What are some 'neat' features of our cars

Hello, I'm wondering what everyone consider's 'neat' features on our F-bodys. I love the T-56. Seems like such overkill, but works fricken wonderfully. Can hold lots of power and take lots of abuse.

What else do you love about the modern F-body?

Sometimes the T-56 don't always survive the abuse. Especially powershifting with DR's at the track.

I love how mine works like a champ till it breaks. It breaks every three months, no joke. It's broke now!

I like the t-tops no other car has it
The satisfaction that it is the third most powerful domestic production car next to the viper and vett.

Re: What are some 'neat' features of our cars

How people that have never owned them have no friggin clue about them.

95 5.0...
All torque no top end...
Why don't you advance the timing (He meant cam timing- yeah, like I need more traction issues)
That things got one of those really wierd distributors that costs 1000 bucks (dude was talking about LT1s and didn't know I had one. Sucka!)
You can get headers for that for like 100 bucks. (Yeah, sure, let me cut some space out of my fenderwells so they'll fit!- maybe someday he'll realize headers are vehicle specific...)

I'm sure there's more stories out there. I have lots of others about how my car left me stranded, almost got me smushed by a cement truck, etc..

Supra's had them for awhile, and Mustangs did too.

I love the "Kill a mustang" feature. Just get next to a mustang to activate it, and floor the gas pedal to start it.
