Exclamation thesis sentence help quick please

need to email my prof. a compare and contrast thesis by mid night how does this sound

Although there is great respect for the two true American late model muscle cars, the 2003 Ford Cobra and the Fourth generation GM F-body cars, there are also distinctions which allow each machine to stand on its own.

Fourth doesn't need to be capitalized. That's a pretty broad thesis. I understand a thesis has to be broad enough to cover a wide range of issues, but it should be a bit more specific than that.

Also, speaking from experience, professors hate it when they are reading about something they don't know about. Unless your professor is a car enthusiast, he probably wouldn't know what a F-body is. Maybe just mention Camaro and Firebird?

Does it have to be over this topic? You might run out of material depending on the length of said paper.

Your first statement doesn't really correspond with the last. IE: It isn't implied that they are compared as being one and the same when you say they are "respected as late model muscle cars". You could remove "the" before "two true" and your statement would be more clear, but the connection is still missing. I don't know if any of that helps but good luck.

Being a car enthusiast and writing about cars for an academic paper isn't always a good idea. Before we know it, we would all get technical.

Would be pretty funny to start mentioning cam sizes and flow numbers in your paper. Throw the professor way off.

yeah when writing any paper. you always write as if the audience has no knowledge of what you are talking about. But that would be funny if you got all technical.
