Late 80's Daytona Shelby
Owned an ‘88 Shelby z for over 30 years. Rear sun visors true.
Advancement of time and complexity does not enable things. We cannot build the Great Pyramids, 4500 years later. Epic things happen when the lines of societal constructs, manpower, money, commitment, risk, technology and simplicity cross. Those things happened in Ancient Egypt for the Pyramids, and they happened in…
They took a Scud and added manual trans and added back 200 lbs courtesy of Matt Farha’s girth. That is some old skool chit right there.
Them some short, lovely gears. Sadly, this is something too many enthusiasts will never get to enjoy and love.
No one longed for performance and muscle in the 1980's. The mind-boggling number of 60's to early 70's muscle cars available, and the low price and simple mechanicals, meant hot rod performance was practically growing on trees in the 1980's. The collapse of new performance cars from about 1974-1989 (give or take)…
This matches what Alfa EMEA marketing communicated to the 4C owners forum members. We were most interested in different powertrains, but it appears it was just some fun for designers.
Amazon has just reached a level of automation that more than offsets the pay raise. The robotics are now primed for the ROI. Thus, many, many fewer jobs, but better paying, with a path to eliminate thousands more per quarter for years to come. #robotics
This is literally on the Scuderia Ferrari F1 cars now, and is contributing to major step forward in power unit performance, as well as causing serious concern at Merc and Renault. If Ferrari own the rights to the idea, expect the FIA to ban it.
I’ve use metal polish with great results. I’ve used RainX brand restorer, and it has the sandpaper, lubricant and protectant. RainX kit will save you from scrounging around for right stuff.
And there are snipers ready to pick off Kangaroos that might enter the track, mate!
Is there proof that it actually cleared that ant hill?
What is lost about the early to mid 1980s is that consumers lusted for competence... and a warranty. The ad, and Iaccoca’s whole approach, nailed it. They talked to middle Americans, who didn’t identify with Japanese brands and wanted a nice, competent car with a good warranty.
‘Ride, Pontiac, Ride” set a low benchmark for GM performance ads.
The best thing about 1980's performance was that everyone that was serious about it drove 60's muscle cars.
Not weird to us, but there are many people (too many) who think overheating is just a routine thing.
In the age of big boost, open decks and gasket failures and problems, with local and/or broad overheating, it really requires new heads.
Drop the ‘old man’ language.
