This is where you get to see photos of cars I've taken over the years.
Today’s car of the day is this Chevy Camaro SS that was modified to look like a Pontiac Trans Am, and I saw it at the 2013 Daytona Spring Show. This is from the fifth generation, which was made between March of 2009 and November of 2015 (model years between 2010 and 2015). The engine is the LS3, which is a 6.2 liter V8 that produces 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 6-speed automatic.

It’s from the fifth generation, which was made between March of 2009 and November of 2015 (model years between 2010 and 2015). The engine of this one is a 3.6 liter LTT V6 that produces 312 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 6-speed automatic.
Today’s car of the day is this Dodge Challenger SRT8 that was at the 2013 Daytona Spring Show. This is from the third generation, which has been in production since 2008. The engine is a 6.1 liter Hemi V8 that produces 425 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 6-speed manual.
Today’s car of the day is this Mustang II Ghia that was at the 2013 Daytona Spring Show. The Mustang II is the second generation of the Mustang, which was made between 1973 and 1978 (model years between 1974 and 1978). The engine of this one is a 2.8 liter Cologne V6 that produces 105 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic. This car does 0-60 mph in 12.9 seconds and has a top speed of 99 mph. The reason why the Mustang II wasn’t as powerful as its predecessor is because of the oil crisis of 1973, which caused automakers to build smaller and fuel efficient vehicles. The Mustang was one of many vehicles affected by this. The Mustang II also shares the same platform as the Ford Pinto.
Today’s car of the day is this ’84 Mustang Anniversary Edition GT350 that I saw in town yesterday. This is from the third generation of the Mustang, which was made between 1978 and 1993 (model years between 1979 and 1993). This version of the GT350 was only made for 1984 to commemorate the Mustang’s 20th anniversary, and a total of 5,260 were built. The engine of this one is a 2.3 liter turbocharged straight-4 that produces 145 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, and 350 ’84 GT350s had this engine. The transmission is a 5-speed manual. This car does 0-60 mph in 8.6 seconds and has a top speed of 121 mph.
Today’s car of the day is this this ‘58 Corvette that was in town yesterday. This is from the C1 generation, which was made between 1953 and 1962.

This car does 0-60 mph in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 113 mph. 
Today’s car of the day is this ‘65 Mustang that was at the 2013 Daytona Spring Show. This is from the first phase of the first generation, which was made between March of 1964 and July of 1966. The engine of this one is a 3.3 liter Thriftpower straight-6 that produces 120 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of this one is a 3-speed manual. This car does 0-60 mph in 11.2 seconds and has a top speed of 102 mph.
Today’s car of the day is this ‘85 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z that was at the 2013 Daytona Spring Show. It’s from the third generation of the Camaro, which was made between October of 1981 and August of 1992 (model years between 1982 and 1992). The IROC-Z was introduced in 1985. The engine of this one is a 5 liter V8 that’s been modified, but I’m not sure how powerful it is. The transmission of this one is a 5-speed manual.
Today’s car of the day is this ’76 Pontiac Trans Am that was at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach. This is from the second generation, which was made between 1970 and 1981.
