$2 million for a 20 year old car that isn’t a Ferrari or Bugatti (and even then, oy) is just flat-out retarded.

A Corvette will definitely do it. If it can fall 20 or 30 feet into a goddamn sinkhole and still start, it will do 500,000 miles no problem.

Those look like F40 wheels!

That watch looks absolutely awful.

Everyone has a Jeep. There is literally nothing you can do to a Jeep (besides something like LSX Willys, which is basically not a Jeep anymore) that hasn’t been done a million times already and they are boring as hell for that reason.

Lots of gearheads are capable of fixing a body up in their own garage for less than $17k. My dad recently completed a nut and bolt, frame-off restoration of an S10 (granted, they tend to not be tremendously expensive) and he had less than $5000 in doing so (that’s a very liberal estimate counting a motor and frame,…

“Nitrous is like Viagra: it’s cool as shit...until it runs out.” Turbos (preferably with antilag if possible) are the way to go for just about everything, whereas nitrous is more or less just for drag racing.

So glad I’m not the only one annoyed by him. The fact that everyone links to his videos now (normally accompanied by an “I don’t know what I’m talking about and I’m too lazy to learn or actually write, but I still need you to click this link so I can keep my job” article with no technical details) instead of…

I doubt they would go for that much. At that price point, you would almost be further ahead just buying the actual car.

Perhaps I should rephrase: the turbos are where the intake would normally be, which shortens the path the air must travel to the turbos, and into the motor itself. Thank you for the clarification! I was always curious about how putting the turbos in the V worked. I'll have to read up on it some more.

Seems as though it‘s only for people with more money than sense or those who are on a tight time frame. For your average layman who has more time than money, a restoration makes much more financial sense.

I call this “Mopar syndrome.” When the cars were initially built, they weren’t anywhere near as popular as the Fords and Chevys of the time and very few people wanted them. They were so poorly made that many of them rusted away completely over the decades, which meant that very few survived and increased the “rarity”…

You mean you don’t like paying $5000 for a rusted hulk that somewhat resembles a Jeep?

The Dynacorn shells are stupidly priced, considering that you can find a restored ‘67-’69 Camaro for $20-25k all day long and twice on Sunday. Unrestored ones go for even less.

Slab-sided Jeep =/= collectible Porsche

No, but they have made it so you don’t have to spend $114,560,890.67 (not actual cost) to own a Shelby Cobra. Something similar happening to old Porsches would be an absolute godsend to people (like myself) who want one but aren’t willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money for it.

It sounds very angry and I like it quite a lot!

Putting the turbos in the V of a motor (essentially making them part of the intake) dramatically cuts, if not virtually eliminates turbo lag. Nice avatar!

Damn, you’ve got a sexy sounding chainsaw!

I’m going to say what everyone is thinking: ~700HP on 225s in a track car with no cage or harnesses is a death wish. I have 130HP in my vehicle on 205s and I can make the tires squeal at 30 mph on a gentle curve. Five times the power will be virtually uncontrollable. No wonder it scared the owner and he virtually…
