Great article and photos, but I’m a bit disappointed there isn’t a single photo of the spacious and luxurious interior.  Shame!

Yeah, the scale on photos doesn’t add up. Wiki seems to have it correct:

Love the concept, but in the door is an extremely poor choice. In a sedan or anything with a rear door, I understand it has to be in the door, but if it’s raining cats and dogs and I have to open my door enough to then lean/reach out into the rain and pull out the umbrella, by arm is soaked by that point. In the

yeah - beige Intrepid? hardly tragic, Kristen!

Ford must rule in this dept with the Contour and even the old F-150 (~’94)

Oh, I know for a fact that they can be found in nearly every state, hills or not. I was speaking strictly to the original Deliverance setting

Wasn’t Deliverance filmed in/around the Chattooga River separating Georgia and SC?

Borrowed one from a dealer for a day for a photo shoot way back when and I liked the rotor shaped details and didn’t even mind the 3rd door thingy. The handling/balance was superb and way better than the new-at-the-time Nissan Z, BUT it was a bit underwhelming with power and the synchro went out - and that was a new

Got mine set up over the weekend. Very seamless between the 2 TM-1900 (both converted to RT-68U’s) with ethernet backhaul. No need to fiddle with channels, and they handoff and load share between the 2 like ‘magic’.

It’s always amazed me at how many Detroit Metro area folks help design and manufacture cars (at all tiers), yet can’t figure out the turn signal.

Yes, a manual. Some of the Nissans of the mid 00's (my Pathfinder included) had a propensity to spill antifreeze coolant into the auto tranny. If yours hasn’t yet, get a dedicated tranny cooler for a few hundred bucks and eliminate the possibility. A manual would eliminate this altogether. 

Well, they change from stored chemical energy to kinetic energy. Regardless, these kill vehicles are inert in that they carry no explosives on board.

The Lightning would need a seriously upgraded brake system to run more than 2 fast laps at any course. They just faded to fast on a track, so all you had to do was pressure them from behind for a lap or so, and off they went.

Agreed - the RX-8 bested it in handling when it came out, and it is pretty porky, the CF driveshaft notwithstanding. Given the lack of technogadgets, the bulletproof RWD V-6 and manual tranny, it is a pretty durable reliable platform no matter the age - so I will give it that.

Best sounding stock V6 until the F-Type came around. Mine handled great: understeer until about 50, then neutral, then you could get the back end to swing around. I ran mine (stock motor) one at IRP, Waterford, & Gingerman. At IRP with R1 tires, I was keeping up with a ‘95 and ‘00 Cobra R until the drag straight.

If you live in FL, two things can happen: You can dig a hole and hit water real soon, or a hole will eventually suddenly appear.

Didn’t read the article close enough to pick up the ‘15 Camaro - thanks.

I think the article should mention that these two GM vehicles share the same Alpha platform. I’m not saying they are the same car by any means (you cover that well enough in your article), but they are extremely similar deep down.

I don’t see a beer in any of the photos, therefore I think that part of the story is a lie.
