ASC car owner here...RUN!!! Nothing is available for them anymore. RUN.

Rear facing for passenger comfort and entertainment.

Where is the 240SX? I have the feeling they will start going up in price for clean examples soon. But I might be biased. 

The first mass production car fitted with a turbocharger was the Oldsmobile Jetfire, and it also had “Turbo-Rocket Fluid”, a form of water/methanol injection in lieu of an intercooler. It was a failure because shops and gas stations forgot to refill the fluid and then the car would detonate and ping.

I do not muck about in hyperspace. I use Douglas Adams’ measurement of R for vehicle speed; where R is defined as the safe and prudent rate of travel based on vehicle type, maintenance history, local conditions, planet of origin, and not being more than 5 or so minutes late.

Well if that isn’t ugly as sin....

Don’t forget that the EJ motor is also adapted to use in light/sport aircraft and homebuilts for many years due to its flat layout like most light aircraft, as well as its advantage of running on road gas and not the $5-$7 a gallon 100LL leaded avgas. 

Honestly I’d swap all the Mach 1 specific components (engine, hood, wing, interior, etc) from my 2004 Mach 1 into a convertible chassis if the body ever got damaged. I have approval from the Mach 1 Registry to do so and get official recognition as a convertible Mach 1 despite none ever being offered.

There is a flaw in your logic here though. As stated by other commentators, the items called out in the TMZ article all make the cars more dangerous in normal use.

So wait...It is a roadster version of the coupe (Daytona Coupe) version of a roadster (Cobra/AC Ace) version of a Coupe (AC Aceca). But powered by a GM V6 in lieu of the Ford V8 of the Daytona/Cobra OR the Bristol Inline-6 of the original car.

As someone who lives (unfortunately) in a HOA, fuck those kind of people. 

He’s not going for the 7-seater record. He’s going for the “7-Seat, Electric, American, Sedan” record. Please get your facts straight. 

Do you still have the pig nose? Because they are going up in value. For some reason everyone wants the pig nose bumper too....

I’m sorry your recovery took so long. I know a lesser version of the feeling. I was in traffic going 50 and it stopped abruptly. I came to a compete stop with space in front of me, the Jeep Liberty behind me came to a complete stop with about 3-4” between our bumpers, the Yukon behind her did not slow and punted her…

It will do the ton, but the revs were far higher for 70mph than my taste, I always felt like I was redlining it just keeping up with traffic.

Interesting. I have not ridden any of the CB750Fs that my Father owns that aren’t Cafe treated. They are all early SOHC models on the wire wheels not the Comstars. The foam on the Cafe tail is about 3 sheets of single ply toilet paper thick, the bars are clubman and pull you against the tank, and the tires are the…

So I rode a 76 CB750F Cafe as my main bike for about a year. What this ad does not tell you is the actual experience riding one of these. It may look great, and it is an absolute blast on short rides, but there are some major drawbacks.

Yes! I love sharing my love for cars and my love of my cars in particular with others. So yes. I will hand out the keys to my 2004 Mustang Mach 1 and 1993 Nissan 240SX to any friends I know who might be interested. I will always be in the passenger seat unless they’ve driven it before and I totally trust them, but…

I started in a Focus during the tuner craze, then a 04 Mach 1, and got my first 240 in 2009. So yeah, always been like this...

I was into the TUner scene at that time, 20 years later i’m the “Is he Mid-life crisis?” guy driving a lightly modified 240SX Convertible around....How the culture has changed.
