High Road is a 2011 American improvised comedy film directed by Matt Walsh, who co-wrote it with Josh Weiner. The film surrounds a young man whose loyalties are torn between his band, girlfriend, and dealing weed. Attempting to elude arrest after a drug bust, he is accompanied by his teenage runaway neighbor. It stars James Pumphrey, Abby Elliott, Dylan O'Brien, and Rob Riggle. It also premiered at the 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival, where for Matt Walsh's directing, it won an honor for Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking.[1]

Paid $4,400 for my 2003 Mustang GT. That’s less than 17 dollars per hp.

@@angelgjr1999 An old Porsche Cayenne turbo of about the same model year is actually one of the better cars you can buy in this metric, with plenty of examples easily below 17 dollars per hp for sale. Now, the running costs, parts cost and reliability are another matter entirely...

[@angelgjr1999]

@@GoldenCroc Yes. It’s the repair costs that’ll screw you with European imports. You’d shit yourself if you found out how much basic maintenance costs on Porsches and Mercedes. Hint(costs more than I paid for my car).

[@GoldenCroc]

@@angelgjr1999 Yep, I am well aware of the cost of such things. For one thing, I own two of the cars I previously mentioned. I Wouldnt recommend owning such old highly complex cars unless you have the ability and knowledge to do all the work yourself (as I do) and have some need for a capability they have that isnt availible in something more reliable. I like how you called them "imports", for me its vice versa since I am located in europe, heh. Cheers.

[@angelgjr1999]

@@GoldenCroc Yeah. My Mustang has an old school iron block V8, that comes from an F-150 (a mid size pickup truck). Very basic engine and easy to work on. Mine has 150k miles and still runs great. Gas mileage is about 18.4 city which is not bad for a V8 coupe. I know mustangs are starting to get popular in Europe.

I'd love to have a Rivian for it's power and versatility but having 420HP from a N/A gas V8 is still pretty good! Living in the snowbelt makes having a truck more practical. I also went for the most horsepower GM provides which contradicts your belief that trucks aren't bought for power.

I was wondering where the Camaros were on the list, then they just topped it at the end. Very cool 😎

[@anirbano]

The 6th gen Camaros are such a gem and a shame that it's struggled so much with sales. Not only do they have the most hrsprs/$ but they also have the best handling out of the muscle cars, also have the most stunning futuristic concept-like design for the price AND they have all the modern-day tech you could need with a 2LT trim. What more could you want? I feel bad for Chevy. Because of the underwhelming response, they are killing off the Camaro.

[@jman6970]

If the sixth generation Camaro is “such a gem” as you say, we wouldn’t be talking about how the platform flopped. To begin, you complimented its looks. They’re controversial at best, with the majority of people holding a negative opinion. In terms of classification, it is in line with a sports car. The Challenger and Charger are regarded as being among the last muscle cars. The Camaro platform handles well and the LS is capable of putting down power, but GM hasn’t innovated beyond that in years. It’s the equivalent of GM releasing a refresh of the C7 instead of the C8. People get bored when they’re presented with the same product every year. Not to mention poor visibility, a dated interior and a higher comparative cost across the lineup.

[@anirbano]

@@jman6970 You took the time to write a long comment but I don't think you've done enough research or have any first hand experience. Word of mouth is usually pretty crappy about the Camaros I've noticed. You're talking about no innovation since LS, fr? 6th gen doesn't even have a LS motor. They provided 3 different motor options and ALL of them were new innovations and extremely capable in their class. I'll talk about their new V6 motor, the LGX, because that's what I have. It's extremely capable and holds it's own against most NA V8s at the time it came out and even today, atleast from 0-120mph, so basically until the only thing that matters is raw HP. The only V8 it couldn't compete with was it's own big brother. It even goes neck and neck with a 5th gen V8 Camaro. Now for design, yes it has moved away from the classic muscle car look and has embraced sports car features and I've noticed majority of oldies and muscle car nerds don't like this. But with just a few cosmetic mods, I've personally gotten tons of compliments from regular people and car enthusiasts and I believe it's largely due to the shape, stance and bodylines of the car, which makes it stand apart from most cars on the road. It's not a 'Oh cool car' compliment like most modded cars, more like 'Oh man that's beeeautiful'. Personally I think it's very rare for a $30k car. Now for interior, it is a BIG step up from 5th gen and I've gotten compliments about that as well, because it does look cool at first look. It is no BMW or Mercedes in interior design and especially materials, but you can barely complain when you get the same HP as twice the price tag from those brands. 90% of Camaro owners don't have problem with visibility after owning it for a while and especially since 6th gen offers blind spot monitor. Most supercars have bad visiblity and it's almost part of an experience, so personally I think people need to stop comparing the visibility of Camaro with bellybutton cars.

[@jman6970]

@@anirbano My apologies, *LT platform. I grew up in my Dad’s hotrod shop, “LS” is force of habit. Regarding experience, I appreciate you making assumptions but you are incorrect. My brother had a 2019 ZL1 and recently sold it for a Redeye. I sold my GT350 last year for a 21 GT500. I also had a 2014 GT years back. I’m glad you’re happy with your V6 Camaro. A big consideration for my purchases is based on performance over looking the part, so I always opt for a V8. That being said, your 3.6L is down nearly 100 horsepower from the 5th generation Camaro and my former 2014 Coyote while weighing (very) roughly the same, so you either have hella driver mod or something isn’t adding up here. I will refer back to my original statement on looks, as I seem to share my sentiment with the majority of others in that it is subjectively unappealing compared to the previous generation and other options. And no, “supercars” are no excuse for the Camaro having poor visibility. It is bad. This is an extremely common complaint. And again, the interior is also pretty bad. Not even by foreign luxury standards as you mentioned, but in general. Definitely a step up from the 5th generation though. It’s not like I want the Camaro to die, but this isn’t the first time GM has lost track of what consumers want. If you enjoy your car, rock it. There’s need to defend your opinion. If you ever get the chance to move up to a V8 though, my two cents is that it’d be worth it if you like horsepower and noise. 😉

[@anirbano]

@@jman6970 Yes I'll definitely go for a V8 next time because I want to experience it. Now I've become more a car person, so I literally want to experience all kinds of popular motor configurations. But I'm truly happy with my V6 purchase, because it made sense for me financially, plus at that time I had no desire for a V8. After being in this space for a while, I truly believe this is the best NA V6 money can buy, performance and sound wise. It is completely overlooked by car community because of the existence of V8 Camaros. As for things not adding up with 5th gen Camaro SS being 100hp over 6th gen Camaro V6 but being equal in race, I'm sure you would've seen plenty of examples where the HP number from the factory alone is not the deciding factor between different cars, so nothing too crazy to add up here. But I appreciate your thoughtful exchange 👍

[@EjinRenos]

This has always been a poor measurement that started with some cars that needed this kinda flex despite being lackluster. I think a better measurement would be 0 to 60 per dollars. Or dollars per second. Because we all know doesn't matter the horsepower you got if you lose to a "weaker" car.

[@nathaniel5157]

0-60 is an overrated measurement as well but you do have a point

[@EjinRenos]

@@nathaniel5157 I agree to an extent. But my point of the matter is there has been cars with 400hp losing to cars with 310hp only for both to lose to a heavier V6 powered 300hp car. Horsepower ratings just ain't all that in that kind of retrospect.

[@GoDsSoN770]

The LT1 would still win. There isn't another car that runs 4 seconds 0-60, and mid to low 12s in the quarter mile for $35K (price is increasing $1800 for the 2023 models.).
