Cheverolet camaro one of my best car but i prefer the old model

For fifty years, Chevrolet's Camaro has been the car of choice for hot rodders and amateur racers. It has provided a skeleton for engine transplants, bodywork for outlandish paint, and the canvas on which road racers project their Mark Donohue dreams. But no one has capitalized on the platform's flexibility more than Chevy itself.

Just look at the new Camaro ZL1. Judge this book by its cover. It's all splitters, scoops, spoilers, and shouting exhausts. It has big fenders only partially shrouding enormous Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires—of a construction not offered anywhere else—in sizes of 285/30ZR20 up front and 305/30ZR20 in the rear. I'll save you the math—that's over 11 inches of rubber width in front and 12 in the rear.

The grille opening is not just huge; it's joined by other scoops and ducts needed to route cooling to a total of 11 heat exchangers throughout—for the engine, supercharger, oil, coolant, transmission, and so on.

But there's an important backstory. Shortly after the 2007-2008 financial crisis, General Motors' top management loosened the reins, giving engineering freedom to worship the performance gods. Cadillac V-series cars, Corvettes, and Camaros have been genuine hits more often than not since that period, and this latest ZL1 hits the mark.

Powered by 6.2-liters of supercharger, intercooler, direct-injected "LT4" V8 (shared with the Corvette Z06), the numbers boggle the mind. With 650hp (484kW) and 650lb-ft (881Nm) of torque, it's the most powerful Camaro ever, and that includes the halcyon muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. Indeed, the original ZL1—an all-aluminum Camaro from 1969, produced in minuscule numbers in order to homologate for various racing activities—would never stand a chance against the new ZL1. (That old ZL1 engine made an official 430hp (320kW) at 5,200rpm, but that dyno sheet ran shy of about another 2,000 usable and critical rpm.)

Reliable sources—folks who have built authentic old ZL1s in recent years and gone to the trouble of dyno testing them as they'd have been raced in 1969 with headers, maxed ignition, and open air cleaners—have netted anywhere from 550 to 575 hp (410-428 kW). But that's using race gas and without accessory drives running. The new one makes its 650hp fully dressed, air conditioning running without so much as a tick of overheating or threat of gasket failure. One other thing: that 1969 Camaro ZL1 engine option cost more than the base price of the car itself: $4,160 for the engine, $2,727 for the rest of the car.

Yes, the oldsters in the crowd will always look at the muscle car craze and the 1969 ZL1 through rose-tinted helmet visors, but the new car works brilliantly everywhere—even in traffic—not just on the dragstrip. The only downsides are the turret-like view out the side, plus a back seat that could be more accurately described as a torture device. In coupe form, it even offers surprisingly useable trunk space; the convertible carries less luggage, can't be ordered with the same electronic limited-slip differential, and weighs an extra 230 pounds (145kg).

I’m guessing this thing is fast, right?

Despite the crass petrolhead horsepower worship, the ZL1 does actually advance the automotive art forward. The optional ten-speed automatic transmission (61lbs/28kg heavier) operates arguably better than the six-speed manual. Not because it has four more gear ratios but because even with a torque converter, it shifts quicker than any human and quicker than Porsche's PDK twin-clutch transmission. Full-throttle upshifts go by in under 100 milliseconds. General Motors and Ford actually worked together to develop this Hydra-Matic. For the ZL1, it's significantly strengthened in Ford Mustang duty to cope with the ZL1's obscene torque. It can even skip down multiple gears at once.

Results? Zero to 60mph in 3.5 seconds. The standing quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds, when it scowling by at 127mph (204km/h). Top speed? An official 198mph, but I'm pretty certain a second Chevrolet test will net 200 actual mph. Oh, and it can corner at over 1G.
But can a 3,900lb (1,769kg) car handle well at all? Actually, yes. Specially calibrated magnetorheological dampers sample road input every millisecond, changing their fluid viscosity instantaneously through magnetic charging. (Normal high-performance shocks use oil that courses through a passageway—often pin-drilled orifices in tunable discs block a tube—to limit flow and therefore damper shaft travel and velocity.)

The ZL1's performance play includes the bodywork, too. Front fenders widen the body by 0.6 inches (16mm) per side. The huge grille helps prevent a meltdown. An aluminum hood uses a removable blank that allows greater underhood air extraction at the track plus a carbon-fiber insert for looks and lightness. That rear wing balances out downforce to about 150lbs (68kg) at top speed. And a redesigned rear bumper caps it all off.

With this level of performance, a base price of $64,235 (including gas guzzler tax and destination charge)—or $68,225 as tested with the 10-speed paddle-shift automatic, performance data recorder, carbon-fiber hood insert, and navigation—seems like a relative bargain.

It all adds up to a multi-talented track ringer, one that's at home in a straight line or a curvy bend, but also bringing home the milk and cookies. It's the opposite bookend to the Bolts and Volts driving Chevy's alt-fuel push. Performance yin to the electric yang.

It's catnip for track rats.

