/shrug Perhaps, yeah. But it's still fun.

Low HP, but around 200 ft-lbs of torque (or more) at ZERO RPM.
Basically turns every stop into a launch control event.

My 2004 Elantra doesn't have cruise control. I bet there's a lot of other folks in cars much the same.

I do agree with you though - there IS a large portion that has cruise control, and doesn't use it.

Sounds like a resurgence of this:

I see no clown shoe photos. TRAVESTY!

Maybe it's a clamshell hood, hinged at the front?

That blue Lumina Euro with Pontiac rims on the front was mine. I took that photo of it. :)

Where's the full-size of this picture? I don't see a way to expand it and it's not in the photo dump.

I LOATHE silver cars.

The CRX Si may have been easy to work on, but the HF wasn't. The number of vacuum hoses on the carburetor alone was crazy:

This for sure. 59/41 weight distribution (front/rear) is pretty good, center of grav is low, and the 6MT in 'sport' mode feels much punchier than you'd think.

Clown shoe in Evergreen:

This is a car/auto lover's site, correct?

Well, there's the new 3-cylinder EcoBoost Fusion coming...

I'd use a stubby screwdriver so that the weight wasn't nearly as high. :)

This comment is so full of win that it cannot be expressed in words.

...unless you count the liquid-cooled alternator.

Agreed!

That's what 'FOR OFFROAD USE ONLY' was designed to take care of. Build it, or make it so that We The People can build them.
