In the XJ Trackhawk universe, Jeep borrows a couple of turbochargers from the K car parts bin and fits them to a special DOHC version of the 4.0L with a Lotus designed head similar to what would be later seen on the Daytona IROC R/T and cranking out well over 300 HP. Official ratings peg it at 310 HP but real world…

Well, at least you didn’t totally Eric Bana it.
The lack of Loggins is the largest lapse.
Don’t worry, someone will point to some piece of plastic inside and complain about it not being as nice as some European sports car that cost twice as much with half the HP and 2^(price of car-price of corvette) more running costs and days in the shop. Also, it shares a steering wheel controls button with a Cruze so…
That looks amazing with FR500s on it.
A new truck with $15,000 off incentives, and 0.99% financing might be within spitting distance of a 2-3 year old similar truck at 4-5%.
Somebody had to fill the “what’s up doc?” niche in the marketplace with Pontiac no longer an ongoing concern.
All I can see when I see BMW’s new grill.
You guys are all wrong about arm/hand position.
This is what I like about my big ol’ beater truck - it’s basically like sitting in a office chair. It’s beat to hell and the seat springs have sprung but the seating position is so good, especially for a really tall guy, that that stuff doesn’t matter.
Maybe it has the swivel seats for ergonomically friendly egress
I need to do this with my Mustang. I’ve mix and matched parts from different years/models over the years and I need to write it all down before I forget what came from where and which year/model you need to ask for at the parts store to get the right part.
Mine can finally get off my insurance and get its own policy at a reasonable rate and it can rent cars on its own now.
Like many GM endeavors, the first iteration of the Turbo T/A was just a little too much of a reach and a little ahead of its time.
I love those Turbine.Cyclone style wheels.
If you look at the big personal luxury coupes of the era, like the Mark IV, you can see the Mustang II was trying to emulate them and move in that direction since the performance era had come to a close and the PLC was hugely popular. I believe Lee Iaccoca even described it as a “baby Mark”. The big coupes got more…
That’s the biggest problem. The 1970s fashion of tiny wheels pushed inside the wheel wells really hurt the II and you can’t fix the tiny wheel/tire package problem easily because of the tiny wheel openings. Even if you put bigger wheels/tires on it, then it just looks like it’s sitting on top of them like a skateboard…
I can hear those tires howling in protest.
My boss and I spent a good 20 minutes one day chasing a ghost coyote around the building at work until I realized it was just a piece of gunk on the outer housing of the PTZ camera in the parking lot that caused a wandering flare as the camera panned back & forth.
