Visibility is a bit limited... for 10 minutes as a few guys noted. But then again. My F-250 has big windows all around. And yet I ran my folks garbage can over because someone put it out in the road in front of my truck and I forgot. Cant see the first 8 or 10 feet in front of you...
Our 2ss vert is my wifes DD. She has no problems. Even squeezing between my truck and the curb in our driveway.
The truck could haul 20 golf bags, and pull a trailer with 20 golf carts to the counrty club. If I golfed or cared I would take the truck. Thats not why we have a Camaro.
I like Mustangs and Challengers. I always preferred Camaros. Since the 60s. But Id take a properly done one of any of them. Dodge tends to rust though. And all that Fiat stuff has me not looking at them. But a Hellcat? How can you be a car guy and not want one?
I owned a few Vettes. One a 69 vert with a 427. Tires were unable to hook.. brakes were not so good. Sounded and felt great though. But the first Gen 6 I drove was a Hertz rental in Fla... First time I put it to the wood I expected wheel spin and let off. All the early muscle cars Ive owned would have smoldered the tires and went sideways. I honestly never had a car that accelerated as hard as that Camaro.
I had an 85 RX7. I liked it a lot. Went like hell. Handled great. But they used a lot of gas and oil too. Plus something about cracking in the engines. I dont remember. Had mine 2 years with zero issues. It was great in the snow with studded snows too. I kept the stock 13s with snows for winter. And 60/15s for summer.
I dont know. I laugh at people who criticize. Mostly they have no clue.
In the early 80s I was having a beer on my friends porch. My 78 HD Superglide was parked in the street right in front of us....His neighbor comes out and sits down and asks about the bike... "what kind of bike is that?" I said "its a Suzuki" He starts telling me how I should have bought a Harley... The friggin thing was parked 20 feet away and hes looking right at my bike and telling me what I shoulda done...he knew everything about Harleys...
If I was to be able to afford one of all the cars Id love to have Id need a few warehouses. Id have a hell of a time picking a top 10 list.
Often, the ones that arent the most popular when new... End up the most sought after 25 years later.

I wonder how that 69 Vette would be on modern tires. I love my SS but I'd give up my SS and a left nut for a 69 427 Stingray. Loads of torque.
