i could be wrong, but if im not mistaken the V8 Mustang II was never offered with a stick, meaning there is no way this is a complete numbers matching car.

EDIT: learn something new every day, there WAS a manual option.

you can blame the lack of integration and Jim Crow in general on the piss poor handling of the south post war.

that said , people seem to identify with whatever their heritage was than what they really are. doesn’t matter your skin color, belief system, anything, if you were born here or chose to naturalize you are an…

as if douchebags didnt need even more reasons to buy fast cars, now it can drive fast for you!

fucking morons

there were some but you REALLY had to be paying attention or be a giant nerd (im pretty sure i spotted a Nebulon B frigate at one point grounded at the resistance base but never saw it again)

and the new TiE took me a moment to figure out, because since when did they have two seats and life support! then im like “ooooh…

what ive heard is that the Hemi V8's were too tall to fit the bay, but i could be wrong. more to the point, there HAS to be some sort of engineer over there who can come up with a viable solution.

and knocking down to a V8 would help with the weight, that MASSIVE V10 aint light by any stretch of the imagination.

there was less of this in the force awakens. maybe not in technical detail, but in imagry there was a lot of already done stuff.

for the most part the Prequels manage to remain fresh in that department, they were just garbage in every other area that mattered

and Ozzy

it wouldnt help, if Liam, Portman, Jackson, and McGregor couldn’t make them work then no one can.

And as Marvin from Hitch Hikers guide

it was originally envisioned with a V8, so there is prescident for it.

ha, wooden Divergent. i like that

in fairness, they did introduce a lot of new planets and other locations, new species, LOTS of new vehicles and ships, and some truly beautiful background pieces.

but all the new crap in the world cant undo terrible writing

this current platform is only a couple of years old. too expensive to go from scratch again, easier to shoe horn a V8 into the sucker and cut the price down.

if not for the fact im pretty sure Ozzy has a pact with the devil id bet on him being next

i watched it less than a week ago, now it just aches

add Lemmy, he died of cancer days after he turned 70

you forgot Metatron!

2016 is truly the year that can choke on a buffet of Dicks.
Lemmy Killmister; died of cancer just after his 70th birthday.(yes i know it was 2015 but just days before the flip so i count it)
David Bowie; died of Cancer at 69
and now Alan Rickman; died of cancer at 69.

you know what? Cancer can go eat a bag of dicks too…

id argue that the utter failure of the Prequels is what forced TFA to play it so safe. It didnt just have to set up the new story line, but erase the memory of the last three movies which damn near ruined the series in the public eye. and in this it was highly sucessful, far from perfect but more than good enough to…

so lets stick with tradition even though it limits the sales potential of the vehicle? if it wants to stay alive its going to have to play the game, and dropping a lower tiered engine into it makes it all that more accessible. you get a solid sports car that’s cousin to utter batshit insanity. Win Win

much as i hate…
