It’s a fundamental truth that, when optimizing a ratio, the denominator is where the focus will go. Driving that denominator to zero pushes the result to infinity.

Don’t sell a business you built until you’re ready to quit.

Said that after 14 hours in a Prius, his back hurt too much.

Given perfect examples are in the quarter million range, I can see why someone thinks they can get $50k for a questionable one.

These cars are having a resurgence right now. An example just sold at BJ for $250k!! These things were kind of a bastard child 10 years ago and you could get them for relative peanuts.

I’ll put my money on the rock-hard suspension and how the owner is fed up with it.

Get a Prius.

Yea but the 5.0s are just so much more fun though. On E-85, they are hard to beat on a roll.

Something both those cars have is a bubble/squared roof, not fast back/sloping like a lot of coupes

Honestly, it was probably faster and just didn’t feel like it. The rental-spec tires and 87 octane fuel probably held it back a lot too.

I honestly can’t think of a single 2 door car I have owned that has usable back seats.

Unfortunately, the Mustang is let down by steering feel that’s so dead it may as well be a steer-by-wire system. There’s no communication whatsoever between the wheel and what the front tires are doing.

The 124 does have higher max torque, though.

Counterpoint: The Supra looks and sounds better. I rest my case.

There is 0 turbo or anything in the rear. I’m not even convinced those velocity stacks have actual NOS piped to them (or even go into the intake). I don’t see a purge valve under the hood, nor any switches or buttons on the interior for activating the system (and there’s no picture of the tanks).

I just looked at the pictures on FBM... Is that a FAKE ROLLBAR? It looks like it’s just sitting on the carpet unattached to anything.

although the dealer has no word on how much power this thing makes.

And these interiors were “nice” compared to American cars of the era. Go look up a Malibu or Taurus from the mid 2000s for comparison.

Heavy, ponderous things with little joy in driving them,
