Yes, we've still got the '04 GTO automatic. Four years and nothing but oil changes and air filters and, just last week, a power steering hose. I am spoiled for old '60's iron forever. Those LSx engines are the s#!t. You had a Cobra forever -- a 93 was it? When I first showed up in ramfm in 2000 I believe your namesake no-op 5.0 was already history. So the Cobra's ridden off into the sunset now too? What is your bad ride now? If it was me it'd be a '03-'04 Cobra, with a pulley. But that would be awfully non-no-op wouldn't it? |
