Re: Let's talk about cars

Except that this is an F-Body Firebird convertible that someone has decided to call a "Sunbird".

Re: Let's talk about cars

I think this really illustrates the subjectivity around what is good/not good about cars - there is a quite significant emotional component for people who are 'into' cars.
I would argue that...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I don't think it's all that difficult to believe. Ford has made a long-term commitment to smaller displacement Ecoboost drivetrain.

I believe that further development of the quad cam 'Coyote' V8...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks - re wax - I got it back from the paint shop on December 10th with strict instructions not to apply anything to it except soapy water for 6 weeks. As a result, I clay-bar'd and waxed and...

This is my 1992 F150 Flareside. I bought it in a very original, but very shabby state from a neighbor for the princely sum of $2750. It is a 4x4 XL Lariat with a 5.0 Windsor EFi V8....

He lead the 66 Indy 500 for all but 10 laps - was a commentator for ABC Sports for donkey's years and a very outspoken advocate for F1 safety (during which he was highly and justifiably critical of a...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I think that modern automatics have become so sophisticated and fast reacting, that they have become viable - even to purists.

I have a 2015 392 Challenger with an 8 speed ZF transmission that is...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I have to say, I did wonder if you may have turned this into a bit of a 'science experiment'. That indeed being the case, I can only applaud your sense of curiosity - and innate mechanical sympathy....

Re: Let's talk about cars

Highly impressive that the friction surface, pressure plate and thrust race have all lasted 340,000 miles. Have you contacted Guinness Book Of Records about this?

I'm all for saving a buck or two...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I'm baffled by this. Why would you NOT replace the clutch when it has that kind of mileage on it, when you have pulled the motor? Just seems crazy to put an old consumable item like that back in...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I brought my Suzuki N1200 Bandit with me, when I moved here.

Unfortunately, living in Central FL, each excursion out on the public highways was a potentially life-altering challenge.

Faced with...

"but pretty useless on anything that vaguely resembles a curve". - it's this bit that's the uninformed bollocks segment.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I agree - uninformed bollocks, from someone who's general views I tend to align with, on this forum.
Not sure if he's trolling, or just doesn't know what he's on about in this regard.
I have a 2015...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I suspect that a $100 radar detector won't be worth a carrot.
I have two - a Valentine V1 and an Escort Passport 8500. Both cost in region of $400. The V1 is superior in terms of directional hits,...

True - he's not building cars for practical road use. The set-up in the video would be undriveable on the street.

Yeah, but low 6 second range is not fast anymore - by anyone's standards - so I suspect that for anyone who knows anything about performance cars (which is quite a lot of people) general consensus is...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I think the main issue with those older Mustangs equipped with modular 4.6l is their rather anemic performance. Less than 300hp is a bit limp-wristed when compared to more recent/current iterations...

If I'm at the front of the line, I always pause when the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Some interesting (and maybe strange) opinions on Camaro vs Mustang.

I think the S550 Mustang has lost a lot of it's identity, due to it's familial styling. Essentially, it looks like a 2 door...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I do - and being a car guy, I'm assuming you are aware of Scat Engineering.
Unfortunate name - but what can you do?
It's not Mustang nimble, but the 485hp compensates to some degree.
