    2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8 | Retro Review

    They were so much fun to drive. We bought an 06 back then as an R&D car and I got to drive it pretty regularly. The 6.1 was a beast, especially for the time. Would light the tires up from any roll under 40 MPH, tons of fun. FWIW these are MUST tune cars. The factory torque management is...

    Oldest son bought a 94 Corvette...so dad got one too...lol.

    The LT4 stuff performs on par with the early LS1 stuff. Slap a cam in the LT1, they wake up nicely.

    He went from an M2 comp with upgraded turbos to a red 21 TRX then to the white 23. Our parking lot is always changing, lol.

    Dang, 03 is going back. Predates me at 17+ years. I miss Pete, hear from him occasionally. I can imagine some of the guys doing what you described, it was a different world back then!

    He acquired a super high mile but clean C6, and offered it up for trade. The Apache came along and he jumped on it. 5.3 with a healthy cam, Holley hi-ram, longtubes, etc. It runs really well and rides great on a (non lowered) S10 chassis. Fun truck, and is for sale or trade currently.

    2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre | MotorWeek First Drive

    I just fail to agree that they don't care about power. Nothing cheap about a V12, anywhere, but they still added twin turbos to it. Why? because nobody cared about more power? LOL.
