If 2014 counts as long enough, which it apparently does given the example. The CTS-V Wagon. Granted the S would actually bea 5 now but it looks basically the same on the badge so whatever

DEI was a troll post from an old forum with a bunch of guys from Lincoln and Omaha called GM Modern Muscle. There were other forums but GMMM became the place races got organized so even the Ford guys hung out there.   One of the regular members made it with a fake account posing as a lesser respected member of the…

Along these same lines if you look at new regulations through history lots of cars got the ax rather than meeting the new regulations. Ford and OBD II is a prime example. The first gen SHO, Super Coupe, and Lightning were all on platforms that went unchanged from 1995 to 1996 but all three performance versions died…

Maybe the driver of the truck was listening to KOW and being guided and encouraged by Super Soul. You might even say the driver was the last American hero?

He flew is jet around above the GM proving grounds at extremely low elevations a lot. It was more of a morale booster than a distraction. I will never forget the time he “buzzed the tower” on Black Lake while I was working late one evening. The tower is a 2 story building as I assume most aren’t familiar. He had to…

The best name we came up with, and it even went unused. Was Bronco Magnum. How fucking bad ass does that sound? Someone needs to name their kid Bronco Magnum.

When you’re downshifting to 2nd for a slow corner on track BMW’s method of Reverse on the left with no positive lock out feature really sucks. Too easy to enter the reverse gate instead of getting 2nd.

Just tell him he would be e famous and he should be down.

I really liked my MN12 Tbird. Was a fun car (heavily modded). Totally underrated cars. Like any Ford that doesn’t have a pony on it.

They covered the check engine light in an E39? I’m assuming that is a common thing to do when people get tired of looking at it? Is the dealer even to blame? They probably took it in with the light covered.

Not just different suspension mounting points, entirely different cradle mounting points. The front wheel house area of the MN12 is much larger to accommodate the upper control arm with a coil over shock set up where as a Fox body is a Macpherson Strut. Not just different suspension mounting points, entirely different…

Yes, “easily” remedied with some subframe connectors, I agree.

The rear body of an MN12 is way different than the rear body of a Fox based car. The rear cradle mounting of the MN12 is totally different than that of a Cobra. An MN12 can use Cobra rear shocks and hubs and the differential is interchangeable. Everything else is completely different and not even really very similar…

Personally, I think the number built only matters down to powertrain. As a Ford owner, it is still fun to see the old car with their Marti reports that give a full breakdown. I don’t put any stock in someone having the only Torino teal, 289, auto, power steering, manual brake with ash trays and power windows (I…

I am that guy. I’ve been through thousands more cars than the 500 2015s too. I think I’m near 20% done with 2011, working mostly after the graphite wheels/black diamond package came in.

It hasn’t been released, I’ve done a lot of digging to pull up the info I have pulled up. The 2015 Coupes were relatively easy because all 500 were in the first 750 vehicles or so of the 2015 model year cars built in the LGR plant. Other years are harder to pull info for because it requires digging through the entire…

I dunno, Mocha Steel Metallic is essentially brown, another color these came in, and also pretty scarce. Might be a dead heat in rarity between the two.

There are only 508 manuals across all model years to start with and seriously nearly half of all the cars are black. This is an unpopular color that was only used for 1 (maybe 2) model year cars were produced. The light titanium interior is also only in about 1 out of 10 cars. The sunroof hurts the car’s chances of…

Here is an actual comparable car though. 63k for this one

Ok, ok, here’s a cheaper one, 45k but in my defense it has double the miles
