    Is that the Boss 302 Laguna Seca? The limited edition with stiffer adjustable suspension and a roll cage instead of rear seats?

    Don't know about roll cage but the laguna seca most definitely deletes the rear seats, the standard 302 keeps it. Thats all I know. The camaro for me doesn't need more power, it needs to add some lightness. Oh and lower windows. And GM is still iffy about the z28. So I'm not sure if it's a go yet.

    What they said.

    If I had to have a muscle car I'd take the money and buy a real '68 Mustang.

    Now that is a very solid option indeed. You know what I will go along your line, screw the new challenger. Give me my money so I get me a nice 71 challenger r/t. So in that case a new challenger srt-8 mainly because in my local area they seem to be the priciest even in the used car market, sell that, and put it towards a sweet 71.

    Yes I'm a bit of a mopar guy.

    Big difference between the Boss and the standard GT. I'd agree that the Z is the better experience when compared to the standard Mustang. Not when when compared to the Boss-wait until you drive it-amazing. The Seca is simply at another level-I also agree re: the garish wheels/trim(it doesn't look as bad on the Porsche(obviously what influenced Ford), but its easily fixed.

    The Camaro actually handles quite well and disposes of quite a few cars with a better cornering rep-like the EVO and others. The Challenger while not as nimble, is really a very nice car to cover distance in-I saw 174mph indicated on one of our tests and it was stable as could be.

    No cage yet, but race style Recaros, extra bracing, adjustable aero and rear seat delete.

    Because the new Laguna Seca isn't real? Huh? I've got old and new muscle in the fleet and enjoy both.

    Now, you're talking! My Vanishing Point Challenger looks "movie fresh", but has 600hp, a Keisler 5-speed, upgraded suspension, etc. Good times!
