca the Great will know exactly what I'm referring too.... speaking of, why does he type in bold at everything ? It's a thread with 10,000 posts on an old forum, it's hilarious.

You seem to be an expert on being "butt hurt"....

Or are you the expert in question ? What was it like being continously raped by IROC-Z's when your stang was stock ? Or did they just give your poor pony a good ol' molesting ? Sad times, so you had to but a blower on it, through it's exhaust, so now it just blows itself....

[08-G35s/6MT]

Please excuse that last post. I really do mean that with true heartfelt sympathy, a Fox Body Mustang being molested is not a topic we should discuss, it's truly sad.... hell even it's own 4-cylinder made as much power as that old Windsor 5.0 stock. Though my friend has a 88 F-body Stang with the 302, he is going to stroke it out to 342(if i remember correctly)...

Uuhhm, okay... I'm not even sure as to where to start with you LOL. I guess we'll begin with your rock bottom intellect/selective memory. A late model fox vs a 3rd Gen IROC, stock vs stock, was a driver's race. 302ci vs 350ci being a driver's race is sad IMO. Kind of reminds me of the present Mustang 5.0 vs Camaro SS debate . We shall end this on your retarded statement regarding an n/a 2.3L producing as much power as ANYTHING in the Windsor V8 family. This last statement is directed solely at you. Mustangs have been produced CONTINUOUSLY since 1964. GM had to take a 7 yr hiatus so as to ponder the question "how in the hell do we make a car that will compete with that nasty lil sb Ford that's been whooping us for 4 decades?" Congrats on solving that issue for all of 12 months GM...

The 1980 Fox Body Mustang:

The venerable 5.0 liter V8 was replaced with a new 4.9 liter V8 ( 255 cubic inches ) which produced an uninspiring 119 horsepower.
The 2.8 liter V6 was replaced with a 3.3 liter V6 which could be had with 91 - 94 horsepower,depending on whether you chose the automatic or the standard transmission. Although horsepower was down slightly, additional torque from the bigger engine made up most of the defecit in responsiveness.
The standard 2.3 liter inline 4 cylinder remained and produced 88 to 90 horsepower depending on the transmission choice.
The factory performance motor for the 1980 Mustang became the 2.3 liter turbocharged inline 4 cylinder which continued to produce 132 horsepower.
Many V8 Mustang fans, were understandably put off, by what looked like the planned end of the V8 Mustang!


Read my comments, I never said n/a anywhere earlier...



I joke with my friend who is obsessed with Fox Body Stangs, no hard feelings... Dont get me wrong, I like F-Body Stangs alot more than the jelly bean looking generation(1994-1998) and a helluva lot more than the Mustang II Ford Pinto ripoff, theyre cool, just not THAT fast when they first came out. Ford offering a 4 cylinder option more powerful than the Windsor 5.0 was a slap in the face to loyalists...

When I was growing up I thought the F-body mustang was some cheap economy bubble car thing, I always wondered why it had a wing on the back....

^ I also did.

But could be because was also rocking my IROC-Z trucker hat when I was 5 years old in 86 and it was the first car I can remember wanting.

Now I find myself just about everyday looking for a clean good running 91-93 fox body mustang, smog it and then resister it in a non renewing smog county and drop in the new 5.0L from the Boss 302. Its weird how your taste in car's change. I honestly don't love the looks of a 91-93 notch backs but boy are they good platforms to start off with when your looking for solid street strp car. I wouldn't even consider a 3rd gen Camaro for a street strip car, but clean 91-93 notch back or SSP 5.0(cop car) with a Boss 302 under the hood has been racing through my mind since I started visiting the svt forums a year and a half ago. I would trade my 72 Monte Carlo for a clean 91-93 ex CHP mustang or other SSP.
