"I just never lifted"

Did you hear that? He never lifted.

Wrong. The Hakosuka is one of the best looking cars of all time. I prefer it to the later fastback.

It was a 428 Cobra Jet motor in the GT500. It was a part of the 390/427/428 family of engines known as the FE. The 429/460 was a different engine altogether. But to address the issue of horsepower, engines in those days were often delivered with very modest tuning in the interest of reliability and longevity. A GT500…

Trucks losing vent windows pretty much signaled the coming demise of automotive technology.

The OBS ford pickup (92-96/97), IMO, is the peak of automotive technology. It's all gone down hill since.

For those that are confused by the bumper stickers, I'd direct your attention here...

False...

P51s all over the place...

The 2000 Cobra R was not supercharged.

The 2000 Cobra R was NOT supercharged. It was a DOHC 5.4L that made a cool 385 hp.

The Boss 302 also made 290 hp (on paper). Fitting since both the Z28 and the Boss 302 were homologated for the same race series. Truthfully, both chevy and ford 302s probably left dealerships putting out 290 hp exactly, but both could easily be tuned up to 350+ hp with a straight exhaust and a little tampering with…

mmm... mag wheels and side pipes. Totally groovy paint, too!

This is true.

I am disappoint...

Since we're on the subject of rarely inferred consequences of industrial processes, try this one on for size... The amount of iron and other oxidizing metals that have been dredged from the bowels of the earth in the last couple hundred years is immense, especially when you consider that the ultimate fate of all of…

That's just awful.

This photo is from Japan, btw.

Its not in your face. It isn't staring angrily at everything that gets into its path. It's not offensive, it isn't rude, it doesn't have tacked on bits and pieces. Instead, it's a fairly conservative small sedan that makes the 2014 Honda Civic Si look like a lesson in daring design. It's not what I'd call ugly because…

Why did you turn?

Unfortunately, the car met it's demise some 8 years ago in a fairly tame fashion. Another car failed to yield and crunched the front-end. No hoonage, no hijinks, just a simple traffic accident and the OBSTi is no more. I do still have the entire drivetrain and most of the parts laying around under a cover, I just need…
