I'm one year younger than this "boy" and I'm worried for the future of "my generation," nay, my country.

I guess M3's handle pretty poorly as well.

I really do think that hooning and cars in general are an international language. A yet-unexplored pathway to world peace. Our love of the car can unite us, except for the bosozoku crowd, they're just too weird.

It's a carbureted CHEVY V8. That's where his problems started.

Good point. Sign me up as well.

Air-Metal Battery?

A JUKE-BOX HEE-ROH!

Here we see the Common Dumbass in his native habitat.

That's the Modular design's limitation, bore is limited and piston speed is a concern as stroke increases. The actual bore of my old 5.0 HO is more than the bore spacing of the Coyote. The 6.2 "Boss" in the trucks is a different design that addresses this, the bore is just over 4" and the stroke is 1/10th of an inch…

Yeah, I forgot about that. The 4.6 is already about the size of an old FE big block to begin with(exterior dimensions, not displacement).

The '00 Cobra R did, and the Shelbys have one in supercharged form. There is a downside to an all-motor 5.4 in a performance car though. This is something I brought up when someone pitched the idea of a "Boss 351."

That's not entirely accurate. The old small-block 5.0s had a pretty distinctive tone that I can best describe as throaty. The 4.6s, especially the 2-vavles, had a certain similarity but were a but more... bubbly. I once heard someone say that that generation of Mustang "sounds like it's running in a bathroom."

The problem with the Boss 351 idea is that the 5.4 Mod motor (and by extension, it's larger bored brother the 5.8) has such a long stroke that piston speed can get extreme rather quickly. This limits the RPM the engine can be taken to, thereby limiting the engines N/A power potential.

What's really disturbing is when the horn starts going off. Logically, something could have melted and shorted the circuit, but it's almost as if the car was crying for help.

Had a guy at the local car meet pull a similar (enough) stunt a while back in a ragged out early-SN Mustang (NPI 4.6).

My vote's on the '03-'04 "Terminator" SVT Cobra. Mustangs have distinctive sounds as it is, but the sound of a supercharger makes it unmistakeable.

It's one of an entire class of cars that require the driver to know what they are doing, unfortunately that isn't the case many times. Seen it happen just as much with Camaros as well as Ferraris.

Cause of the crash: too much car for the driver. Took off hard, banged 2nd and came loose, then he hit some dirt in the road and it all went downhill (then quickly uphill technically) from there. Seen it happen to many good cars. Even worse, seen it happen with some pretty meh modes of transportation as well.

That rear-end with the new taillights makes me think of a mid-90's Integra.

Everyone seems to be going to the squinty look lately. I don't get it. That and I think only the Fusion did it in a way I actually like.
