Make them drive a Cavalier, doesn't really matter what year because every single edition was a miserable car. Though the third gen was by far the worst.

They were cheap though, and had an American name, so people bought them in hordes.

They have those in Australia already.

InitialDave posted:

Even better, it's Australian dollars.

Not the American dollar value equivalent to AU$1500 (it's about US$1150), but actual Australian kangaroo money notes. Part of the challenge is finding a car lot sketchy enough to accept them (saying they're Canadian is allowed).

Roadkill made the post, so I'm pretty sure they mean American dollars.

The obvious answer is gonna be Mustang, but I like the idea of a Fox body - for added hilarity, make it a 4 cylinder.

An earlier picture was posted with #boostcaboose and I think that's the car that used leaf blowers for forced induction so I'm hoping for an engine on a trailer making boost for the engine in the car.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

I'm disappointed by the lack of aux injectors spraying directly into the compressor inlets.

The engine is a full built unit they shiped from Australia for drag week. They ran the stock engine last year and was one of the slowest runners. Unsure on the drivetrain though.

I hope this counts as awesome. I tried mounting a camera for a POV shot thinking it'd be A) The wrong angle or B) Too unstable, but it turned out suprisingly well.

It's, uh, a little presumptuous to post your own dashcam videos of a sunday drive in a thread full of pictures of engines blowing themselves apart with nitrous and turbines that take fifteen seconds to spool, don't you think? I mean it's fine and all but to me it's kind of a :geno:

There's not even any tire squeal. Pretty sure I could ride that faster on my motorcycle, and it has like 1/10 the contact patch.

Don't cross the double yellow.

Sadly this is just a thing. I have lots of helmet cam videos that were a total blast to film, but watching them afterwards they're kind of boring. Need the actual sensation for it to be interesting.

Lesson learned. it felt fast at the time.


the lesson is: buy more expensive tires, add horsepower, and drive fast enough to potentially die, and return to the thread in triumph!
