Current GM small blocks (aside from truck motors) really don’t weigh all that much. Aluminum FTW.

Most people fail to realize that Nevada is much larger than Las Vegas. Where I live we have about 5 days a year above 100 degrees. It really does suck riding in clean air through the mountains at 70-75mph let me tell ya.
All of our prior enlisted officers were called Mustangs. I did have one LT that was prior enlisted Navy, and we teased him about being a squid, but he was still a Mustang.
Yes they do, I cross trained with them during my time in the Marine Corps. We were all a bit surprised to see a handful of women in the infantry companies. This was in 1999.
I’d definitely be in the market for a $40,000 Land Cruiser with this face. Luxury is nice, but I’d rather have one of the more utilitarian versions they get over seas. I guess I’ll just keep my FJ62 until it turns to dust.
Visayan has a lot more Spanish influence than Tagalog does. It’s different enough that most people from Luzon have trouble understanding it.
Synthetic tends to last over twice the time conventional oil does. My Scion recommends 10,000 mile oil changes on 0w-20 weight oil. I change it at 7,500 just because my old oil biases keep me from going the full 10,000.
I never said it would, heads and a cam will get you right there in the neighborhood. I get it, you hate LS motors, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t performance bargains. For the price it would cost to get a FA20 to or over 500hp you could have bought another car.
Not really, you can find a wrecked F body on Craigslist all day every day, that would have all the parts you'd need. I'm a handy guy, I do my own work. If I wanted to do a swap it wouldn't break my bank.
Except for antelope, and livestock. Something I didn’t know before moving to Nevada is that antelope will NOT jump over a fence for any reason. So if an antelope on the side of the road can’t shimmy under a barbwire fence, it will turn back and run across the road regardless of how close your vehicle is.
I nominate Highway 95 through southeast Oregon. You go from 70mph in Nevada, to 55mph in Oregon. What you find on the other side of McDermitt, Nevada is straight runs of highway with a sparing number of turns. You pass through Burns Junction, which sometimes, but not often is populated by a highway patrolman manning a…
As the owner of a FA20, I'm here to tell you that you are terrible misinformed about the price of turbo charging a FA20 and the price of modding a LS. Spend $4,000 modding a FA20 you end up with 260 horsepower, spend $4,000 modding a LS and you are comfortably north of 500 horsepower, a 500+ horsepower that is daily…
Thats what I’m hoping for. I used to have a late 70’s Suzuki enduro in my teens but haven’t had a streetable bike since. This is as close to those old UJM’s as you can get in a modern bike and I think it would be a boat load of fun.
I’d heard they were considering the Mustang as a replacement for the Torino in NASCAR, and that was mainly responsible for the growth in size, and the 429 for 71.
I’d say 71 was the last truly good year. Emissions crept in in 72 and choked the engines pretty badly, not that you couldn't spend the afternoon peeling the stuff off and get a lot of the horsepower back. But the high compression fire breathing motors died in 71, at least for Ford.
Not surprising, there was a pretty big wave of 70’s nostalgia in the mid 90’s.
Spot on, I’ve had my FR-S for just shy of two years now, I’ve had several 300+ horsepower cars, and don’t miss even one horsepower in my FR-S. I’m perfectly fine having a car I can drive as hard as I want on mountain switchbacks without getting into trouble, and still be able to average in the high 30mpgs when I drive…
It was continually tested in Yuma throughout my enlistment from 98-02
The V-22 program was started in the late 70’s, and by the late 90’s when I was in the Marine Corps they were still killing Marines a squad at a time loading them into those things. I would hope it takes less than 25 years to unfuck the F-35. The Airforce does get quite a bit more money than the Marines though.
