Idiotic indeed. Like I said before, the inspection process is a joke, and our discussion proves why. Thanks for the constructive discussion... you don’t always get that in the wild-west of the internet. Kudos to you!

The 3.4 was a half decent motor for the day. There weren’t too many “family” cars that were pushing 200hp+.

We all heard about the ZZP Performance 12 second Grand Prix back in the day and wanted to build our cars to be like that. I think if I was to do any swap it would have been the Northstar V8 or an L67.

I used to own the 4-door version, 1998, Pewter in color. Was the first car I started modifying, first one that wasn’t a family hand-me-down, first one I took a road trip with, I had fun with it. Then the lower intake gasket went out on me. Ended up with a 1995 for a few months before selling it back to the shop I…

No, your heap of metal is not worth $3000, no matter what shade of yellow it once was. Or maybe that’s just oxidation.

As I said, the shop I used to go to would remove it as normal practice - they never asked me. I’ll admit it’s been a while since I went there, so maybe laws have changed since then.

I thought inspectors could remove the wheel - one of the stations in my area does this. So, I looked it up, and sure enough, from the MA RMV website: http://www.massrmv.com/rmv/faq/inspec…

Yea, and in MA if you alter the suspension AT ALL, regardless of how well engineered it is, you fail. Remember the damn dyno tests?

WTF???? How on earth did they expect any competent safety inspection without taking the wheels off and putting it on a lift?

Anyone other than Kimi is wrong...

They want you to jack up the car and check safety items (brake lines, frame condition, exhaust) all on the ground. Not only that, but unless the brake pads are metal-to-metal, if the car stops from a specified mph in a certain number of feet, it passes, and we’re not allowed to pull the wheels to look at them.

Lenny Robinson may have dressed up as a superhero, but in my mind this man was a hero.

His Batmobile broke down with engine trouble, and when he got out to inspect the car, it was struck by a Toyota Camry, and then his own car hit him.

Ford GT does it for me. I fell in love with it when I first saw its commercial during the 2004 Super Bowl. When my local Ford Store got one in for a customer, I was given a ride in it. I haven’t been the same since.

I know this may be a pretty unpopular submission, but I have never been able to get over the preportions of the last generation CTS Coupe. There are just huge flat expanses of flat metal and plastic paneling. The belt line is awkwardly high and the rake of the car front to rear makes for odd disparities between the…

If Honda just accepted people actually like the SH-AWD, and put it in nearly everything...
