I suppose there is no better time to ask, is it still a shooting brake if it a 2 (or technicaly 3) door vehicle? I used to think a shooting brake was a 4 door with a 5th door/rear hatch and that a 2 door version was a hatch back or sportback.

That's a new one to me, that is sexy. Never knew reliant built normal looking cars too.

Not nearly as hot as she does it.

I too have developed more love for forza than GT5, but I never learned anything realistic from forza until 4 came out. GT was the first and longest running most realistic racing game I discovered in this life.

I can afford one, but I still ask, "Why buy a new car to hoon?" I have a 240sx I don't give a damn about that gets raped whenever I please. I have never replaced anything on the car with oem components, I have about 6 grand in it and I have no factory suspension left. Still running the stock ka24de naturally…

SO, it sounds like this car needs more low end torque. Might have kept the rears spinning instead of hooking up. SO, I will be waiting for a used one I can buy in cash that's already hit a few things so I can tear it down and build it before I drive it.

My thought exactly. I bicycle recreationally and competitively and I have hit another riders wheel ahead of me while moving and I have also been rear ended by a car when I was moving. The wheel's forward momentum can't keep going the way it was, and the gyroscopic inertia or whatever sends you sideways and flying,…

Well, I thought this would apply more to lunch than a car, but catfish is looking good here too...

@7shades: Repping the Antipodes:

@Lahjik: Actually someone did that a the grassroots 200x challenge one year with a corvette convertible and an air dam:

Man, I can only hope it gets those weird tiny windows that the svx had.

@d3v: How does that math work, professor?

After careful study of the lights and the rear of the car I am now sold on it being an ae86 for SHO'... no other car has a rear side marker light and the rear light spacing on the back of the car like that. I thought 300z at fist but the side marker is the giveaway.

Okay lets see, is that flash on the rear right corner of the car in the first pic a rear corner marker of some sort? It is very hard to tell the lighting pattern on the car but I think that would be key in finding it. The biggest things I notice are: b pillar paint seems to match body;rear lights lack the up high…

Hmmm, I think I'm in love. That would look perfect in my dream garage near my dream datsun roadster and dream e30 m3.

I used to drive past this car every day at the local corvettes unlimited, that at one time had what had to be no less than a hundred vettes in various stages of rot/resto. I always wondered if they ran parts or lunch in that thing.

I would totally keep on trucking, just write all my fares a receipt for $0.00 and do some good accounting. He could write off all his expenses and file a loss over and again.

The best driver makes regaining or maintain control look easier than losing it.

For net fun vs cost, a 91 miata takes the bag. As in most categories. But my real favorite tiny motor has to be the rb20det of the skyline and cefiro family in Nissan JDM land. 2 liter inline six, factory turbo, and redlines at oh...7800rpms or so. The next model up is 2.5 liter commonly(I know of the 2.4 as well) and…

That intake and turbo setup smells like heat soak.
