Got to drive a 73 454 coupe on monday.
 

Wow what a neat car. The way it shakes and rattles. The stiff clutch and loose steering. The way the chrome shifter burns your hand when you shift. After driving my zee all day. Its fun to drive something like this thats raw and hard edged. The only other shark I have driven previously was a highly modded 70 LT1. One of these day I hope to have a metal bumper shark. :cool: :thumbs:

There is defenitely something to be said for the feeling of classic construction and power like the BB C3's can deliver. It may not be smooth and clean but there is nothing like it. :auto:

They are defintely a fun car to drive. Not quite the luxery of a modern sports car but then again I guess you trade that for the classic lines and reputation of oneof the baddest muscle cars ever! :thumbs:

Classic Construction :lol: C-3's are notorious for some of the POOREST build quality of any car ever built.....I still Love them dearly though

Well, I wouldn't just say C3's, pretty much anything from GM in that era was of POOR quality. Nice to see that Ford took over that spot with the Explorer Sport.
:rant: My Explorer Sport is 3 years old, and has cost me almost $5000 in repairs, and now the CHECK ENGINE idiot light is on, as well as the brake light always being on now, no I didn't leave the parking brake on :lol: :lolg: I just bought my wife a Pontiac Vibe, which will be the last domestic I EVER buy. The only reason I even considred the Vibe, is that the powertrain is from Japan out of the Matrix. I've owned many cars over the years and can say with confidence that Toyota and Honda are the only companies I'll buy from in the future.

End of Rant... :lolg: Sometimes I really hate cars, just sometimes. I hate getting on rants like this, but I jsut can't afford the costs of having a domestic as a daily driver anymore. :bb
