fknlo posted:There are a whole lot of cars that fall into this type of category. EVO, STI, and as I'm learning, E46 M3. You just have to be diligent and hope to find something that previous owners haven't beat the poo poo out of and thrown a bunch of lovely mods on. As I found out when I sold mine, Mazdaspeed3 for sure. I got at least $3-4k more for mine than similar models for sale because I didn't have a straight pipe exhaust and green plastidipped wheels. The buyer said he was happy to pay the premium for mine because it was obvious I didn't dump the clutch at every red light and turn the boost up to a million. It was just a clean well kept car with very minimal mods and good service records.

2018 Mustang looks pretty nice. Facelift, V6 is gone, slight power bump, 10 speed auto, digital cluster. http://www.roadkill.com/all-new-2018-mustang-gets-a-facelift-performance-upgrade/

BloodBag posted:I've always thought corvettes were cars for fat old men to drive to and from the icehouse every sunday (same with most harleys). That day did little to change that opinion. Most of them are to scared of the car's off-idle power to really give it the beans. Can confirm, bought mine from an old guy who told me he never floored it because he was afraid of the power, lol.

savesthedayrocks posted:You have to admit they were the poo poo back in the day though. Only thing more early 2000's is Altezza style lights on everything. I remember actively trying to figure out, and eventually finding over-lay gages for my 88 Prelude. Heck yeah, I put two different sets in my Tercel back then. They were hot poo poo. e: dug up some of my old rice rice baby pictures. First set were regular indiglo, second set were reverse backlit. Eventually I took them off and put LED bulbs in when that became a thing.

Cocoa Crispies posted:My '12 Mustang has the flipmode of that; flicking the key to "start" for a fraction of a second just tells the ECU to run the cranking program, which has ruined me for cars with traditional cranking setups. I've had a few rental cars with that feature, love it. Definitely Fords, I had a Vauxhall in Scotland recently that had it too.

The main concern I have with start stop and engine longevity is oil pressure. If the engine's off and your oil pressure is zero, and it has to crank and get you moving in under a second, are you always going to have full oil pressure immediately? In any car I've driven with an oil pressure gauge, it can take a couple seconds to build up, even on a warm start.

Choco Zulu posted:So a few pages back people were excited at the prospect of the Ranger Raptor coming to these shores, and I get the appeal. But what about an Edge Raptor? I was out for a walk yesterday and saw a white Edge with the now-familiar Raptor grille and 3 led's across the top, just under the front lip of the hood. However, it went by so fast that I couldn't get a photo. Has anybody else seen or heard of one? Looks like its aftermarket https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-2017-...=p2047675.l2557

CornHolio posted:I not only think you are wrong but I think it's a largely untapped market. The desire for used performance luxury cars like M5s is an example, and I think a lot of people would be willing to sacrifice the quality of the leather and the rain-sensing wipers for a warranty. Those are pretty much all V6's though.

I've never been concerned about starter life, but I do feel like going from the engine stopped with no oil pressure to started and ramping up to accelerate pretty much instantly can't be good for bearings and such. But there are Prius and Camry hybrid taxis running around with hundreds of thousands of miles so what do I know.

davebo posted:Yeah I think they're okay, although by this point I'm acclimated to the new taillights just fine. When the GXE was first introduced all the comments on car clogs were "lol, GT-R ripoff" though. My major complaint about these is that huge gap between the lights and the edge of the rear. When I got a C5 I immediately noticed how much dirt just accumulated in that gap so I got a kit to make the taillights flush with the rear and much preferred that. I noticed the same with my C5. Maybe they never bothered addressing it because 95% of C5/C6 owners install those chrome tail light louvers. Blech.

Auron posted:The only "issues" I've heard of is some minor gear hunting when accelerating slowly and some low speed whining. There really hasn't been any reliability issues that's I've heard of; obviously there are probably a few outliers. There's quite a few issues with the MT-82 though, mainly aluminum shift forks. Pretty sure most of the MT-82 complaints are people no lift shifting and generally beating the poo poo out of them. Mine's been fine, maybe a little clunky sometimes but nothing I'd complain about.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Yeah you have 400+ hp and it takes you from 0-illegal in less than 5 seconds. Which is a shame since the 2018+ got bumped up to a 7400rpm redline (the 460hp is fun too). It absolutely howls above 6k but I rarely get to hear it. It's a little better with the 3.73's but I'd still like to wind it out more often.

KillHour posted:The only thing I hate about my alcantara seats is they're a pita to keep clean. I have a salt stain on my back seat that is never coming out. Weird, I had Alcantara seats in my MS3 that I owned for almost 8 years from new and they still looked new when I sold it with minimal or no maintenance. But I guess I didn't do anything to stain them.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Cosmetic poo poo, really. Looks like some different colors, wheel styles and monochrome accents with the emblems/badges blacked out. The 18 and 19 are identical other than a new color for 2019. 18 was the refresh year with more power (460hp), new front end, tail lights, quad exhaust, optional active exhaust and mag ride, some other stuff. The two you're looking at just have different packages, the first has the tragic base wheels, the second has the black accent package that includes black wheels and roof and emblems. The PP wheels are best anyway, second maybe to the 20" forged wheels but those are pretty rare. You can definitely get a ton of money off, I got $6k off sticker on my 2018 when they had just come out a month before. I've seen people on the forums getting closer to $10k off 2018's now. Truecar is relatively accurate if you want to get an idea of a good price. opengl fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jan 2, 2019 |
