Cafe racer was a contemporary street bike transformed into a contemporary race bike and raced from one cafe to another in the 50s and 60s. If a cafe racer, the person, came to today they would pick a modern superbike to race. It was about winning not style. What’s trotted out as a cafe racer today is a joke. Morons…

Apples to Oranges

It’s already a cafe racer. I guess you’re talking about a craigslist cafe racer with the seat and rear frame hacked off? That’s not a cafe racer that’s unskilled hack failure.

Yeah what people forget is that when they made the 3g they deliberately “grew up” and wanted a more mature tourer. They figured the boy racers had grown up as well and wanted something more refined. Mitsubishi talks about that during the design phase. Out there on google somewhere. Also, sometimes when I look at the…

Yeah that was decent horsepower for the time. It had the most stock hp of any of the tuner hatchbacks at the time as well. The 2001 Mustang GT was only 260 horsepower at the time as a comparison. I still have a 2001 Eclipse GT 5 speed coupe with all the options. Bone stock and paid for. No issues. Use it as my…

According to people that watched all the videos of the process it cost $20k just in PARTS to get there.

All solid points! I do remember reading about the Toyota Cavalier! Haha! May I also present to you the Cadillac Cimarron. The nadir of refined luxury!

Ha! That’s interesting about the difference.

Nice car list! I have a 95 GT which was the last year without TC. When the roads are even a little bit damp I can leave a stop at a crawl and it will still break traction. It’s comical. I think Mustangs were always meant to be more muscle cars than track cars hence the great cruising and straight line performance and…

You are likely right about the shortened chassis and handling of the S197. I also do not know why Mustang held onto the straight axle basically since the beginning for so long. I think all the sensational vids of people losing control have more to do with Mustangs having traction control since 1996. The majority of…

Nice car either way if V6 or GT. Always hard to tell the New Edge Anniversary base and GT apart from only the fender badge.

The article is about V6 SN95s tho and that is why I said what I said. You pulled the DEW98 > DC2 > S197 deep cut comment out of thin air or a hat or an ass. Haha. The SN95 chassis is very similar just improved some. Remember the fourth gen Mustang was going to be a Probe. They had to hustle with next to no budget to…

NIce car. You are an outlier.

Chassis was just an improved foxbody chassis. Did not change over until 2005.

Yep. I have a ‘95 GT, last year of the 302, that I’ve been slowly un-ricing and un-fast and un-furiousing. On the outside it’s three different colors because I removed a body kit and replaced the doors with normal doors that didn’t have shaved handles. I’m on the fence of ever painting it. There are no dents at least.…

If you can’t handle people being nice you’re going to hate it when someone is a big meanie. Lol

All of your examples are base V6 Mustangs. They were cheap and unloved new and now they are on their 20th owner and even cheaper and no longer even know what love is.

Yeah. That was dumb too. They could have called it a Camaro as well. What’s your point? Is the shitty Nova your favorite car? My point is that lazy badge engineering is a NO GO.

Post wasn’t about ‘80's-’90's Chevy shittiness, which was common knowledge at the time, but about slapping the Nova name on it. Buy shitty car, win shitty surprises. 

Post wasn’t about business it was about slapping the Nova name on it.
