    I appreciate your enthusiasm and applaud your results, but the Challenger is encroaching into Mustang one-off territory.

    I'm waiting for someone to release special editions/packages that address the shortcomings of most of these muscle cars.


    Challenger: weight reduction kit

    Camaro: Suspension/steering geometry tweaks

    Mustang: 6.2L Boss V8 (or the factory blower I've been hearing about).

    @Maymar is (insert recent meme here): It's odd and disappointing that the 40k++ GXP sedan turns out to be a better sports car than the Camaro SS.

    You see the Pacer juxtaposed next to the GT and your eyes inexplicably flick to the GT, then away again. The GT, for all its sinuous beauty, has been done. It hearkens to the genes of Lamborghinis, Ferraris it was born in defiance of, and of course the GT 40 that came before. In a quest for speed, the GT's form must follow function. Your brain knows this. We've been ogling fast cars with decreasing fascination since we were old enough to know that not all cars are the same.


    But the Pacer's function was a bit woolier. Big car feel, small car economy, and distinctive appearance were all on the playbook. So it's wide like a big car, short like a small car, and it definitely looks distinctive. It's not the same, to be sure.


    If I had to choose between the two, I might have to flip a coin. GTs are fabulous cars, no mistake. But they're new and were carefully crafted by a gigantic corporation with deep pockets and every example sold is usually lovingly cared for and tucked away in an air conditioned garage. Pacers, well...aren't. Seeing one moving under its own power grabs my attention at least as quickly as spotting an exotic car in the flesh.

    I almost hate to admit it, but back in '75 when I was buying my first brand new car, I actually test drove a new Pacer X. I'm quirky enough that I really liked it. Then I went to the Chevy dealer and saw a new '75 Chevy Laguna Type S-3 and bought it right off the showroom floor on the spot. It was silver with black trim and a much better choice.

    @K5ING:


    No one here is going to criticize you for making that choice. At least you gave the Pacer its due, that's all anyone can ask.


    What happened to the Laguna? Those cars are awesome. Didn't they have swivel bucket seats?

    Pacer > R8. Know why?


    When you drive a Pacer as nice as this one, people give you the thumbs up because they like it, too.


    When you drive an R8, people extend a different finger, eventhough they secretly want one.

    @Uncle Bo, piston forger: I have the same obnoxious reaction to both, actually, except to different extents.


    If I see a Pacer or a Fairlane or any such thing I shout and whoop and shake my arm out the window and all that jazz; if I see an R8 or Lamborghini I keep my whoop down and my arm in the car, but I still do it in relative privacy. The Lambo drivers don't need any more ego boosts, anyway.


    Special dispensation: Ford GT drivers get the full whoop and shake because they're awesome.

    The most Jalopnik of all cars, the Pacer. This is why all the other "mainstream" car blogs don't get it. The love of something from Kenosha, Wisconsin can never be explained.
