sure the Hemi is the best engine ever but your forgetting that the hemi wasnt crippled by emissions controls and crappy gas quality. that being said the engine in my 78 trans am is going to have approx 450Hp and 550ft/lbs of torque. thats not bad numbers for these days on pump gas.
you should try putting todays gas in an origional 68 hemi and see how far it gets you, the detonation you will get out of it will wreck your motor in short order
@EvilElf44 You are absolutely right on all counts. The late 70's early 80 emmisions and anti compression motors was an unfortunate time. It is what it is and that's why I'm in favor of dropping in a different motor worthy of a trans am. I'm well aware of what todays gasoline will do to a Hemi motor, it's percisely the reason I run led additiive with high test gas in mine.
read some truthful points made here but are we watching a beautiful car to comment on? People with opinions.....we all have one just like the other we all have. My 2 cents....Power in numbers--no one will stick together for anything to change, just look at the differences on this page of nobodies? A few crumbs that are cloned that make up many of the population, so each man for himself will not change a thing. All quit working and grow vegetables to survive and watch things change then.
the 2nd generation trans am is the most perfect performance series ever offered by gm!!!! the shit they put out now completely sucks,, there reraCHING FOR THE LATE SIXTIES,, when cubic inches ruled, but we all know those bitches will never get there,,,mainly because of dick cheny and george bush the 1,,,commmon knowledege! we are not retarted, as they wish we were!!!!!
@SuRihtanil there made in california dumbass and polaris are the biggest pieces of shit. there the number one quad i see broken down on the side of the trails. but if you ride like a pussy witch im sure you do you do the'll suit you just fine.
@440hondaex LOL I've owned Polaris for years. Honda was first made and built in Japan. The money you use to pay for that Honda feeds Japanese people, and Japanese government taxes. If people would buy shit from their own people and stop outsourcing life in the USA would get much better... People stupid people don't understand some of the most simple facts.
Note: I've never had any problems with any Polaris nor has any of my friends or family, however my dad did buy a honda foreman once and it was utter junk and stop working a year after he had it. Take care of your shit it will last, take care of your country and the people there it will also last.
@SuRihtanil LOL. I always thought adults should sort a look after themselves. If you need the help of others to survive, I would sorta blame yourself for that not others.
@SuRihtanil MADE IN CALIFORNIA ARE YOU BLIND. yes honda originates from japan but the 400ex's are enginered and built right here in the good old USA providing jobs to american people. It is a far more superior built atv compared to polaris. i can garentee i would spank the shit out of your garbage polaris any day on the track.
@440hondaex Shut up you're stupid... If I was born in China, and moved to USA later in my life to make money. That fucking does not make me American period. I am not going to give any money to people that killed my ancestors, or people I or my grand kids may be killing, and dying from years from now. Plus its the fact you're supporting foreign people, and there way of life while Americans, and American products get shit on. People like you are why GM was going bankrupt!!!!!!!
@SuRihtanil Yeah because GM doesn't have vehicles like the aveo where the engine amoung other things is made in korea or the pontiac vibe thats a toyota with pontiac badges. you have no clue what the fuck your talking about where do you think all the computer products for these vehicles are being made in america ha thats a fucking crock. Im a GM fan all the way i've owed nothing but domestic vehicles but now there govenment owned i probly wont buy anything post 2009. Fuck off and have a goodday
@SuRihtanil I buy what I want, not what someone else wants me 2. Thats why its called a free market. If america would realize we r putting ourselves out of business, they would then be able 2 pull their heads out of their ass. With all the extra perks the public wants, only drives the price up which makes foreign goods more affordable. So if the item you r trying to say is great as well as the rest of the american goods, why arent they beating the competition? Its not brain surgery
@democratichypocrit It's not up to America to assist you. You will always be able to travel to other countries or to buy items from those countries because of the internet. However, it's up to the people to take care of their country and their well being. If you want to pay taxes to Japan then there is nothing America can do about that. However, like I tell everyone else stop complaining about health care, sorry retirements, and high taxes. The American public does it to themselves!
@SuRihtanil "We the people" ARE america not the govt or the industries. We r getting the pants beat off of us on the free market, cause we price ourselves out of the ball park due to 2 much overhead at home. I buy the best value 4 the money whether its made at home or abroad. Thats the best policy 4 our market & the consumer. Thinking your way is accepting inferior workmanship of products, which results in lowering your standards. My allegiance is 2 my family not a flag. Its not brain surgery.
@democratichypocrit Then when your country collapses that you and your family are apart of... go figure you can move to Asian and become a second rate citizen in a foreign land. You can then be looked at like you, and the rest of "we the people" look at Mexican immigrants. American isn't what it use to be because "we the people" run it and f* it up. People LIKE YOU! run for office... people that grow up in your town, went to your school. The Govt is YOU, it is your family, its we the people.
@SuRihtanil It doesnt matter what u think of me, it only matters what I think. U r responsible 4 your life, not someone else. I have never & will never rely on anyone, country or govt 2 make me happy or comfortable n life. I did it on my own starting on a min wage salary with no college Education, now making mid 6 figure salary. Its not in God I trust.. U must trust n yourself or u will never b worth a damn. Blame god or yourself, not me. I am quite happy with mine.
@democratichypocrit If you think you can make a change run for office, but you're no different than every other person in office. You will fix nothing, you will change nothing, because you can't change a country full of backstabbing idiots who have no allegiance to anything but themselves. That is the USA, that is "we the people".
@SuRihtanil Who said anything about running for office? I dont care what happens 2 u or 2 anyone else. I am living my life, go live yours. If u r a failure at life, then pull yourself out of the gutter & quit moaning like a grade school sissy. I love people like u. Its people like u that make it so eary 4 people who try. LOL. As far as allegiance, u r entitled to your opinion, & dont tell me u dont know what they say about those? Good luck in life, its apparent u need as much as u can get.
I usually only like black cars... This is one of the few cars that look absolutly stunning in any color.
