yes there where to f-bodies. the firebird and camaro. sorry aboot the spelling. i had a 1984 berlenetta ( spelling ) and the trans went out on it i was coming home from work and i had to come home in 2nd. but that can happen to any car. the previous owner rebuilt the engine everything edelbrock. it could turn some tires but i was getting 12-14 with it. even when i wasnt flooring it. so it depends on the driver, equipment used, and build specs. but the best car that i have owned so far is the contour. been the most reliable, best gas milage, nice looking, and cheapest on insurance . i have other cars and trucks to do the same. but for the money, show quality and fun...i choose the contour. its just like a go-kart. but the best one that i have ever driven was a 1975 bmw 2002. but thats a whole other story. everyone has the own preference.
