There are three kinds of people who shit on cars that “don’t have enough horsepower”:

The problem with this kind of movie, is that they tend to follow all of the same tropes, with only superficial differences noticeable. But most people dig these kinds of movies for retro fashionable reasons, as Coming of Age movies are especially popular if they take place in an earlier time period on the Pop Culture

been noticing an uptick in e36 m3's lately. The ones that aren’t already trashed are getting to 1-2 rungs below god’s chariot.

Brake rotors!

Word :( But more new wagons means more used ones later :)

Now he can be like every SUV driver and drive on bald tires because AWD is magic, yo

I honestly couldn’t care less about top speed. It sounds cool but chances are I will never experience it. I’d rather have a car with a great handling chassis, a really smart transmission (or manual), and a lot of usable power. Like this Jag.

And I love super sports sedans, so this thing is way cooler to me than the

It may not be a popular opinion, but I think this era was “peak car”, especially for me the early 90s. Cars had enough tech to be reliable and fast, like electronic fuel injection, turbos in many cases, disk brakes with ABS, independent suspension, DOHC on almost every engine, and 5 or 6 speed manuals. At the same

one of only 24 S54 M Coupes in Steel Gray with a Dark Gray/Black interior and a sunroof.

There are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes well constructed homemade clones of highly desirable never-USDM cars go for significantly more than the stock base. We never got an M5 touring here, and I saw an E39 525i Touring with a 500+ hp LS7 swap and a bunch of handling upgrades go for close to $40k last year. It was

If you’re not putting good tires on a Skyline, you’re doing it wrong.

Wait a year or two until tuners crack the DME, slap on bolt-ons and you’ll see 800whp, probably.

Agree. It’s too late for this car to be bought and then driven like it should have when new. Whoever buys this will spend serious coin and only because it’s an investment now, and if driven should only be done so rarely to basically prove it still runs. To buy it and hoon it would be a bad thing to do for the

The trend will change when gas goes back up to $4/gallon, and it will.

Or the ultimate throwback, Pope Pius X. Gotta represent, stay out of Purgatory.

You are not the only one. Hellcat is a much better car than this thing, it’s a stupid idea.

Also live in LA, considering a manual ND. My commute from West Hollywood to Santa Monica is only 9 miles but takes 50 minutes. Nice to know someone else is crazy(smart!) enough to choose a ND as a daily here.

Call me an exception to the rule. I have a 15-mile commute in LA traffic, and I do it in a stick shift ND Miata with the top down as much as possible unless it’s raining. :P

Plenty of Jalops will buy the 2018 Stinger - in 2026.
