All depreciation tells you is how many people want to buy it used. Your whole theory is based on the people buying cars being rational, which they aren’t. If people bought the rational car, there would be a lot more wagons, minivans and hatchbacks and less crossovers, SUV’s and pickups on the road. Some cars retain…

Maybe they added a hitch to the other end and made the worlds first sport trailer. All the pedigree of Alfa, in trailer form.

It seems to me like Celebrity Brain Crash was a middle finger at the BBC, I cant imagine anyone checked off on it thinking it would be anything other than painful. I liked the idea of the American as an antithesis of the Stig, I think they just forgot to make it funny. Either way, they show will likely be better to…

I have a feeling the knobs are on a printed circuit, much like the mechanism that drives the touchscreen

Are you talking the LT1 like was in Camaros before the LS or the engine pictured above?

The estimated hp was based on where the filter fell off the power curve of no air filter, so for the most part if your engine makes under 640 hp anything in the top ten is going to make roughly the same power as no filter.

From the sounds of it a lot of the cars are stock, but I agree the engine is probably pretty stressed to make the power it does for its size.

The RS seems to be having quite an issue with head gaskets blowing, although when I think any car made after the mid 90s blowing a head gaskets Subaru does come to mind.

I havent heard of anyone intentionally adding scrub to the front end on a race car to increase steering feel. It often gets increased because you fitted wider wheels or increased the front track width for grip. Honestly I wouldn’t worry, that front kingpin location is closer to what you would expect on a double…

I had a 99 dohc2 liter neon and that car took a beating and is delivering Jimmy John’s sandwiches at least 2 owners later. IIused to shift at about 5500 rpm banging through the gears and replaced three from motor mounts. I loved it and I think many people who hated them had the three speed automatic. It has quirks,…

Was going to say something along these lines but you beat me to it.

What if there were a way to control the speed at which your car accelerates? What’s that you say, it’s been on almost every car ever made? Seriously if you have no ability to modulate the accelerator pedal, than maybe driving isn’t for you. If you lack the restraint, then it is for you.

I saw another article where they said he was thrown out for being the instigator. Either way, it looked like the ref was reaching for the flag right when Green went in for the kill, so he may have already had a personal foul coming his way. I wish football had a rule like hockey where the 3rd person in a fight is…

I wonder if it was more a factor of we have something like 13 miles to work with, or that he wanted to keep tire temperatures as cool as possible until he really pushed it. The fact that he was in a car so fast he could lazily accelerate to 180mph alone is impressive.

The 180-220 seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. Also after well over 260MPH, 140MPH looks like a crawl.

Seems like a fellow I would be happy never to have a conversation with.

Because ANALRAPIST is to many letters.

Right, scattersheilds and transmission blankets exist for a reason. Heck, classes in scca have to run that equipment if you run not dot tires, I’m surprised a car this well built doesn’t have it.

Honestly the fact that it says to many mods to list frustrates me. You want over 12k for a car that would normally be worth closer to 1200 as it’s not a grand national GNX and you can’t list the mods or parts that justify the difference.

From the pics it looks like it has ladder bar rear suspension, which seems odd but I guess that might be sufficient for what it was built for. Having built two cars, a street rod and a cheap emod autocross car, it may be hard to build a similar truck close to 47k.
