The scary part for me is your serious!
Ok, what's faster X-11 Citation FWD or my Chevette Scooter with nitrous. Oh, btw, my Chevette is a manual.

Oh god....I dunno. I wanna say the Fifth Avenue, mainly because it's a bit lighter, but who knows with cars like those.

I would have to give points to the Fifth Ave for having the 318, a longer lived and probably more reliable engine than the 307. Other than that, Chryslers of that era just plain suck with squeaks and rattles and clunky suspensions.

The rear-drive M-bodies were decent for their time... nothing impressive but nothing horrible. I can say though that the torqueflite 727 was damn near indestructible.

I love the interior in those 5th avenues, especially those seats. And the stand up pentastar hood ornament!

I wonder which one is slower. Maybe the 5th is because it's loaded down with all of that faux crystal. I still love those things though (and yes I do like the crystal.)

I had an 89 fifth avenue it was tripple black. I think it was around 20 k or so and totally loaded. But all in all it was a Dodge Diplomat with extra goodies.
