Oh my. I think I'm going to sell it all, work my ass off and buy a V8 Vantage.

This new Subaru/Toyota/Unicorn thing that Jalopnik is jizzing themselves over seems like it would be close in weight - but at probably half the price.

Disgruntled Rob is disgruntled.

But it sounds soooooooooooo good. One reason I bought one this year. That, and the front seats. Best seats EVER.

That would be okay if the torque peak was at a lower RPM, but makes peak torque at 6600...pretty high. I wonder what the curve looks like though.

Don't you mean:

The trans in the car pictured went boom earlier this year. Some things never change...

LS2 and butterfly valves? Tell me more.

It's really just a Volkswagen Beetle.

An Enzo being used for it's purpose, perhaps?

Seriously, what the fuck is this shit Jalopnik? Does anyone really give a fuck what they did or didn't do? The page view thing is bullshit.

WHY DID THEY NEVER MAKE THIS

I've seen them around 2

'Shop some new headlights onto that car. Those are ugly.

Friend of mine has one. Motor bent a rod, dealer said it was the clutch making the pedal vibrate. So he bought the extended warranty, drove it till it blew up, then waited 2 or 3 months to get another motor put in it. Pretty nice car though...

The car "falling" didn't help - but it definitely didn't fall all the way on him.

Until SHO-boom.

The earlier '80s 3.8 with the nylon teeth on the timing gear is one to avoid if it hasn't been replaced. Just ran into that issue with an '87 LeSabre.
