"When you are cruising in a straight line you can get the car rocking from side to side with little taps on the accelerator. The engine torque and soft springs do the rest."

We should? Why?

Now playing

The 1970 Cadillac Eldorado at least wins "most front-heavy thing ever" if nothing else. 500 cubic inches front-wheel drive. If that's not insane then I don't know what is. Because it's the '70 model and not the later '71-'76 models (which progressively lost power each year) it also packed 400 horsepower.

Now my imagination is filled with the thought of a large, burly and really pissed (his face red with fury) German policeman driving an Isetta to its limit through a busy little city street while yelling ACHTUNG, POLIZEI! at the top of his lungs to get past all the pedestrians.

My thoughts exactly, although I actually think the Juke R looks alright/borderline cool, but that thing costs way too much and will therefore only be sold to the fabulously rich so I've got no hopes of ever driving one.

"Are you willing to testify in court?"

Funny you'd post this, I visited a dealer a week ago with my father (who absolutely loves that car) and watched as he instantly became about 40 years younger and excited upon realizing that they are half the price used even with very few miles on the odo! His only real issue was the paddle-shift, but I tried to

Isn't that the Mazdaspeed version? Not really important, but still.

I really want a turbo slicktop for the sake of stiffness (and not having to fix leaking t-tops, which I've heard is a real pain), shame they were only sold in '84 and '85 I think (and I'd like to have a later '88 or '89). That might not apply, however, as I'm in Europe and the production numbers were different here I

I'm not sure I understand what you're parodying, so I'm going to stare at you seductively for 20 minutes while whispering "lettuce" in your left ear.

Damn, now I want a Blazer.

"The Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya is 57 years old, and he still drifts.

6 other Z31s and a full shop? Does that guy have happen to have a website or the like? Sounds very interesting.

True, but 450 horsepower + FWD is not a good idea. Heck, anything above 200 is a bad idea unless the car's front suspension is designed to handle it (see: Ford's RevoKnuckle suspension found on the Focus RS500)! I'd rather have a sort-of Lan-Evo with more sports car-ish looks.

I'm sure you're correct, I'm just not that big a fan of FWD (it definitely has its strengths, I just haven't had any fun with it at all)

Well when they built it it was supposed to be his DD, and out of those 30 cars only about half of them actually run last time I checked. My main gripe with the front is that the headlights are too small while being too far from the grille I think. My head is spinning trying to figure out exactly what I dislike with it

Oil crisis was also responsible for what happened, although probably more indirectly by motivating said regulations.

David Freiburger's F-Bomb Camaro is only cool because of what's under the hood and that he DD's it, I still hate that face so much. It's better in person, admittedly (all Camaros are somehow, even the new one looks alright in person), but still meh.
