No clue.

Can't tell you how many times I've looked at a car and said "Awwwww yeah, I'd bend that fender!"

I need to be less of an Autoslut.

Nawww, man, you've got it all wrong!

It's like saying "I'd hit that." It doesn't mean you're going to literally punch a woman in the face!

But don't get me started on off-road racing. Oh yeaaaaah, get that dirt all over your chassis, you dirty, dirty car.

I'm partial to Firebirds. Specifically:

Third-gen Firebirds, particularly from '85 to '90. They got the body lines right in that year range - functional rear wing, good ground effects and a neat handsome front fascia - they got the drag coefficient down to 0.29 or thereabouts. '91 and '92 cars, YUCK, the banshee front clip is all sorts of wrong, and the '82-'84 cars only look okay if they got the full GFX package. I might be biased; see avatar, my avatar gallery and the fact that I've owned four (still got one) Firebirds in various trim levels.

And I actually have one of these. No idea which build number out of 1,550 it is though, someone told me (based off of the VIN) that it's ~200 or so.

My wife took the Turbo Trans Am to almost a hundred, so thread title definitely was in full effect. Both were sexy and fast for a brief span of time.

The fourth-gen F-body cars were better vehicles as far as quality was concerned, but gone was the individuality and soul that made the third-gen cars unique. Plus, I didn't like the feminine curvaceous lines on the later cars as much as the more utilitarian form-following-function lines that the third-gens had.

Oh - and Rally Racing is super duper cool. We need way more of it here in the States, because racing is lots more than going fast and turning left over and over again.

I think I prefer it the other way around. I have a friend who will go 110 in a 30 near her house.

So yeah, fast ladies.

ITT: People who haven't heard the phrase fast women.

No the best is fast women, sexy cars, and a fistful of cociane.

Mustangs. A convertible Mustang is first in my list of "Cars I would buy in two minutes if I had the money."

The others are a Chrysler, a Cadillac, an Impala, and a Thunderbird.

I'd take a blue LS1-powered 4th-gen Firebird Formula convertible, if I could find one, and give it to my wife so she can enjoy the wonders of TORQUE. Add on a rear-mount STS turbo kit and we're good to go.

@pvt: Speaking of Firebirds, wasn't the Ram-Air chassis of the '90s Firebird used in the '90s Chevrolet Camaro Z28?

Don't think so. You're talking the 4th-gen ones, right?

Camaros did have the better intake tract though. Firebirds, due to a lower hoodline, were sucking in air from down low, until the Ram Air induction came out (the shaker hood on the 2nd gen Trans Ams isn't too dissimiliar to a cowl induction hood, though). On my car (1989 TTA), I can watch my Inlet Air Temp reading (monitored via Scanmaster) climb to over 140 degrees at a stoplight, as my stock induction sucks in air from the engine bay. It drops to pretty much ambient once I'm moving, though. Heat extractors help alleviate that underhood heat problem, too.

Camaros took air in from the front fascia. They also tended to have cowl induction, which takes air that stacks up at the base of the windshield.

Yeah, 4th-gen Camaros.

Huh, the 4th-gen Firebirds and Camaros both use GM F-body platforms, according to That Other Wiki.
