Nah you’re completely correct. I think Mighty Car Mods is perhaps the most significant car show ever created because it isn’t a “quasi-elitist” show where they only drive hypercars or a stupid show as you described. Marty and Moog show the average car enthusiast how they can improve and modify their ride from the…

Well I attempted a clutch job on my Miata in a wholly inadequately equipped garage. Still not done...
This is extremely prevalent with E36 M3s. People who bought automatics now have cars that aren’t worth shit so wrong listings aren’t uncommon...
I’m not sure what it is but it’s probably terrible.
Like what other reasons are there? It being a Buick in the first place?
Oh shit I did not remember it was Jeff Zwart.
Well they do have M Performance and the like and I certainly see where you’re coming from. They also sell things like M Tech wheels etc. As far as branding exercises from the manufacturers themselves, that’s exactly what they’re trying to capitalize on. People know what M and AMG are so if perhaps someone cannot…
And what’s undoubtedly true is that most of the real versions of those cars never get driven as they’re high value blue-chip classics now and that’s the real shame. About a year ago I saw a video I forgot in what context (might have been Hoonigan) about a guy who lives in Colorado and every winter puts studded tires…
Not sure how okay I am even with those. Somehow they dilute the awesomeness of the real thing because when you see one you always wonder, is it real?
So you want to race at Le Mans? You don’t quite have the money to stretch for an LMP2 car but you want the closest experience you can get to a Le Mans Prototype?
A Fiesta RS.
Which is exactly what I said. Are you claiming relative power is not proportional to RPM? Obviously the equation ends in a different constant if you use kilowatts or newton meters as your unit for power or torque.
Their discussion of relative power at rpm based on the equation Power = (Torque x RPM)/5252 is incorrect?
This is a fantastic article. The problem with street racing is the appeal. It’s stupid but tracks are expensive as hell for people my age to get on. That’s a problem we should be working on. Eg how to make clubs like the SCCA cheaper and more accessible for people with less means.
After buying a “perfect” (according to two fairly reputable inspections) Miata and taking it to my first autocross and promptly blowing every shaft seal in the driveline, I put it up on jack stands in my garage and dropped the transmission to replace the seals and the clutch. That was in March. It’s still not back…
Well as far as all practical concerns go, I have to say you’re right (though I can’t profess to have any personal experience in a Ghibli).
This is a thinking man’s exotic car. You can drive it everyday and some people might say that makes it less of an exotic car. Those people are wrong. What an NSX is is a test of character. Is it really necessary to be able to do a gratuitous burnout with 750 lb-ft or torque? Or would you rather scintillatingly carve…
