I’ll preface this comment by writing that I haven’t really spent any time in a newer Camaro or Mustang, but last I checked, one thing that REALLY makes the Charger stand out compared to the competition is that it actually has a usable rear seat. I’ve had terrible luck with Chrysler products, but for that reason alone

Wish they would extend this program to support other significant cars from the Nissan line... How about “L” series engine parts from the S30 chassis and VG parts for the z31 and z32? Had a heavily modified 300ZX TT, and some of the reason that I sold it was not wanting to deal with the eminent “partocalypse” that

Seriously, though... I logged in just to star you.  Good read.

Here’s a friendly reminder that, no matter how cool an old car is, ownership can be a nightmare if the manufacturer is phasing out parts production. As the owner of a 1995 urS6 (same basic AAN engine as what’s in the RS2) and a Z32 TT, and can give painfully accurate testimony to the above. My Audi is currently parked

In the late 70s, my parents traded a Chevelle SS for a Peugeot 504 sedan. A couple of years later, they traded the sedan for a Peugeot diesel wagon.

Closest cousin to this car is the naturally aspirated Z32 300ZX. Same basic drivetrain, a lot of shared suspension components, and even the fuel tank is mounted up high behind the rear seat (eats into storage space... These cars didn’t have a lot of interior room). Having owned one thinking it would be kind of like a

Well, look at that. Reminds me of the scoops on the WS6 package that was on the last Firebird. I’m glad this car exists, but they can only keep it (kind of) relevant with power, scoop, and sticker packages for so long. I really hope Fiat-Chrysler ignores Ford’s approach to the car market eventually bucks up for a

Has anyone mentioned the T100? Maybe I missed it, but in terms of tough old Toyotas that can be bought on the cheap, I figure that’s one of the best deals going. The prices aren’t quite as inflated as you normally see with old Tacomas, and it offers a little more size and utility. The extended cab is still pretty

I still wouldn’t mind having a 96 model with an LT-4. Pretty BA car.

Especially that NS spartan cab version. Still one of my favorite modern era locomotives.

The C5 Z06 still stands out in my mind as one of the best cars I’ve ever had the opportunity to drive. It was faaaaaaast, and still holds its own by today’s standards. I liked that it wasn’t, for me at least, a barely controllable, scary, “I just pooped a little” fast, but it was a Goldilocks kind of performance- just

My bonehead move aside, I’m impressed by how nice everyone is about it! On a typical automotive forum, at least three people would have told me to off myself by now, and another dozen or so would have anxiously informed me that my mom is a whore.

I’d delete it, but I guess I can’t now. This post was pretty indicative of my day yesterday... Attempts to ramble on the internet didn’t even work right.

AWWWWWW, GAWD, &$@&&$&&!!!!!

Hell yeah, it’ll fail. That what the Supra does, and as some have mentioned, it has already been positioned at the fork of two dead end roads:

Ugh. There’s some funny stuff here, and between the video and article I’ll admit I was entertained, but the facts regarding the Vette’s specs are so far out of whack that I want to scream, and for some reason it keeps popping up when I’m cruising this site. This is the equivalent of comparing, say, a base Cayman to a

Good lawd at those fenders! Yeah... Subaru has proven to be quite the tease over the years. It’s not just that they water down the concepts, it’s that the production car usually ends up being ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the concepts they’ve put out- especially where the WRX is concerned.

Unpopular opinion: The Mk III was the best looking of the Supras- especially the later versions that had the spoiler that blended with the body on the ends and the tail lights “smoothed out” to connect with each other above the license plate.

Headgaskets? On a MKIV? I had no idea that was an issue. On a MKIII with the 7MGTE, YES, it was a VERY common problem, but I thought it was amended in both the 1J and 2j engines. I’ve always been under the impression that a MKIV that wasn’t modded to Hell and back is a very reliable car. I do, however, think that the

It’s a joke, and I laughed, but in the back of my mind, whenever I read those type statements I can’t help but think, “These are the types of ‘talk down to the working class’ liberal elitist comments that pervade online media and push blue collar folks toward the belief that the left wing consists of ivory tower
