Im 29, and many days I drive a first gen tundra. With the front weight bias, touchy throttle, firm trans, not particularly grippy tires, and LSD, I find myself sliding luridly more than once a day on average when I drive it. On some cloverleafs I basically cant help myself.

Jaguar Stype 3.0 kinda sucked, and I like jags.

Did you ever happen to race a MKVIII

The 90s ones had a supercharger, not a turbo.

1000 is proportionally much more than 500. $500 is a useful amount of cash.

IIve done it. I found a thunderace someone had dropped it and 40k miles and deffered maintenance about 7years ago for $700. It wouldn’t start after the drop. Owner was not an experienced motorcyclist.

“unless you go to the track”

Cause lightness is rightness.

“unless you go to a track”

Plus like doubling the tq

Some mini coopers also weigh about that!

And tires/chassis/suspension.

With power to weight, also gotta consider chassis and tires. A 500hp Bronco would be unusable, but a 500hp zo6...

Ive been disappointed in VQs ive known.

Remember in 95, when the Cobra R had 300hp and it was radical, and the 3000gt was considered complex and heavy at less than 4000lbs?

I had a 2gr one. I bet it would outrun your 540. Also the transmission failed at 110k miles and about 3 years.

I think a large displacement sportbike from around the turn of the century is sufficiant. So about 300hp/1000lbs.

The fiesta ST was like 17 for awhile.

Autocrossing I consistently see frs beating s2k. I suppose it has to do with tourque, gearing, and suspension advancements.

In 03 the sti made 300hp, the mustang gt 260.
