Yep. I’m honestly surprised the Weapons Grade Performance LS swap didn’t catch on. I’d love to do that for a project car if I had the money and garage space.

I think he meant the BRZ I mentioned. I wasn’t recommending the swap, I just noticed the wheelbase similarity while I was looking for a fun, small, RWD car. But I’d never buy a BRZ that didn’t have at least 100 more hp than stock.
I had a 03 Cobra IRS swapped into my blown 03 GT. Can confirm, ride and handling are 1000 times better and exhaust looks cooler.
Meh, the wheels weren’t exactly perfectly centered in the actual Mustang wheel wells either...
You’re probably confused because it’s a terrible, incomplete article that seems to be written only to make fun of Samsung and vaping.
Agree, I had a ‘98 Cobra and an ‘03 GT and generally liked the interior. None of the panels really matched up perfectly and they were made out of super hard plastic, but who cares. And yes, nothing beats an MGW shifter, especially when it’s bolted directly to the trans like the T56/T3650 setup.
If you want to bitch…
I think the craziest thing here is knowing that the integra and the mustang have the same wheelbase. I had a 2000 GS-R and it was a tiny, tiny car. I’ve had two SN-95 body mustangs and while compact, they didn’t feel nearly as small.
And just for kicks, the current BRZ also shares this same wheelbase.
Still wouldn’t go mudding.
My entire rant (OK, like 99% of it) was directed at the anonymous subjects of the story that destroyed this poor guy’s farm, including the assholes comment. The only part directed at the author was “why is mudding fun?”
I prefer the mud to be on big rocks that I try to climb with my Jeep. It makes it that much more challenging.
And I hate cleaning the mud off my face, seats, and dashboard.
Not really insulting, I just think mudding is the dumbest thing ever. Why not run through the mud? It’s even cheaper and more challenging! And less clean-up afterwards. Cleaning the mud is the worst part in the world, especially when it’s all over your (vehicle’s) interior.
Rock crawling is all about the challenge of making it through a trail/obstacle that doesn’t look passable. We generally wouldn’t use a spotter unless someone is hella stuck or in a dangerous spot. No reason to get out and spot when everyone has a well-built rig and knows what they are doing.
Hours to make it over an…
Meh, closest places to me are 2-3 hours away. I’ve driven up to 9 hours for a weeklong trip. It is a rather odd hobby seeing as 80% of it is spending money on parts and working on your vehicle, and very little time is spent actually wheeling.
But yeah, I wouldn’t waste my time going ‘mudding’ if it was a 5 minute…
I spent 6 or so years of my life and countless thousands of dollars in the rockcrawling world. I have absolutely no idea how it is considered fun to drive around in an open field in a truck and spin the tires in the mud. Were these dudes just super drunk and stupid? What is exciting about that? Driving into mud and…
We used “womb broom” as a team name for Movember trivia last year. Our team won, so they had to keep saying it over and over. A couple women there were not pleased haha.
So much hate for the BMW. I did this very thing when I was in my late 20s, buying a 2007 E90 335i in 2010 when they came off lease. $28k for a $45k car with 23k miles, 300hp and a manual trans. Loved that car, it drove like an absolute dream. Definitely more fun than I imagine a BRZ would be. Regardless of the…
Well, you know how you squat down to fill up a tire when it’s on a truck. My truck at work has a slow leak, so it gets driven around a lot on low pressure, which I’m sure is not great for it. So every time I fill it up, I’m worried the damn thing is going to blow up right in my face. So I turn my body away from the…
It’s actually pretty reassuring that the old tire held up to over 200psi. Sometimes I get worried about filling a ~10 year old tire with 40 psi, especially if it has a few stress cracks in the outer casing. I always turn my face and balls away from the tire as I fill it.
Just drove 8 hours each way from NoVa to Savannah, GA last weekend. I’d say 70% of the assclowns holding up traffic driving going slow in the left lane were Jersey drivers. The remaining 30% were from NY. It’s like you guys go on vacation specifically to hold up traffic on I-95.
Based on the last couple flights I’ve taken with at least American and United, I don’t find this article to be even remotely true. Other than southwest, every airline I’ve seen puts you in a boarding group and you board when they call that group, no matter where your seat is on the plane or in each isle. Seat Guru…
