Don’t those catch fire?

“drops right in” well, also a custom wire harness. 

I feel like a manual Mazda 3 or a Crown Vic/Panther Platform here is the right answer.

More reliability, maybe a stick Civic Sedan.

Huh. Both were used. My 4cyl was my first car, and my dad and I did have to replace the bushing. (Luckily, he’s a GM Parts Manager, and happened to have a spare 88 bushing in the parts room.) That was 2001ish. My 88 GT I bought in 13, and I’m in the process of putting in the brass bushing from Rodney Dickman, as well

I’ve had two 88s, a 4cyl Auto and my current 5 speed GT. I haven’t had near as many issues as you.

Then the 370Z is for you, the 2019 car from 2009. 

They should get Mark Walberg to pitch it. Then he could be called the

The minute these are delivered to Stryker CABs and left alone with enterprising E4s who have easy access to rattle cans and a stencil kit, there will be several “Sharks.”

I imagine one will also get “No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die” stenciled on the barrel as well.

Command may not approve, but the E4 Mafia will get

Until the little plastic elbows near the intake eat themselves, and leak coolant everywhere. Happened on my 03 Impala long before 150k. An idiot wouldn’t notice until they were completely gone and he had a blown engine.

I love Jalopnik, and all the writers, but man, G-O is doing their best to kill readership. So much so that I added Autoblog back to my RSS feeder next to Jalopnik. Just hedging my bets. 

I’m in the same boat. I have a ‘13 FoST, had it for 4 years now and the 30 minute, one-way commute in traffic is getting old. It’s not bad, mind you, and easier in the FoST than in my 5-speed Fiero GT, but it gets OLD after a while.

Next year I get a new car, and it’s kind of a toss up between a manual Mustang GT

I mean, theoretically, maybe. But the heat generated inside a turbine is intense. Normal operating temperatures for a GE T701C can get up to 810 degrees Celsius - and up to 949 degrees Celsius in transient.

Now, granted, a little generator turbine like an APU won’t get that hot - but it is pretty considerable, and I

Unlike a turbine that’s used to push a plane, one running a generator doesn’t need that much thrust since its main function is to spin the generator. I believe the term used for these is ‘aeroderivative gas turbine’. Apparently they are similar to a turbojet, but completely different. You can’t swap one for the other

Jason, I’m pretty sure that’s a witches holographic familiar on the end of the broom. Every witch has a Familiar, you know. Kiki had a black cat, and Mary had an angry cat. 

I guess, minus combustion and very high temperatures (that an exhaust driven turbo won’t see.)

It would almost have to be a two stage engine - the generator fan and shaft (to have self-sufficiency, as well as compression) and the power fan and shaft. Not sure how else it would work. 

All of that, plus I don’t think a turbojet would have the thrust necessary - you’d need a turboshaft (turbine engine with a generator shaft, and output power shaft) engine to power electric generators and/or the wheels.
