Ive been thinking they should reintroduce the mach 1 as a big motor line since before the last one (ex bronco 5.8 in the fox, 2valve 5.4 in the sn95, 6.2 in the newer ones). This seems to be the opposite idea, such is progress I suppose.

I like these cars.

Patrick George is making them use their Christian names. “For accountability”.

There was a manual swapped mark viii in nice price or crack pipe in 2014. It was $6500 and lost. It used a PI tranny. The similar tbird sc came with a stick.

You are spreading misinformation, the terminator is not the cobra r. The cobra r had no intercooler. There are no cobra r parts on ebay. The terminator blower will not fit on the lincolns heads. Headers dont double hp on stock cars. Noone is getting 400hp mark viiis as you depict.

Imagine a sc300 with badass turbos, coilovers and a stick. It wouldn’t command supra money.

F40 is malaise? 300zx is malaise? NA miata is malaise?

I had an ls1 transam with a big cam and nitrous for awhile. Anytime id touch the brakes over 170 theyd break.

0-60 is outdated. It tells you much about the difference between a crx hf, a crx si and a fox body 5.0. From this number you get a good feel of what it would look like to run these cars.

electric tourque vs turbo lag

At tx2k the 1500hp street cars do organized roll racing.

Ha, I had the exact opposite thought, and come from the opposite perspective.

Sky diving gives you roughly the same intial acceleration, if you want to feel about what its like.

Motor trend figure 8, or a similarly standard autox, inside a stadium would be the thing.

I had forgotten a certain point of view. I had a 280zx I worked on quite a bit as well. That the hood didnt make an impression on me must count for something.

Kia Soul Turbo

2GR AWD Rav4. If thats not cheap enough, how about an old Explorer?

What should we call it?

Corvettes are the only front hinged things ive worked on. Some things may be easier to get to, but all in all you are reducing your available approach angles, I’d say its worse.

In this insufferable situation (which im never in) what merit would this old bmw have? Seems like a lumina would be better.
