I see real and knock-off racing seats on cars that will never race all the time.

This is the most terrifying suggestion I've seen in this website. 

Back in ‘04 I remember seeing a few of the cars from the second movie on display at universal studios in Orlando. The orange challenger looked like a blind man painted it with a garden hose and patched rusted rockers with spray foam insulation. The convertible eclipse looked rough too, but the most ridiculous thing was…

Didn’t they have professional stunt people working on this movie?

Of course these were shitty beaters, look at what happened to one of them:

Janky mods are actually pretty period-correct for the tuner scene back then.

It’s not like the Fiero was the first time GM kneecapped a promising Pontiac because they didn’t want the brand to steal the spotlight.

I have a 1990 Storm 5 speed. Still in great shape and fun to drive. Obviously not my only car now, but still drive it most every day. I bought it new when I needed a 4 seater to have a place for a baby seat. So now my daughter and car are both turning 30! Anyway, I know a lot of people don’t like the Storm. Maybe I…

Apples and oranges.

1990 Ford Probe GT 8.1 seconds beating them all ;)

Car and Driver tested the Storm GSi (1.6 liter DOHC, FWD, non-turbo, 130 HP) in 1990 and reported a 8.5 second 0-60 time.

The Tiburon wasn’t around way back then. You’d be correct if you mentioned the Hyundai Scoupe. The Avenger and Sebring weren’t around then either. Chrysler was still selling K cars back then. And The Maxda MX-3 was not a bad car, especially with the cool tiny 1.8 V6. Expensive for 130hp, yes, but not bad. The MX-3 GS…

Many decades ago ( 1990 something) Car and Driver modified a Suzuki Swift Gt. They just did tires and suspension (maybe an intake and exhaust also) But the thing had a 73-ish mph slalom speed. And it exceeded 1g of cornering force (at the time huge numbers) No one cared then (or now) because the car still took about…

Interesting fact: Stormy Daniels is also a lithe banger, but at $130,000 (per published accounts) has a much higher entry price.

That was never a plan for the Storm Estate. It’s a full long roof. You’re thinking of the Nissan Pulsar EXA

I feel like I’m reading the manifesto of a ska-apologist.

* Checks Facebook marketplace/craigslist for said banger*

What kind of shitty-ass movie would use a kit car?!
