I was looking for a Boss 302 v Holden from GM's Aztek Division and could not find a video. Then I realized the Boss Laguna Seca does not have a back seat, making the filming of a race with a Holden impossible. But as a car for your wife, the GTO probably has a lot of usable trunk space

I did find a video with a stock GT, that will have to suffice ... even though the Mustang driver bogged the launch and must have had a 3.15 rear axle. Despite those deficits, the inevitable occurred.

GTO 6.0 vs 2011 Mustang 5.0 - YouTube

(just kidding, I'm like Ferris Bueller. I've got nothing that runs at the moment ... sold the toys this spring & don't even have an airplane any more I'm enormously fond of your very nice ride )

Thanks for the compliments! That's not what happens when I race new 5.0's in the Goat ;). The GTO in that video, while a nice color choice, needs a driver mod next . I wonder what if any mods those cars had?

With that said, the new mustangs are really nice cars! Honestly I'm a closet mustang fan as I've owned 2 of them, a 94 GT 5.0 and a 98 4.6 GT.

Btw I just picked up a another toy with future roadster plans ahead.
Here's a hint,

SOLBRA - Professional Pontiac Solstice V8 Conversions

Is that the turbo version of the Solstice?

Priceless!

Take comfort that at least our code share partners are doing well in Europe and Asia. As I enjoy another month of reserve ...

Lol, that's just an excerpt, AirFranceKLM traffic and capacity is up everywhere except for a small dip in capacity in Africa mostly due to the Egypt uprisings.

here are the numbers:

Americas: RPM +12.2% ASM +10.8%
Asia: RPM +9.7% ASM +9.4%
Africa: RPM +2.9% ASM -1.3%
Caribbean: RPM +6.4% ASM +4.7%
Europe: RPM +9.5% ASM +7.4%

Cheers
George

P.S. The silver lining is we should see an increase in our Bundle 1 flying for next Summer because of the rolling average ESKMs.

No I didn't go with the turbo model since I wont be keeping a 4 cylinder longterm, I just found a great price on one and picked it up as the platform to build on. I bought it stock, you'll see in that pic though I've done a couple minor mods already to the outside to better suit me, limo tint to match the top, painted the calipers and (not shown) since replaced the stock antenna to an Opel antenna which is shorter and looks 100X better.

So when does the SC V-8 go in? Sure they can't squeeze in a V-10 from a viper?

Itll be a while I'm still tinkering with the GTO so the solstice is more for running around and will double as an extra car for now. The weather is just getting right here in Texas for dropping the top too :D. I don't know if a v10 will fit cause the SC ls9 is a tight squeeze as is. Plus you have to worry about the tranny length etc. Almost all the conversions use an L model V8 and t56 6 speed manual which is perfect. Honestly I don't want a supercharger, I prefer to keep it normally aspirated like I did with my GTO. Traction is an issue if you get too crazy with the hp lol. so a stroked ls2/3 would be all I'd want in this, which would be more than enough in this size car. I've got almost 500 to the wheels in my GTO and that's with a stroked Ls2 and that kind of power in any street car is enough to get the adrenaline pumping :D

And here I thought I was fully acronym compliant. What in the hell is an ESKM?
