    LOL!!! And as far as the story... I thought he might have had a sub!

    I use to pull my ski boat with my old Z28. I had 10" turbine wheels on the rear. You could back 'em in about half way under water, power brake and get it way up in to 3rd gear... You talk about some rooster tails!!! I honestly wish I had some pics or a short vid of that!!!

It took a while to get up to 60mph, downhill. He would run it on the floor in 2nd for a mile plus sometimes to get up to speed, and up any grade in the expressway. He was a little nuts.
    lol sounds like the guy in Saginaw who used to tow his 40 scab with a short wheel base astro. He had to crank the tongue jack wheel down at the ramp so it would'nt wheelie.

    Yeah on a stone ramp + my viking puts no tounge weight on the truck wit the big ole johnson on the transom.

    At the ramp its all about traction.

    Ford just did some major restructuring that is why they are doing better. They only asked for $9B to be available in case the economy stays dead for too long. Wonder when the banks will loan money again.

    I see Bush bailed them out this AM.

    Why would Ford want to buy those losers and get stuck with the same UAW business destroying contracts? Ford is way too smart for that

    GM is 60bil in debt, they have no value.
