F-Body Europe

I will no longer race a Fbody of any year on the street. I have been suckered into two stoplight runs by V6's that are dressed up like V8's. The only way you can tell is when you pull off and they look like they got out to change a flat tire. It amazes me the money these people drop on mods (albeit mostly appearance). They could easily have afforded the V8. I'm not slamming the sixer'ers because to each there own, but damn, be realistic.

And incase your thinking "well I can tell the differance" no you cant, cuz there are alot of stock/quiet exhaust 8's out there, and you would be surprised what some of the aftermarket exhaust sounds like.

Generaly a good idea I guess - no matter what the other car is - after all you're in the States with lots of race tracks ...

Well - you can always rice out an F-Body just like any other car I guess ...

There's a guy on ramstein who has a v6 whith Z28 badges on it. The badges are stickers not the factory one's looks extremely tacky.

What possesses these people??

but I'm not talking about "riced", I saw your post on cz28 about the 6 with the SS hood, there is one here also, but with the 12" 3000lb downforce producing wing.

These people have really nice looking cars. Enkei, Forgeline wheels, classy ground effects, really clean looking cars.

I'm sure If I saw another sports car I'd jump on him too, even if I knew I would probably be picking tire rubber out of my grill for weeks afterwards.

Rice on the other hand, IMO is asking for it. I go out of my way to bring them back to reality. I feel it is my duty to hunt down and harrass all forms of rolling billboards with neon lights and bass coming out of them.

I guess they just like the looks, but don't want the crappy gas mileage!! Just a thought..

I've seen some pretty pathetic F-bodies over here. The one that tops my list was a '79 Camaro with a big hole in the hood and one of those Air Scoops with the three red Butterflies sticking out of it. When he popped the hood, it turns out he's running a weak stock 305 with a 2 barrel carb. He built some kind of stack to mount that air scoop on the tiny carb. I about fell over! Of course, he also had sidepipes and air shocks fully pumped up. Another good one was a '78-81 Camaro with a cheap repro Firebird on the hood. Go figure!
To put Z28 emblems on a non Z28 car is really stupid, too. I've put SS stickers on my car, but only because there was no SS in my model year. Kinda like: "That's what it could have looked like if they had built one."

Hey, can't we all just get along? Why ya disin' my 6. No seriously, I understand what you are saying. I promise not to put Z28 badges on my 6, but I plan on getting every last HP out of her that I can. I think I am making up for the mistake of getting the 6, I didn't think I would be in Europe to use it. It is getting a little bit expensive, more that just buying the 8 when I had the chance, but it is fun to take it apart to mod it. Like you said 'to each his own'

There's a v-6 on one of these air force bases (no name) that is running around with an ss hood and badges. However it's definatly not an SS. It has the bent v-6 exhaust on it. It also has salad shooters 16" rims on it. Who knows why people do these things. Maybe there all comedians just giving the rest of us something to laugh at.
