A 10 year old Tbird??!! LOL.

What a worthless post (including replies). Who cares. Does anybody care why I will never buy a Jap car? NO! Please wise up, not every thought needs to see the light of day.

Their is 25 yrs of new technology since his camero and your car. Try comparing a 67 Honda to a 67 Camero.

it is not hp that drives the vehicle, its Torque. Furthermore, you need to look at the T vs RPM curve. Then consider weight.

HP = (T*RPM) / (550*60/2/Pi)

It always amazes me to hear people speak of HP without taking into consideration the relationship to the torque that the engine produces and the RPM at which it does. I have a 2003 Mustang GT, my buddy was always bragging that his V6 has the same 260 HP. He stopped talking since we met on the road a few week ago. LOL

I'm referring to corporate and government fleets, not rental car companies. Most rental companies do not keep their vehicles more than a year. Fleets generally keep their units in service for five year or 300K, WOF.
