Figured as much.
Those NASA style intakes are not GM

Naca-ducts..if memory serves.

Watching velocity channel, Americarna, thinking the salt flat racers invented them. The smaller or narrower slots in the ports the more air they bring in.

Hey I'm not makist. I like them all, that ford is pretty darn sweet. I've always had a thing for the bigger trucks and have been drooling over some recently.

I'd drive one of these around just for fun! 1967 Chevy C60 Grain Truck with Hydraulic Dump

Did you see the state the Ford is in? It does look nice.
That C60 would be nice, just shorten it up and put a 8ft bed on it.

I've looked at that one several times. Price seems a little steep, but I'm not an expert.

 

[RustyHornet]

Holy cow. When my uncle dropped his Vette off earlier he said "take it out and have fun". Well I can't not take it around the block at least. My hands are shaking. Who knew, throw a couple turbos on a 350 and they become like a rocket! What fun! Sure it's old tech, but damn the old girl still scoots!

This in that old Ford would be fun.

Buddy of mine picked up a 02 S10 Blazer with an LS, it's a fun little ride.

I thought about an s10 with an LS as a daily before I got my Mazda 3.....

Military 5 ton

He had a turbo Mazda 3 (?) Before the Blazer. He likes fast stuff, I'll leave it at that.

This is an aero thing from aircraft.

Well yeah........what did you expect...

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect.

Boost rules.....boost is cool.

Boost rules.....boost is cool.

I don't recall ever driving anything with a turbo, let alone two turbos... I'm used to instant power when I stab the pedal. In fact, I just watched the first car I ever drove, drive off today under new ownership . Dad sold my mommas 2005 Impala SS supercharged today. Had that one since new, it was time to upgrade. She's getting a new 2016 Impala LTZ Midnight Edition. I'll miss the '05, but the new ones 3.6 NA v6 blows the doors off the 3.8 SC.

Heres the old one, literally parked it by the road and it wasn't out there an hour before it sold.



The new one (although I still struggle with a FWD Impala, these really are nice cars)...









Too nice for me and way too many fancy gadgets, but momma needs a reliable vehicle.

 

[churchmouse]

Wow.......I drive trucks. If it is a car then it is an older muscle car. I get claustrophobic in these new cars.

That is a nice looking car.
