Fuel prices and pollution type issue so grab on to one while they last as they might be doomed already.

you know we it come to high horsepower v8's there is nothing better than good old hard maintenance and this goes for any engine if people manage there cars like they suppose too I think we would have that problem, me I still thinking about saying the hell with the warranty and gut the engine and rebuild it with high proformence parts, still cant find a good supercharger I want my challenger to be at least 600 bhp, maybe more and if it does weigh over 4000lb. Im planning on doing something about that

Word is no 5.0 for 2010. MY 2011 will get it. Good news for GM and bad news for Ford.

No wrath at all, you claimed I was tense, I gave you an answer that yeah, I am tense. Although, I don't know you personally, I think many people would agree (that have gone to college, and no im not suggesting that you haven't) know what its like around finals time. Is an apology acceptable to you or?

lol finals are nothing to be treasured! The great thing about college now is that you can go whenever you want. So if you still want to go, dont give up on it. My posts were removed as well. HAHA, no cabo-wabo tonight, that comes thursday night...and in large quantaties!

Like the Gen V however, the new DI Ford is nothing to worry about the next year or so of production. Can't wait (if I can) for the DI 6.2....OMG *excited*

Oh yes they are. I just got done my last exams last week, last ones ever. Drank with my roomates 3 nights straight since then. But treasure your time in school. Anything that I've heard, life gets real hard in a few years. Finals are the easy bit, so be happy.

I'm at the point where I treasure nothing about class. I'm in debt and need to be making money. I haven't learned anything significant for 2 semesters as a result of these damned prerequisites. I'm sick of paying someone to tell me my work isn't good enough for their class. I treasure graduation. I treasure nothing else.
