Omg, lol. New cars ~ $12,500. I feel old. I do remember someone having one of those. Or maybe it was a Yugo, can’t remember.

That was my old car. The hole was for pissing after drinking a few brews on a road trip

Yes... That's an SS HPE550 with 550hp

Ok so we’re moving the goalposts

An HPE550 is a specially modified vehicle from Hennessey with a supercharger, ported heads, and whatnot

And guess what? It’s still slower than a bone stock F10, and gets dogwalked by an F10 with a plug and play

I thought those weren’t too bad for what they were. Pretty solid default car. Inferior to a Camry or Accord, but otherwise far from the worst thing GM ever built.

When I was in highschool, 1983, my father drove a 70's brown Dodge dart 4 door. Thing was ugly AF. Then he traded it in on a green one.














The people who didnt like muscle cars back then, the preppie boys, drove VW rabbits.

Boring ride

In 1991 my first car was a 79 Celica GT, I wanted an IROC so bad, finally got a 87 IROC, the Celica was faster, cornered better, i was disappointed

190hp vs maybe 100, don't see how it was faster...assuming a 305 in the Camaro.

Cornering was probably a push, due to Celica's lighter weight.

Celica was a manual vs auto on the Camaro, right?

It wasn’t easy, but I banged a chick in the backseat of one of these parked behind the game room in Altoona back in the 80s.

First car was ‘64 Chevy with a 283. Felt it was underpowered because it didn’t have a 327.

Wouldn’t have to worry about it running for long if it came out of Hennessy.

If my car was on the run from the law, I'd send it to Hennessy.

I had a 1972 Plymouth Cricket. It might not have been able to reach 70mph. Luckily I wrecked it and it was totaled.
