Not really, once there is already a pathway for the energy absorbing material to escape through, the barrier won’t absorb energy correctly.

Exactly. As much as I’m sure this is either a syrian plane or a complete lie, it is terrifying none the less.

I’d imagine the average person couldn’t tell the difference between a fulcrum and any of the flanker variants.

I would be absolutely shocked if those kind of tactics didn’t backfire and end in disaster for the russian pilots.

All FWD cars are not bad. In fact depending on the brand, they are often quite good. My issue is with a very large, more than likely very heavy FWD ford. The FWD taurus isn’t exactly a stellar handler and it is lighter than the continental will likely be.

It matters because it should still drive well. It doesn’t need to be an auto x hero, but it shouldn’t drive like a barge either.

The only way I can see this as anything other than disappointing is if its AWD similar to the Focus RS’ AWD system where is sends a majority of the power to the rear wheels. Sadly, I’m afraid that probably won’t be the case.

This car has absolutely unbelievable potential. Drag rat? If you want it to be one, it can be. Lemons racer? It’s already halfway there. Track rat? It's not really ideal for it but with enough money anything is possible. Sleeper? Get a blower and a tint and call it a day.

Yes but then you have to deal with that turd jag V8.

Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs with a dash of adrenaline and a huge heaping pile of stupidity.

And very few of them will be as special as the RX-7.

Stop it. This is just pornography.

Popular Jalop demand: reduce blind spots.

This just in! If you drive a V8 sedan and cut the wheel all the way in one direction and floor it, you will understeer.

It’s cool, but the diesel kills it for me. If it was a diesel V8 i would be game but that isn’t enough horsepower for a car that size imo.

You must be from down south. Around here(Connecticut), if it's a $600 toyota, 9 times out of 10 it is rusted to the point of being unsafe.

So what you are saying is that you drove a used car and it didn’t handle like a new car.....

Any time someone asks me what car to get if you need a reliable car without a million miles on it for $2k or less the only two words out of my mouth are Crown Vic. They are so god damn hard to break and you can’t visit a junk yard without finding a shit load of them to harvest parts from.

These cars are more safe than the 10-20% of people who drive around on old, bald tires and the cops don't do shit about those people. This is absolutely persecution.
