Now I actually lived in a trailer at Irvine Meadows... But that is a story for another day.

They are Pony cars, not sports cars or muscle cars, there is a difference. Muscle cars are large American 2 door cars with big engines made from 1964-1972 (some 73's and some South African and Aussie cars) Pony cars are midsized American cars with sporty intentions often offered with large engines made from 1964.5 - 197? (depends on how you look at it)

And let the flaming begin...

Why does BMW insist on making the sunroof standard on the big engined cars like the 335 and e46 m3... No dealer ever checks the sunroof delete option...

And I have had 2 cars where the extra MPG from the premium offset the price...

Did you leave traction control on for that amazing throttle lift at 10 feet?

Although that being said the Z4m coupe is amazing looking outside, and prove Bangle can do one thing right.

The 427 SC that held the 0-100-0 record...

a Couger Boss Eliminator

Both of these have been there for over 15 years before the big muscle car resurgence.

Now Drive around HB or Eastside Costa Mesa and there is some awesome cars sitting in driveways. Heck 2 rover 3500 and a few MG's next door, 2 jeepsters, a hudson hornet, some nice studies...

As for these numbers... For the love of god and all that is holy! Who cares if it can turn or not, it will eat anything on the straights and out of the hole. Although the CTS platform is pretty good (except the steering feel), although to save $ and keep the price down, I am going to bet the suspension will be a weak spot on this car.

It was made even worse by the actual GTR located about 50 feet away.

Now SMG and DSG are totally different driving one of these is not like a manmatic slush box at all, and in many ways is a revelation once you get used to them. The control of a manual but faster shift times and no clutch to worry about, there is a reason that F1 cars have these.

I personally drive an M3 with the SMG, and have driven the Audi DSG and played with the Ferrari setups. Pull back should upshift, push forward should be downshift, nuff said. If I am hard breaking I want to be able to downshift, and not accidentally force an upshift.

I think the backwards orientation came from the automatics that had a d3 mode or sport mode that you got from pulling back which in at least Hondas would force a downshift on an automatic.

wait nevermind I did not know this...

Sure a lightweight chevell can turn a fast quarter with no turbos and a small block, but look at what else is going on with that car. 12.5 inch wide drag slicks for sure from the same source you used and I would lay money down that alot of that cars body is fiberglass and the total cost of that car with his mods is over 100k spent which is more then a GTR. But would this car be fun or easy to go pick up groceries? Or hit the correct line on a racetrack, or even be able turn with those 4 inch wide front tires?

Hell if I put drag slicks on my e46 M3 I can shave about .5 a sec and pull 12.5 quarter all day long with no lightweight mods and that is only 333hp at the crank. drop another few pounds by gutting the interior and carbon fiber high 11.s are possible. But is that the point of the car? No the point is a well rounded driving machine that can turn and be comfortable on the road and on a racetrack.

Look at P cars the 911's are not fast to 60 or in the quarter, the Cayman S o-60 time is what like 5.1 on a good day? but that car will beat any piece of American iron that is faster in a straight line on a track all day long.

As for the Vigor it was an inline 5 that I am pretty sure was mounted transverse.

I'm talking with the guy via email, he was told it was an NSX engine, he did not do the swap... SO pretty much it is a c32a1 block, not a c32b.

That engine looks like to me a cs32a1 engine or the 200hp version judging from the intake runners and the way everything is aligned on the engine. That is not even a c32a5 or type II block that puts out 230 hp.

Also there is little parts commonality between the c32a and the c32b. The c32a engines where SOHC with a variable intake, the c32b was a completly different bottem end, and the heads where DOHC and VTEC. So this is not a bastard combo of engines, like my Z car with a 75 2.8 block with factory racing heads from a 70 2.4 litre with a crank shaft from a 82 diesel Maxima (This strokes a 2.8 block to 3.2 and fixes the compression with the earlier heads.)

Not like I know anything about this, I was thinking about mid mounting a c32b and rear susp from a wrecked NSX into the trunk of my 95 legend coupe and changing the car to a mid rear setup. FYI it will work, but you are not getting a c32b up front longitudinally just not going to happen.

who cares.

Soo... lets look at what sporty cues are there.

fender flares? No
high beltline? No
big looking wheel arches? No
Powerdome Hood? No
Decklid Spoiler? No

Lame Euro looking roof spoiler? Check!

Also dear ford, while lots of "brushed metal" on your interior works on the Volvo c30/s40 it looks cheap here.

The Corvair looks good and is an awesome beach cruiser always wanted a Monza spider...

The 92 LX stang is one of the best stangs out there, still had the 5.0 and much lighter then the GT...

454 truck... Need you say more? quick and lots of pulling power.

pimp caddy, great year for those and those look great in Desert Sand (pink)

72 Challenger with a mid sized v8 nothing wrong there.

63 impalla is a steal way under valued next to the 64 and pretty much the same look.

Any volvo with an R

e46 M3's

M coupes, because they are rare period.

Already proven as fake. The background is from a GT40 shot that was flipped located here.

The car started as an Audi R8 (check rear side windows) then had a e92 M3 stretched to fit the dimensions.

Ditto, you should pullback to upsift, and push forward to downshift... that way if you are under extreme braking you will downshift, F1's and BMW and I think Ferrari are the only ones that do it right.

Sorry had to take the dig, but slow news day?

Not feeling the wheels on this one though.

Rock on Boys Rock on!

Spoken like a man that has worked on SU's NOT!!!! SU's are way better the webers once you know how to work on SU's they are easy to tune and stay in tune, not like webers that are annoying to tune right. Most Z guys are going back to the SU's now.

Org 68k miles 73

73 with a l28 block and e31 heads prepped for the track...
