As a decade-plus veteran of the aftermarket/tuning business, that seems insane to me. About half my clients are “kids” in their twenties, and the other half are guys in their late forties up (in between, they all seem to be busy breeding). I’d say you were a likely client for them ... weird that they didn’t perk up.

Whenever anyone asks me about Hennessey, I refer them to this thread: http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/3…

I can personally vouch for the Renault being a monster. It was one of the first cars I ever encountered as a driver, and everything else in my experience since (Moslers, Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, GTRs, you name it ...) has seemed pretty tame in comparison.

In my CR-V you could’ve done all of it. ;)

This thing. After a week of commuting in rush hour in a Smart ForTwo even Jesus and Ghandi would gleefully play a round of “Most Dangerous Game” with the designers of this thing’s POS transmission.

They raced primarily in America, though- no?

Group 44. For more than 20 years, the iconic white and green Jaguars re-set the standard for what good-looking racing livery should be, and their success in SCCA and IMSA brought Jaguar back into big-time international racing with Group C and Tom Walkinshaw. The XJR-15 and XJ220 would never have existed without Group…

She clearly realizes you might be able to do better elsewhere. Ask for a raise.

Even if you need the work!

But will it baby? I recently drove the Trax ... and it will not.

Replace “it was mapped out by a first year design major C student that hated his parents because they wouldn’t let him use his tuition money on an turntable signed by Skrillex” with “it was mapped out by a first year design major C student that hated his parents because they wouldn’t let him use his tuition money on a…

Unless you get rear-ended.

One assumes that their engineers have more expertise in the matter than internet commentators.

The 1992-93 Plymouth Duster 3.0 V6 hits *ALL* the usual Jalop buttons. It was a compact, no frills coupe (check) available in brown (check) with a manual transmission (check) stuffed full of engine from a much larger, heavier vehicle (check).

Sure, the larger, heavier vehicle was a FWD minivan and not, say, a 360 ci…

To answer the question asked by the headline: No. As a former Renault owner, however, I would buy this mid-engined sports car if Honda made it!

I would have said “glory hole” before jellyfish.

Mine were yello.

Although this is definitely my favorite vehicle and sitting at the top of my wish list, having been alive back then I can tell you that the sport truck craze was in full swing, there was an SCCA class, trophy trucks were huge, and the only real surprise here is that there wasn’t a 5.0 Ranger competing against this ...…

No. In my experience they’re just a bunch of stupid hilljacks who think rebel flags are cool and look both ways before telling “hilarious” jokes.
