If I don't see at least a gold foil wrapped Viper on my way to the freeway every morning, it's a boring day (also an LFA)

Those things are fuckng awesome, but lol, $12000 US dollars. That's a $5k car in canada which is like $3800 US. That steering wheel wear. keep in mind that's a car that's claimed to have 69,000 miles Looking at their website, you could probably do really well buying up $5000 cars in canada and sitting on them for a year until they hit 25 years old and dropping them in the states.

R33s and R32s are pretty cheap. I'm sure the wave will come and go there like it did here, you're just 10 years behind. This time next year you'll be drowning in 2JZ aristos with sellers claiming "it's basically a supra sedan"

MetaJew posted:How terrible is an automatic in this generation rotary? It basically kills the engine in the RX-8 doesn't it? That specific one has a shift kit, so better. Not ideal but it's more driving style vs the actual auto that ends up killing them. If you drove a Cosmo in anger all the time with the 4 speed auto it would live a long an happy life. Edit: It's also worth noting that at the time - I'm not sure if the turbo 5 speed from the RX-7 would have given Mazda the margins they needed in regards to durability, so it's entirely possible that was another reason the Cosmo's ended up with the auto - they could withstand more power. That specific Cosmo @ 12psi probably makes 380hp. McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Oct 29, 2015 |

I see a guy here in Raleigh driving around in a Pulsar GTi-R sometimes, it appears to be his daily based on the timing and frequency. It is indeed loving ugly but in a lovable way and that rear hatch wing contraption is hilarious in person.

When I was in Japan a buddy of mine had a GTiR, he had a rich Japanese girlfriend that bought it for him brand new. I poo poo my pants in it more than a few times delivering tofu over the mountain.

The Pulsar was raced under Group C regs here. A link to pics https://www.google.com/search?q=Gib...AIVj5WICh3m5AQF A write-up http://www.n12turbo.com/files/NISSAN%20MOTORSPORT%20PULSAR%20_EXA_%20GROUP%20C.htm from the article:- Most of the nastiness can be put down to three things: 330 horsepower (246kw), front wheel drive and a locked diff. Couple that with an all up weight of 750kg and it starts to make some kind of sense...sort of. Fred Gibson tells the tale of following Christine down the mountain at Bathurst in the Bluebird. Once past Forrest's Elbow, he pulled out of the slipstream to pass the Exa and proceeded to sit on it's rear quarter for the entire length of Conrod Straight. That gives you some idea of how much squirt this little monster has. and... It's the most unusual of all the Gibson collection cars and the term animal is quite apt. It's an ornery little bugger and from reports of the driving experience, it bites too. Christine Gibson, the cars chief steerer has a legacy of it in the form of a dicky wrist from when it spun the wheel out of her hands and broke her wrist and dislocated her thumb. So a ladies car it is. Just with a little torque steer though...

A local European auto shop brought this 1955 Mercedes 300SL by for an alignment:   I never thought I'd see the day...  CroatianAlzheimers posted:Uh, I need to know what's going on with this Thriftmaster. Me too. It's still at the shop waiting on a few other steering parts and I do plan on asking the owner about it, stay tuned.

 So, I was trying to find some images of flat/satin black '69 or '70 AMC rebel 2 doors to see if they look as awesome in real life as they did in my head and I came across this thing. I don't care if photo is in black and wire, it looks gorgeous and so much more menacing than the actual Machine.

Saw this thing hanging out at the store. No idea what it is riding on but who wouldn't want to be taken to the afterlife in a sweet 4x4 cadillac hearse.
