That "thing" got a 350 in it?

Just curious how many people get this question. I get it a lot from non camaro owners, and I dont mind it cause I know they are just trying to strike up a conversation about cars, but just wanted to know how many others get this question.

But that old skool culture was still alive and well at Barret-Jackson last weekend.
The LS engines still use old skool pushrod technology from 1955.

I was walking into walmart the other night with the fiancee, had a guy hauling around an old 80s model mustang on a trailer who yelled at me and said, 'you wanna race?' his passenger said, 'pushin' five hunnerd right now!' we both chuckled and walked on in.

You guys should see some of the love for cars down here in the South

New car manager asked me if my 2010 SS had a chip in it when I traded it in. I told him no. Glad he didn't ask if it was tuned, LOL!
