The fifth generation Camaro does look better than the new sixth generation - with it's 69' wide style grille & RS halo lights.

67' style taillights with rear spoiler.

Fondly Remembering the Fifth-Generation Camaro - 2010 Considering the model hasn’t been produced for nearly a decade, the new iteration of the Camaro didn’t resemble its predecessor. For starters, the vehicle could be equipped with a whole new slate of available engine offerings. The 3.6-liter V6 engine was one of the smaller options, but the system still managed to pump out a hulking 312 horsepower and 273 pounds-feet of torque. The next offering was the incredible 6.2-liter V8 engine, which was accompanied by a manual transmission. Drivers could ultimately anticipate a practically unmatched 426 horsepower and 420 pounds-feet of torque. Finally, the innovative L99 V8 engine was for those seeking a bit more efficiency. Despite the impressive 400 horsepower and 410 pounds-feet of torque, fuel-saving technologies like Active Fuel Management contributed to the impressive 30-miles-per-gallon highway fuel efficiency.

Man the racing season is a month away from getting started again as the World of Outlaw series will start its season off at the Vado Speedway in New Mexico in January. But before that there is a new series that will run around the southeast for 6 races and that series started November 22nd @ The Place Your Momma Warned You About Cherokee Speedway for the 29th annual Blue Gray 100. Chris Madden won the inaugural race for the series and picked up the 10K prize money. https://xtremedirtcar.com/news/a-six-pa ... -cherokee/

The next race for this series will be this weekend and they are calling it the Grinch at the Gap at the infamous Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap TN. The race will pay 5K to win. Here is the cool part about this 6 pack challenge the winner of the points fund will collect a cool 20K at the end of the series

Haha...

Can I take this as a yes?

[racincowboy02]

Yes absolutely you can take it as a yes I responded earlier in the thread as well but I may not have gotten saw cause it was a small reply

To be honest I am super excited about this year and the racing scene especially around the region as well as nationally could be a pretty big year

I’m fond of “Modern Day Muscle” too.

As well as the old.

The Boss of Bosses – 1969 Mustang Boss 429 - As with all muscle cars, the heart of the Boss 429 was the engine. Everything about the 429 was huge. The intake ports and large-diameter valves were large enough to keep these engines spinning up to 8,000 rpm. The intakes measured 2.28 inches and the exhaust valves were 1.90 inches in diameter. The mammoth hemispherical cylinder heads and rocker covers were aluminum (early versions were magnesium). The crankshaft was a forged-steel unit, which was statically and dynamically balanced. This engine was rated at 375 horsepower but that number was not even close to its potential.

Ford used a Holley 735cfm carburetor mounted on an aluminum intake manifold. Engineers designed the cylinder heads without gaskets. Ford called this the “dry-deck” method. Instead, an individual rubber O-ring was used for each of the 21 oil and water passages inside each cylinder head. Another four stainless steel O-rings sealed the combustion chamber. A forged steel crankshaft spun in a four-bolt main bearing block. Despite the performance potential of these rare engines, Ford had to install the Thermactor pollution-control system. Other than “Boss 429” decals on the front fenders and a huge, manually controlled air scoop that sealed to the top of the air cleaner, there were no other emblems to show this was a special car. The 1969 cars, like our feature car, had dual front pipes leading to two “bullet” type resonators, that led to a single transverse muffler and into two turn-down tips. The battery was trunk mounted to improve weight distribution. Unlike the 1970 Boss 429s, the ’69 version does not have a rev limiter.
