I'm going to put up some retro photos, which I have had in disarray. Here's a last-gen ('06 or '07) Monte Carlo I frequently see at a store parking lot. While in fantastic condition, I'm not a fan of red. It's an LT model. I see 1 exhaust pipe, meaning a 3.5 V6. I only bring this up because this engine was EPA rated at something ridiculously high, like 32 mpg, on the open road. However, it wasn't that ridiculous after all. I've rented numerous and they got 32, 33, and even 34 mpg under ideal conditions, which is amazing for a car this heavy and for having 211 HP. I don't know how they pulled that off, and with only 4 speeds in the automatic transmission. You get up to 37 or 38 mpg these days for downsizing all the way to 1.8 liters and 4 cylinders! The only thing wrong with this car, if you can see it, is the two retro blocks of black racing paint on the hood. Nope. Less is more.

Too bad no Barrett Jackson Scottsdale mentions on here. I'm sure it's a copyright issue, but some amazing classics getting big money rolling across the block right now. Heading over tomorrow to see for myself.

It sounds like it's all using braking on one side, not moving the rear wheels like Quadrasteer did.. Probably not as tight as the Rivian which I think steers the front wheels opposite directions to turn tightly.

Ford Brazil built the '65 Ford Galaxie until 1984. This is a '74 :

You're so easy, Moltie!

That's a Cadillac interior in the pic... Chevys had round gauges..and a Biscayne didn't have all the shiny trim.

Boring POS with Corolla headlights. NO THANKS.

For some people, it clearly does.

Giorgio platform (I guess the platform is a good one. The looks of the Guilia are sexy enough, but its the motor under the suit that get my vote...but that Ferrari V6 is NOT OR WILL EVER BE a MOPAR V8!!!) Giorgio Armani (Im not into his fashions) but there is one Giorgio that I dig... Giorgio Moroder I feel love for an electrified Muscle Car. I want my muscle car Challenger to remain beefy as it is. Maybe a tad less weight do to a newer platform that benefits from weight reduction materials, but I do want it to retain more or less the same exterior and interior dimensions. No substantially bigger and no substantially smaller therefore maybe a Giorgio platform is not the answer for a new Challenger. So... the old platform seems to be gettiing reworked again. The Challenger brings the goods with this version of a re-worked platform. I do not see this as a bad thing... Back to an electrified Muscle Car. I dig that too. I buy into that idea....BUT...it looks like the MOPAR folk dont think that a muscle car should be 100% electrified. That is a very good thing. It looks like the Challenger might be trading in supercharge assist for electric motor assist while retaining V8 goodness. That I applaud. Maybe the supercharger stays too? All the better if it does. More muscle car badassery to kick Teutonic and Japanese and Swedish and Chinese ass!!! MUSCLE CARS RULE. NO MATTER WHAT IS UNDER THE HOOD. Or...um...under the seats because skateboard platform with a battery pack residing there. (BUT IM DOWN WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR ASSIST IN THAT HELLCAT!!!)

That would be me, right? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
