Newer G Machines
I am new to this forum. I've watched it for a few weeks before I registered. I don't see much mention of newer G machines. I have an '01 Formula with numerous imporvements but I don't see many comments concerning newer cars. Even stock, LSx's have more power then many built or crate, old style small or even big blocks. Tightening up the chassis with a few bolt on's make these cars drive like a Corvette. I would like to hear from a few more late model owners. Don't get me wrong, you can't beat a nice '69 Camaro but I'm to the age where a few creature comforts as well as plenty of power and cornering ability are appreciated. Let's hear from some of you late model owners.

I think the reason is because the early model cars did not take cornering into account in the design. Your Formula had that as part of the design perameter. This really boils down to what your definition of pt really is.

I have an unlimited budget. That bad part is I have already used it up.

Blackbird,
With the proper modification and intent, late models can definitely be g-Machines. I own a '01 SS and share your enthusiasm for late models, especially 4th generation F-bodies. These are great cars and many of our members own a late model performer as a daily driver or just as another hot rod, in addition to their classic Pro-Touring or g-Machine car. Since this site is focused mainly on older muscle cars, late model discussions aren't as prominent as their predecessors, but none the less, the owners are still present and still participate, and we hope you will as well. Welcome to the site.
