Default Re: Focus with a... what?

Stuff like that used to bother me, but now that I think about it, it really doesnt.


I am a HUGE Oldsmobile guy, and I used to get pissed everytime I saw a Olds at a car show, because I knew 95% of them had chevy 350's. The 350 is a decent engine, but you can get a 455 Olds for next to nothing because no one seems to know what they are, and stock they almost snap your neck from the amount of torque they have.

I don't mind a Ford in a Chevy, Chevy in a Ford, or even mopar etc... If its all you got in your garage or something, then by all means just chuck it in anything you have. I'm all for Going Fast, however you do it.

If you guys think you're anal, the Mopar freaks get REALLY REALLY angry, when their angel HEMI's get dumped for something else

Oh, and I still love the newer RX-7's with LS-1's. A nice car, with some power instead of a wankel POS

Hey that Wankel is a great motor. When it's actually properly maintained. ANd stock they just cook under the hood cause of all the emissions bullshit they strap on them.

And as far as olds engines go, it seems people are beginning to realize how damn powerful they are stock. I had a chance at a Olds for $500 and it ran, I come back two months later and ask about the motor cause friend needs a new engine for his truck and the guy wants $1700 for it, and its' been sitting out in the weather.
