    Little late to the car party but ....Not a classic (yet), but here is my Camar0 SS Fifty (50th anniversary edition). 6 Spd maual, launch control , no lift shift, 455Hp, 455 Lb ft torque. Has the factory muffler bypass valves too.

    First Pic taken at the dealer the day I bought it in Jan 2017. Then, because it was winter and snowy they delivered it on a flat bed (2nd pic), never even touched the snow.

    What is the NBA sized backboard whithout a hoop over the garage door?
    It looks to be a bit too high for a regulation 10 foot.

    I get it...

    But it simply isn't.

    Just like your VF500F isn't a VFR500.

    True, although no VFR500 exists that I've ever heard of.
