@ChazzyD: This seems to attract all things strange and hideous.
Until now, I thought that the aligator was the strangest, most awkward, and downright ugly motorcycle ever built. But this is just horrifiying.
Even if it is just a photochop. Obvious repeating plants are obvious ;]
@YankBoffin: Holy crap! And I thought Aztecs were ugly little buggars. This is the stuff of nightmares.
@Nyakempanyo: Holy soft springs Batman!
@MushyHeirloom: And that there kids, is why I'll take a $25 fix-it ticket from time to time. Suck it red light cameras.
My memories of Mavericks are all bad. While working at a seedy used car lot, I was asked by the boss-man to put a 74 "grabber" (it was a fake...) back together.
Shitty carburetion, a few leaky trans-cooler lines, horrid suspension, and a rotting interior are what I remember. That, and thinking that it really wouldn't be that cool of a car anyway.
Crack Pipe.
@brc is never late, because of his v8: All you need is a clutch on the blower a la Mad Max and the last of the V8 interceptors.
@Tanshanomi: Accept em? I've gone to great lengths to remove all sorts of creature comforts. Mostly I do it to save weight, but in some sort of small way, I feel like a bad ass and a rebel. There's just something inherently awesome about a car that weighs in under a ton, has no side glass, no dash, no interior of any kind, gets it's breathing done with a carburetor, and often spits flames.
@KVHnik: I dont either. But I do have Vuze which lets me keep up with MotoGP and World SBK for free.
I'd bet it'll work just fine for WRC.
The tires! They're Enormous!
That did it for me. If this thing had street rubber on it, it would just look silly. With Pirelli slicks though, it's all business.
It's the equivalent of a superbike; 100% racing machine, no bullshit creature comforts, but with lights so (in theory) you can take it out for some late night hooliganism. It really makes me happy to see a car like this.
Someone figure out how to stick a plate on the back.
@Goingincirclez: They really have Days of Thunder on bluray?
Rad.
@Alex Conley: Using the F20C as a reference probably was a bad idea... But I stand by my point. It's a super lame car, and for the money, would have been better left un-messed with.
@alexander_the_car_salamander: Yup. See my post below.
Seriously? A pipe, a retune, "sport suspension," and a body kit topped off with tinted taillights?
It's really hard to hate a Ferrari, but these guys are making it a lot easier. Come on, Raider Nation-esque tinted lights?
I can't believe how little you get for 15 grand. An exhaust and a reflash really isn't much, and it's sad too because I'm sure there's power left in that motor but they probably aren't even willing to look for it. a set of cams and a nice bump in the compression via lighter, stronger aftermarket pistons would probably give a huge gain. At 660hp, it's only doing 110hp per liter, which in today's world isn't really anything special. Back in 2000, honda's little F20C made 120 per liter, and th'ats with a stock pipe. I'm sure it sounds amazing, and goes like stink, but I just cant get over the fact that these guys sell a $15,000 "stage 3 performance package" that includes no actual engine work and that people will really buy this.
And seriously, tinted taillights on a Ferrari?
/Sad engine fanatic is sad.
@Feds: 13B's bring endless depression and empty bank accounts.
You know it's bad when you can recognize the sound of the apex seals tinkling down the exhaust.
@GK-421: Turns out liquids ain't compressible. May cause crackpipe'd pistons, bent rods, and general fubar-ness.
@Whydoesthisalwayshappentome: Alas, it is only a prop. That awesome scoop, pulling from nice clean air, just puts a little extra pressure on the window.
Ouch. Nearly six grand? Maybe if it had a gte, some nice wheels, and a clutch pedal.
@Froggmann: I had a 1991 Ford Explorer that I drove for a few months on a cracked head. Good times...
@Mark Arnold: I saw one on my way home from mulholland on PCH last sunday. Amazing. And it sounds absolutely mean too.
@Andy Wallwhore: Thats a seriously straight body, too bad it's likely going to be bashed to pieces tomorrow.
