What? Does the wink mean that is sarcasm?




I don't know if IRS = modern amenity, but IMO it is a modern improvement.

Looks alike to me just more modern...Cars big and i wished it performed a little better but is a sharp looking car... That being said Ill probably wait til the 5.0 stangs come back out and grab one of them.

Ok, I am unaware of that. Can you show me an example? I never went to the marissa tomei automotive school, I only like to look at her.

No, they weren't. She said TEMPEST- which had an IRS from 1961-63, pre GTO.

And the early IRS's were not good in design. Something about a crappy camber curve or something like that. Vette guys may cry foul but it's exactly why VBP sells smart struts and such.

It's OK. Brooks and Dunn don't know what type of rear suspension a GTO has either.

Vettes didn't get IRS until the C2/1963 model either, IIRC.

Schumacher has a red V6 with the RS package, sticker is $28 and change, they are asking $28 and change! This mark up is a joke, I could see if they had an SS/RS with all the bells and whistles but a V6 model, sad.

Kevil wants $5k over sticker!!!
