I've been waiting for a car like this for quite a while. As soon as they brought back the 1970 Grabber Orange color, I had to have one. I call it my retirement gift--after 21 years on active duty with teh Air Force, I decided I deserve it--actually, I talked the wife into it.

woa, too cool! Brings to mind the 66 350s. Friend of mine had one around '69, used it in parking lot slaloms. It was awesome. So's yours. Have fun and try to keep your foot out of it in town!

Cool! That is one sweet ride! Remember to keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down!  GT 350??? We just have the 500 here in Canada. What are the specs on that bad boy? What year?
Since we're on the subject of new rides, here's the one I picked up on Wednesday... 
It's an '05 LGT MT5 (Subaru forum jargon for Legacy GT Ltd, 5 speed manual tranny) 
Not as sweet or potent as yours but as far as 4 door sedans go, it's a good performer. |

Alain, its a 350 hp, 2007 Supercharged Mustang GT, just the smaller 8# boost. SLP Loudmouth II catback exhaust and Saleen CAI and chip, Saleen powdercoat wheels. She runs like a scalded cat! |

Alain, forgot to say--thats a very nice ride. I'm not too familiar with the import seen, but I know some of those Japanese cars can be pretty darn quick. I trook mine to the track after break in and she ran a repectible 12.7 1/4 mile on a hot day. I'm very happy with this car--I'll probably pass it on to my sone in 3 years and I'll get one of the new Challengers--I'm a Mopar guy at heart. |

350 HP! Nice one Scott!!! I'm an American Muscel car guy at heart but...2 kids and a long daily commute... LOL... I needed a 4 door sedan. The Subbie is not bad at all. Turbocharged 'boxer' flat four. 250 HP and about the same it torque very low in the range (about 3500 RPM)... 0-100 in about 5.5s. What I like most though is the Symetrical all-wheel-drive. We have close to 2ft. of snow accumulated here already! This thing is a real tank in the snow... Here's my no money object dream machine... 
'68 Eleanor recreation. I think they were asking 175K for that one in particular! |

Oooooh Dave... NICE! A good but of mine had one a few years ago. It was a project car but he sold it before he had time to complete (or even really start). |

It's great to know that not all of us are bound and tied in the shop, making endless piles of sawdust. Some of us are out making piles of burnt rubber on the streets of America!
Mine (see photo to the left) won't burn rubber, but I'll take you into the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca anytime.
And my project car should be ready this spring: 
Keep the shiney sides up |

Nice, They are making some wicked little Stangs these days. I was raised around Mustangs, so I have always been a fan. I have two but they are not as new as yours. One 67' coupe, and a 69' Mach. Peace,Rich |

Someone I knew in high school had a real Shelby GT350 a few years later (way too much money in the family) I made the mistake of asking him how fast it would go when we were on a straight stretch of highway onetime ... This was probably 1971 or so? |

Here’s my new ride!!! Just got this baby last week, and what a truck it is!!! 2006 with 18,000 miles, and came with all the factory warranties, including a 5 year, 100,000 mile power train warranty. 6.0 Vortec V8 gas burner, 300 hp. It’s a 4X4, with a 4.10 locking rear differential. Its got a 4L80E HD 4-speed auto transmission, with some kind of added (don’t know what its called) extra for towing. This truck is rated for 5 tons of towing capacity. It’ll pull my skid loader where ever I need to go! OK! I know she ain’t no race car, but, man! I LOVE this truck!

Nice Truck Robert! I love 4x4's too! I just sold my 84' Ford 4x4 XLT shortbed. I ran the crap out of it four wheelin' in the swamps and sand down here. Also used it as my work truck for a while -pullin a mixer full of mud doing stucco jobs. i miss it already! Man, Thats a great truck you have there Robert!! |

Thanks Dave! If you get up this way, maybe I'll let you take her for spin! But, no four wheelin'! I'm still in that (Can't let it get dirty) stage.

Robert, That will wear off soon and you'll be bouncing around the woods and slippin' around on that Georgia clay.
