My dad told me a story about working at GM, they were looking into that very thing and they found that they had only built one single buick station wagon (or olds, I'm not sure honestly) with a particular sport handling package... the one they invoiced to themselves to validate the suspension on that car.

Not usually what we think of when someone says "driver mod", but it could work.

I see you're new here and don't know squat about me or most of the people on this forum (if had any clue wtf you're talking about you would not be making mustang comments directed at me). I'm glad you feel smug and superior posting your trite little comments. Everyone has a right to their own opinions. A lot of people think this car is not perfect and could use a few things. Regardless of your tunnel vision the consensus of many people (including reviewers, experts, journalists, enthusiasts, etc...) think the car needs a little more power. Does it need 400HP? NO Does the car suck the way it is? NO if it did I would not own it. Would it be nice if the car maybe had a 2.5 liter option with say 250HP? Hell yes. Would that break the bank or dramatically change the car? NO Please don't go straight to insulting people and try debating. |
