Wouldn't it be nice if they were all to come out with a five litre engine and resurrect the Trans Am series. Mosport is only about 25 miles away. I'd be there to watch in a "heart beat".

That's the best idea yet!!!
As a kid I grew up a few miles down the road from Mosport and used to wake up weekend mornings to the sounds of cars lapping the track!.
I used to try and concentrate on the sound of one car at a time and listen carefully until I could tell where they were on the track from their shifting and revs!.

Well, I'm a Chevy guy too.......but of the 'old' Chevy. That's not even the same company anymore and Ford most certainly has been leading the way for a long time now for faster, superior hi-performance factory offerings. Like the elephant in the room, people tend to forget that they actually stopped making Camaros and Firebirds entirely after 2002 because EVERYBODY was buying Mustangs. How can any Musclecar fan not be impressed by some of the Mustangs of the last 8 or so years: Mach 1's with Shaker hoods, Bullitt models, the &quot;Terminator&quot; Cobras of 2003-04, Rousch 'Stangs, and finally the awesome Shelby GT500's that get better and better every year, the recent return of the 5.0, and now this sure-to-be-hit.....the Boss 302! It seems like every time Chevy EVEN THINKS about making an upcoming high-horsepower press-release or announcement that Ford immediately comes out with a higher figure.