Okay. Let's get a little bit weird now. Thoughts just came into my head...

When, where and how did you get your first orgasm? How did it feel?

Tell us whether you felt good, guilty or freaked out. Was it through masturbation or sex?

Just excite us with details

Waiting for Suitable partner

Wizeboy:
Marriage refers to the mutual relationship ordained by Allah for the believers as an act of worship between two people who love, trust, care, understand and respect each other for the sake of Allah; so as to attain jannah, procreate children, fulfill their sexual desires, unite and enjoy companionship forever with its continuation in paradise
in shaa Allah.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Three matters should not be delayed: prayer when its time comes, burial when the funeral has arrived, and the marriage of a single woman when a well-suited man has proposed.” [Tirmidhi]


Why should you delay marriages then?
The Prophet (pbuh) addressed the youths encouraging them to get married as soon as they are capable of shouldering the responsipility of marriage saying:
“O youth! Whoever amongst you is able to marry, let him marry, because it helps him keep his eyes away from lustful looks and preserve his chastity. And whoever is not able to marry, let him observe fasting, as it is a shield for him (i.e. protection from lapsing in fornication).” [Agreed Upon]

Early marriage doesn’t mean that the spouses could be not mature and responsible, the Qur’an hints saying:
“If you find them of sound judgement.” (An-Nisa': 6) That means puberty or marriageable age is not enough to be qualified for marriage. If a son is capable to run a household life and he is able to maitain mentally, psychologically and financially and everything of his wife, then early marriage is the only way to keep our children away from haram.

Marriage is a great tradition of the Prophet (SAW). Brothers and sisters in Islam, why are you still single? Are you not tired of having wet dreams and staring at the opposite (non-mahram) gender?

Is it financial issue? Money is not an enough excuse for you because some companions were almost penniless as at the time they married. Allah promises to enrich
married couples from his bounties. If unemployment is your excuse? Allah promises to make a way for you from sources that you couldn't have imagined.

Is it tribalism? Allah said He created us from a single pair of male and female and made us into nation and tribes so that we may know each other.

Is it your fear of heartbreak? [/b]The prophet said; what hit you couldn't have missed you and what missed you couldn't have hit you.

[b]Is it because you dislike early marriage and you want to graduate from school before marriage? Allah said: "Perhaps you dislike a thing but in reality it's good for you and perhaps you love a thing but In reality it's bad for you"

Is it because you want to have your own car/house first? The Prophet said: whoever trust Allah sincerely, Allah will provide for him just the way He provides for the birds who go out in the morning empty and return home satisfied.

Dear single brothers and sisters, what then is your excuse and why have you refused to marry? Don't you believe in the words of Allah and the sayings of the Prophet?

Trust in Allah and get married irrespective of your situation once you met the right brother/sister. Allah said: "Has the time not come for the believers that their hearts should be affected by the Qur'an and to embrace the truth which has been revealed" -(Surah hadeed:16)

Once a person reaches puberty, he naturally starts getting inclined to the other gender, because he/she has feelings and emotions running through the veins and hearts which has to be fulfilled either through the halal way or haram way.

Some people are born with high level of shahwa (sexual desire) while some have low hawa. This is why you see today in primary and secondary schools, small children now go to the bushes and uncompleted buildings to have haram fun (zina and its preliminaries). On valentines day, that's the day of zina especially in tertiary institutions.

If every family follows Qur'anic injunctions in conjunction with the sunnah of the Prophet and forms the habit of giving out their children or encourage their children to marry as soon as they are mature emotionally and a male child is financially buoyant, then many people will be married with their chastity intact.

Another thing that increases temptation in people is all these TV and western media we watch everyday. It's part of the agenda of the unbelievers to create a Godless society where people will now fornicate like chickens, that's why they entice through their movies with lots of
romantic scenes and this is what corrupts young minds today; may Allah protect us.

“Early marriage is recommended as long as the requirements of marriage are met including the ability of each of the spouses to fulfill his marital duties and protect his/her partner against temptation. The husband should also be able to shoulder the financial responsibilities at the sufficiency level. There is no specific age for marriage according to Shari`ah but the criterion is the capability of both spouses.”

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, is time to access yourself properly and marry that brother/sister you have found compatible in order to complete the other half of your deen and earn reward from Almighty Allah who prescribe marriage to all Muslim.

ToriBlue:
People cheat for different reasons.


Did you ask her why she cheated on you?


If you know why she cheated, then you will know how to forgive her.

HayatH:
Most people who say they're going to kill themselves if you leave them are lying. She hurt you so why hell are u still with her? She's the one who hurt you and yet she's the one who's calling the shots? Lol she betrayed your trust, so there's only one thing you can do. Leave her. If you stick around, you'll never get healed. You can't be around toxic people. Sit her down and tell her calmly that it's over... If she threatens you, walk away. My friend has been in this situation before and it's not healthy.

Benita27:
If you can't deal with a partner who cheated then move on.

Is not by force, she won't kill herself and like AlexCk said, she's emotionally blackmailing you.
