So either you can't read or you enjoy being a contrarian ass. Which is it?

f1 limits how fast the cars are as well. LMP1 cars would count, but they are so removed from reality as to be irrelevant in my eyes. I want this mostly to create batshit homologation specials like the road going gt40, the plymouth road runner, the lancia stratos, ect. ect.

I know racing is supposed to be about who is the best driver, but can’t we have one series about who has the fastest car? Not that I really watch racing. Just seems to me why there are no classic “manufacturer dominates x series for five years” stories anymore.

I don't even believe how shitty compact cars were 10 years ago. We have come a long way in a very short time imo

I would ask for receipts (and talk him down 500$) but Ill vote np. Why do I always forget these cars exist? They look good.

If alpine makes cars that look this good, I might get into french cars.

1st gen Dodge Viper rt10. 30 grand for a low mileage handbuilt v10 supercar. These will easily be 50-100 grand outside of a decade. Right around when I actually get money for one.

When, in your magnificent opinion should an engine be rebuilt? When it shits the rods through the block? When the oil passages become clogged from 29 years of use? When a blown headgasket causes coolant to leak into the cylinder? I usually like to keep these things from happening in the first place. Or are you psychic…

I expect there was alot of that this weekend. Doesn’t make it any less funny. Thats what people get for not having common sense, or eyes apparently.

Ok, I guess common mechanical knowledge, factory service intervals, and the laws of physics and friction are all wrong. A complex machine with thousands of moving parts can cycle hundreds of millions of times without being disassembled and inspected. I was wrong.

Hey if you buy an old car and don’t get screwed, you’re doing it wrong. I also might have a problem with abusive relationships :)

That is simply good maintenance. My engine has 100 k and it runs just fine. I’m going to rebuild it because you start doing irreparable damage to critical components. A gasoline engine should be rebuilt every 150k miles and they can last well over 1 million miles.

Just factor in an engine rebuild, a transmission job, and whatever the awd system needs, and you have spent nearly 10 grand on an 80s car!

Why buy this 80k miles Porsche when you can buy a 1996 viper rt with 28k miles for 25 grand less?

oh no a comment on the internet

So basically, you are berating me for using a ben quote out of context, then proceed to use my own words out of context. wow.

How do racecars significantly contribute to air pollution?

Both articles posted to the FP infer gas passenger car type engines. If diesel engines are the only ones being affected, this becomes much more ironic. If that is the case I guess the journalistic integrity of jalopnik is less than I had hoped. Still, forcing conformity with standard vehicle emissions tests should be…

Do you think people converting street cars for racing contributes significantly to pollution? Because I dont. i live in a state that has emission standards, I cant just rip of my catalytic converters and call it a day.
