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

The slant front mustangs seem to be popular in this thread i've just noticed.

I know phil you and FSX own one each xD

 

How big is the risk of ramming your fist into the dash with that shifter? xD

 

High lol.

 

The shifter is a solid six inched too far forward. Plus you cant have anything in the first cup holder in a manual car, you will knock your drink over when you go into second gear lol.

 

It has its quirks.

No one is forcing you to buy one... 

Yes, yes I know that, yet on the second tought I rather drive a Mustang than a riced BMW, Mustangs are cool too, just as every car

I've never hit my hand in to the console with the shifter, neither had my dad and he was bigger than me. :P

I'm about to buy a pretty nice E46 320 this weekend...

Just over 70,000km on it. That's nothing for a car at that age. Even my dad's two and a half year old AUDI has gone over 80,000.

400$? How is he complaining? That is comparatively cheap

So. I'm wanting a 240SX now. It's cheaper and better than the Prelude.

So. Yay or nay?

Dude just get what you like.

Why not buy X?

I don't understand why people go act like "well don't buy this because I think it's ugly."

 

I think rice buckets are ugly but if that's your taste then go ahead and buy it if it makes you happy.
