Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

This is freakin awesome. Love how they control the boost, holding it back just enough for the tires to hook, then unleash the high boost. :D

@RevoltTrain i forgot to mention yesterday as a potential option. why not e60 m5? they can easily be found under 30 grand, and some can be found in a manual. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/5832729839.html. plus, screaming v10.

theyre so expensive to run, especially if something goes wrong

Needs money for car parts :P

It begins!! Cheering on our boys from north of the border as they start their weekend competing at global time attack super lap battle! James Houghton from Toronto will be defending his 2015 Limited FWD title in his R Division Type r.  Will from PZ Tuning out of Waterloo will be challenging the Unlimited FWD title and looking to break the 1:45 track record set by spoon sports last year. 

 

The event runs today and tomorrow at button willow raceway.

Possible, but unlikely, when she goes American 9/10 times she will go GM. Just how she was raised. She has owned a single Ford and loved it, but that was also 20 years ago, don't know how likely something non Chevy from the US would be. Elsewise she'd probably just go Mustang and call it a day even though it's a 2 door.

 

She said she'd prefer a 4 door but a 2 door wouldn't be out of the question

if you want something dead reliable, and fun to drive, look at a 2006-2007 Accord V6 6speed. they're pretty cheap, and those are the years they made them in a sedan. 

 

the sedans are uber sleepers too.

"68 coronet. Produced: 9"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Went to blocket. Punched in coronet and found one immediately

0196288820.jpg

I want to buy it soo bad.. It has a 440 magnum.. $26.000.. (then add the costs involved with having it painted plum crazy..) 

 

And the 1970 super bee. Produced: 4. If that was true someone would've shot freiburger for even driving his. 

Yeah that video doesn't just reek of bullshit. All other kinds of shit as well. And it has forever tainted my youtube account with that view..

A simple google image search is enough to show anyone that those numbers are just pulled right out of the air xD

She won't get something older than the Impala more than likely. She wants RWD or AWD anyway.
