Don't forget the other struggle... parking... I want a large inside capable of holding five adults comfortably...

I couldn't even make it into the backseat of a bmw 1 series sober... made it drunk somehow though

Oh yeah... other side note about the one series... my head hits the ceiling whenever it goes over a freaking pothole

The 4.6 in the crown vic was indestructible, hence why they were soo great. Plus the body on frame design as well. Though i don't think the new taurus interceptor will be nearly as reliable nor sturdy as the crown vic has been proven to be.

Though i know the new charger will be coming out for the police, and Chevrolet has brought back the caprice for police only use! The caprice will have a 6.2L (or 6.0/ i forget) w/ 350hp and around the same for torque. Plus it'll be rear wheel drive!

About 1/2 a person sounds about right lol or one person my size

the SOHC 4.6 has definately been a dependable thing and if you want straight beefy for a 4.6 you step up to a DOHC

Actually rear wheel drive is one of the things that they are trying to do away with agaik... much as I love it from time to time, its a major pain the @$$ during winter.

The car I posted the pic of, also had god forsaken traction control which I forgot to turn off on occasion.... drove me insane.

@Rainfade - I guess about a 1/3rd of me would fit ok

Now back so-so years ago I fit quite comfortably into a lotus. Daily I had to bring it into the car dealership at day end as it was too valuable to leave outside at night.
Now, admittedly I'm a wee bit bigger now I wouldn't mind trying another one out for fit.
Who is offering to let me try it ?
It might take most of a tank of fuel to make a good determination though.

^^^Basically this is how I feel when it comes to small cars:


...and I have ripped a pair of pants because of a small car in the past

Here's my beast.

I'm in the black t-shirt. 2 days after I bought it 4500.


I live in England but I swear left hand drive is so much safer.

Seeing as we drive on the left I can get as close to things as I want. Considering its wide that's a good thing too.

Plus if I crash the passenger gets most of it.

I think the 5.7 is a 350.

Lol, it's true though, small block chevy.

And to be honest our road / parking spaces don't suit it, I have a hell of a time with parking.

But I do know for a fact that this is the only one in my county (State for americans)

True, but compared to the many cars in the 1 to 2 liter range, the camaro would seem big. Though stock, they didn't produce too much power

A fair bit of torque though, anyway the sound makes up for the lack of power
