I'm a big fan of the Turbo Trans-Am, although apparently it's slower than the GNX

Fo3 posted:I don't understand the appeal of either. Same reason people like the Typhoon/Cyclone. The GN was one of the fastest domestic production cars of the 80's, was comfortable to drive, easy to fit in, was cheap to insure (it was in the 90's, maybe not anymore), and only came in black. It was a bright light in a sea of 150hp V8's and a Corvette that could barely keep up with itself. The ITR and GN are pretty good examples of the best of the best each continent had to offer to gearheads throughout the 80's and 90's, outside of fancy stuff like the NSX and Viper. Human Grand Prix posted:I'm a big fan of the Turbo Trans-Am, although apparently it's slower than the GNX Oh man I love the Turbo TA, if only for the outrageous styling and gold wheels. There was always one or two of them at the shop next to my friend's shop. They'd typically have over a dozen GN's in there, but there'd also be a handful of TA's and Typhoons as well. Never seen so many black cars at once outside of a funeral. Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Mar 17, 2015 |

I've never driven one and have never been a Honda fanboy but there's one near me for sale; maybe I should go check it out. 13500 for 110kish miles which seems on par with the market from what I can tell.

I can't tell if he's failing to do burnouts, or just moving the car and the taller tires (effectively giving it a lower ratio final drive) are lugging the engine.

And it's owned by my doppelganger apparently. Except he's got longer and slightly-less-red hair. Actually I'm totally saving that pic and making a fake 'look what I bought!' FB post in a couple months, it'll be hilarious. (nobody would believe it right now because winter) It'll also be the closest I get to owning a clean Justy, because they're all awful rustpiles here too

How many 4WD Justys were actually made? I'd love to have one but I can't imagine too many people went into the dealer looking for a cheap economy car with an expensive drivetrain option when they were sold.

 Do I buy this? I'm thinking I should buy it. I've been wanting to get a dedicated car for autocross, and been looking for one of these for about 3 years. This is by far the cleanest one I've found, and ticks all the boxes. 4WS, manual, 130k, supposedly well maintained with records.

Moey posted:I would DD the hell out of that thing. The CXTs were kind of meant for that. Sorta. Well, that and pulling RV trailers and the like. Okay nobody ever figured out what they were really for, or bought the drat things for that matter. I mean the DT466 is an engine you could easily live with as a DD with the right gearing and the Allison 2k series is one of the better automatic transmissions ever made. Air brakes would make it a pain in the rear end though- gotta go somewhere quickly? Too bad, you've got to wait for your poo poo to air up.

 That's not a bad price. quote:1994 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR in great condition. The car is a one owner grade 4.5B and comes with original owner's manual and log books from Japan. The car is completely standard right down the exhaust system and original radio. The rails and sill panels are unmarked and the under body has zero rust whatsoever. Actually, that's a loving great price. Very hard to find these that haven't been completely hogfucked by someone who is 2 fast and 2 furious for their own good.
