Can you still do neutral drops? The last time I tried was in some nondescript rental in college, and the electronically controlled slushbox had been programmed with some sort of anti-hoon/self-preservation code. Before it would actually engage drive, it cut all the revs I'd built. I didn't even get any wheelspin!
I'm not perfect at the heel and toe (again, more like ball of the foot and side of the foot), but I do practice it. Getting off I-75 S onto I-74 W out of Cincinnati is a good place, as the ramp is short and relatively sharp, with a downhill entry. It requires braking on the way in and brisk acceleration on the way…
Not only does that car look insectoid, it also looks like you could drive around skewering pedestrians with the fenders like insects on pins.
@vinnchan:
I'll second the Crown Vic comment, although I don't think I can say it any better than PeteJayhawk did. Can't the old folks drive Toyota Avalons or late-80's Buick Roadmasters?

Though rare, ZR-1's can now be had for 25 grand. Other than the engine (which is apparently crazy reliable), most of the parts are reasonably priced GM stuff. But that's the problem: Other than the engine, nothing really makes this car more special than any other C4. That, coupled with the fact that the ZR-1 is…
My, this thread escalated quickly.
First of all, how are you going to have a picture of an AMC Marlin on the first page of the quiz, and then not have any Marlin questions? Come on, MSNBC!
This saddens me in a way that no Enzo crash ever could. R.I.P., RX-7. We hardly knew ye.
I went with Eldo v. Caravan just for the sheer disregard for personal safety embodied by deliberately and repeatedly crashing a car without a driver's door.
Er, make that overly thick. Apparently, I have female reproductive structures on the brain.
Hmm...the front end of that thing looks menacing and shark-like enough to be deserving of the Tiburon name.
They actually made a special "Gold Edition" in 1978, but it was a 400 c.i.d. T/A, rather than a Firebird. You had to order Option Code Y88. As with all T/A's, though, hoonage-inspiring came standard.
