I'm a huge P-51 fan...the airplane, not so much that car.

I had a chance to fly a P-51 for an hour doing aerobatics. Really all I ever imagined. It didn't disappoint.

My flight.

Opportunity of a lifetime. Awesome. :)

My favorite fighter plane of WWII is the Me-262. Go figure. :D

Dude, we get it......... You like licking Camaro balls and slobbing the knob. If it weren't for the Mustang, there wouldn't even be a Camaro, period. I've owned both and driven all of the newer ones except the 6th Gen Camaro. Saying the S550 is of lesser quality than a 5th Gen is laughable at best. The interior of the 5th Gen is absolutely horrid compared to even a S197 Mustang. Like I said, I have owned a 09 GT Premium that I absolutely beat the piss out of and it never gave me a lick of problems that I didn't cause myself. How many cars can bust an input shaft on an automatic trans, have it replaced with a stronger one, and still work without further issue? I can count on one hand how many times that has happened to me with one finger. Every other car that I've owned that popped the input shaft, took the rest of the trans with it. Now, back to civilized conversation.......ffs.

Chevy and Ford going away from the retro look is going to kill them eventually.

Unlikely. Not every Camaro has been retro designed. It's like back when sampling old tracks from the disco era was all the rage. There comes a time when it needs to evolve into its own. I'd be very curious to see a new Camaro that doesn't pretend to be something out of its past, but still maintains the lineage.

He really hurt your feelings huh? First time I've seen a Camaro owner so adamantly defend a Mustang on a Camaro forum in such detail. Licking Camaro balls and slobbing the knob is not civilized conversation. FFS

The olive drab insert would have been better with some more olive drab accents, good looking car overall

So if they built these, or something like it, with all the modern performance and other modern stuff....people would buy them? Sorta going back to their roots, but with ultimate badass...
