I think you mean “What does Louisiana have to do with the Middle East/UAE/Quatar?”.

The early Koenigseggs used Ford 4.6s, although the Koenigsegg engines have since evolved along different lines. Despite the differences, the car sounds like a turbo Mustang to me.

Cruisin The Coast is coming up, and the cops will likely be out in force there as well. But we have gassers, ratrods, and all manner of muscle cars out there.

I distinctly remember hearing about AMC, and maybe other teams, acid-dipping the bodies of their TransAm cars in an effort to lighten them. This was only discovered when an inspector leaned on a car and significantly dented the roof. The team then got a donor car from the local dealer and threw the un-dipped roof…

I’d have snapped a pic too. An XB Falcon, heck any Aussie Falcon, on these shores is indeed a rare sight.

Reminds me of how a Camaro was used in lieu of a Challenger for Vanishing Point. Makes you wonder how many other car substitutions there are in the movie-making business.

But they weren't making 300 lt-lbs of torque at sea-level RPMs, especially n/a. Comparing peak horsepower only tells part of the story.

On a positive note, the upper cylinders are now thoroughly lubricated.

LS swaps... do not like.

So, it I read that right, Honda basically said they stuck a cheap rear diff in there that can't handle the power needed to get the vehicle moving without the front getting X amount of traction. They then had to program the 4wd system to work less than optimally so that it doesn't grenade said cheap diff when the…

I would have said "especially Fox bodies (or Mustangs in general)". But I guess everyone has different priorities. At any rate, it's good to know someone else is getting tired of seeing LS swaps spread like a virus.

Thank the heavens above that someone else has picked up on this. No one, and I mean NO ONE, in the Baton Rouge area seems to be aware of this concept. Maybe I'm only aware of it because the town I live in only has one intersection and that, for ages, was governed by a caution light. If one traffic light in BR goes…

Forvette > any Corvette

My daily,a '99 Explorer, scoffs at 100,000 miles. The old girl is at 201k, still climbing, and still runs great. This in spite of my "spirited" driving style.

Nice. I bet the neighbors don't appreciate it as much though.

It's borderline musical to me. Not sure how anyone could dislike it.

Ford isn't the only manufacturer to do this, and it isn't done entirely because most turbo engines sound like crap — it's also to keep down noise, vibration and harshness. Today's cars are loaded down with insulation for a reason.

So, if some clown leaves that show and pitches his car into a curb being a showoff, do the Trabant guys go into hater mode and post it all over Hungarian Facebook saying "Typical Lada owners"?

Negative. Idiots, in general, are why we can't have nice things. Idiots drive any car they can get their hands on, including those of the bowtie-wearing and annoyingly-loud-front-wheel-driven varieties.

Just the GT Foxbodies? The appropriate term should be "Any V8 Foxbody Mustang." LX 5.0's are just a GT without the ground effects (which add weight) and the notchbacks are lighter than the hatches. Original V8 notches, especially, are becoming investment items because so many have been cut up, thrashed, and crashed.
