Beaten on this, but there was only ever one answer to this question.
Cool vs. fast. This time around, cool wins.
It was street legal. Streetable? Street-usable? Hmm... not so much.
I had a Thunderbird SC. I love the Thunderbird SC. I think it's one of the great underappreciated performance cars of all time, an epic failure by Ford's marketing department, and a hidden gem that must be driven to be understood.
Charger, in a heartbeat. The Charger is like the natural D cup while the Superbird is the "augmented" one. No vinyl roof covering the plastic surgery scars, and the sleek lines of the Charger complemented the wing and nosecone much better than the boxy Road Runner did.
I've seen it tried with many kilos. Like, "pack the tire" amounts of kilos.
You shut your mouth. Lahlahlahlahlah, I can't hear you, the F40 is perfect, driving an F40 would bring me fulfillment and allow me to discover the true meaning of the universe and women would want me and men would want to be me and there's nothing better in the world other than maybe a GT40 or a Miura,…
That's got to be the fondest story I've ever heard about a K-car.
I don't know if it exactly fits the question, but I'm always surprised when I read other people's opinions of Panther-platform Fords. I've driven probably 15-20 different Crown Vics of various model years, and I have never been impressed at all. They're bloated, anemic, understeering, numb, floaty, gutless, boring…
Your bottom suggestion is the winner. Don't worry about making it undetectable, because you can't. If they want to find it bad enough they'll find it. Just worry about making it so hideously inconvenient that they don't want to expend the effort.
Anyone paranoid about tipping off the fuzz in this thread: I can assure you firsthand that the law enforcement community already knows about each and every one of these tricks.
The problem you run into with the tire technique is, now you have a tire that's *wildly* out of balance.
I said it yesterday and I'll say it today: if you voted Chevelle over Thunderbolt we can't be friends. If for no other reason, because race car. The precedent has been established that this is a valid reason for everything.
And I'll sell mine and use the money toward a Thunderbolt.
"Sheep in wolf's clothing" had to have a matchup. Don't worry, neither will make the Sweet 16.
The Mav suffered from its era. Small, light, RWD... good formula, but it showed up just when the Federal Buzzkill Administration busted up the musclecar party. A Maverick with a Boss 351 in it? Would've been epic.
Anyone who votes Chevelle over T-Bolt can't be my friend anymore.
Clearly, [49.xx] % of the commentariat has never driven a Thunderbird SC. It's fantastic.
