I'm just curious why you're such an asshole to anyone that doesn't agree with you?

You know, Jayson hit the nail right on the head. Unlike a Mustang my LeBaron isn't a "me too" car. In 1989 they only made 1,033 hardtop LeBaron GTCs with the Turbo II. Of those 1,033 only 96 of them had California emissions. Sadly I can't break the production numbers down to options and trim. However, the point is that my car is pretty damn rare. I never said my car was better, nicer, or faster than the Mach 1. However, stock my last GTC ran 14.6 @ 98 MPH. Last time I checked, that isn't far off your times.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk when I said there wasn't anything special about the car I was just stating my opinion. I guess I must have hit a sore spot?
