The kids may not get this reference, but I do, Bob... Norwood?
I would only buy one of these to build out the engine to Super 60 spec and have some laughs. Driving it as-is is a bit too hipster for me.
And “Customer Satisfaction Programs”. It’s not going to blow my face off or anything, but the previous owners of my 2015 Ford C-Max Energi never took advantage of 15N04 to replace the 2G modem that came with the car and no longer has any towers to talk to. That would have been free, but it sunsetted in 2017 and now I…
Right? Although as I mentioned in my comment, the original Carmageddon had green blood from the pedestrians and claimed they were zombies, because running over people was still too much.
I played this! It was in the mid-80s at a bowling alley.
Please consider a torque tube if you’re going to put this in an old flexible-flyer ladder-frame monster, lest you end up driving a pretzel.
This appeals to my sour grapes side, but doing it in the open on a well-known and trafficked site is ballsy to the point that I’m doubtful.
Yep. And I’m not even a Miata purist or whatever--I get wanting some more juice, but if I’m driving for fun I want the control and the feedback and if I get to the point where I’m not capable enough, then I’m not interested in strapping on the nannies to let me go farther. If I’m a pro, then sure, whatever helps me…
Totally fair. I think most people would need the nannies to drive cars with that much potential safely. So maybe that much potential is a misguided goal for a street car, or really anything that you aren’t racing professionally.
I’m not sure whether this is just because I’m old, but modern supercars seem exhausting to me. I like my toy cars raw and stripped down. I don’t need layers of technology in the pursuit of fractional advantages and docile behavior. Modern supercars seem to want to be everything to everyone and they end up being…
Yes, so true. The classic racing movies (this and Le Mans) are crap movies with great cars and (certainly in the case of Grand Prix) magnificent cinematography.
It doesn’t get much more Australia than this.
Should’ve used his old license picture:
“A discerning European client.” So discerning Europeans order window louvres, stripes, and numbers? I think they mean “rich”.
We’re really pleased with it. We just moved to a very suburban area so we knew we could use a car occasionally just for groceries and things, but we also might want to take the occasional trip without having to go to the airport. This car is a great compromise. For grocery and other trips, we’ll never use gas, and…
We just bought a 2015 Ford C-Max Energi. Even without the over-the-top Volt engine care (Energis are fan-cooled), I am getting (near as makes no difference) the original all-electric range. Leafs give everything a bad name because the passive cooling on their batteries led to degradation. I was skeptical so I did a…
One of my dreams is to drop a 2ZZGE in one of these.
Wow, can any other single platform boast such a cool variety of engines? The Thema was available with a cross-plane variant of Ferrari’s V8 of the time, the SAAB of course could be had with the SAAB turbo 4, and the 164 had the gorgeous Busso. Not sure this one is worth this money, but it would be fun (and possibly…
If you have to commute past the Galleria on 610, move or quit.
