Depending on year, it had between 88 and 105 hp, and 130 lb-ft vs the Vulcan's 140/160. I miss my slow-as-gently caress '89 3.0 rolling couch. I still want an 89 SHO.

I still occasionally poke around for a SHO as well. Mine was an 89 too. Pretty sure 89 Vulcan had 130hp, which to be honest I would've taken the the hit in horse power in order to have a manual and the ability to rev above what seemed like 3,500 rpm

I'll admit that question 11 is where I was playing to win, because SO MANY modern cars are "reliable", it's not the 90s anymore and what really ends up clinching modern car rankings is interior (Ford Focus fit&finish and materials) and fun (mazda3's excellent handling and gearbox for a econobox). But just because most modern cars are very reliable (did I mention it's not the 90s?) doesn't stop every. single. poster. in the car buying thread from listing their top priority as 'reliability' because poo poo, it's not like they want an unreliable car.

meatpimp posted:Mazdaspeed 3/6/Miata, Fiesta ST, Focus ST. Most of the answers to #12 are invalid. Honda Accord as a "fantastic driver's car"? The joke is that they don't currently make a Mazdaspeed 3, pimp. Although apparently they might be coming back for 2017.

leica posted:The only reason I even thought of the Accord is because I have been looking for a good modern(ish) DD with a manual on a low budget, and the newer manual Accords are super cheap because apparently no one wants a manual Accord. Even cheaper than or right on par with manual Civics of the same years. I haven't driven one yet, but I imagine with the V6 or the even the K series and a manual would be a fun practical ride. Before I called bullshit on a stupid Accord of any flavor, I played around with the Honda web page and, while you can only get the Accord sedan with a manual paired to an anemic 189hp 4-cylinder, the Accord Coupe is available with a manual and the 278hp 6-cylinder. I stand corrected, that would probably be a pretty entertaining ride. Liquid Communism posted:The joke is that they don't currently make a Mazdaspeed 3, pimp.

Yeah the Volvo 240 had GT, Turbo, and even Intercooled Turbo homologation models for racing. Maybe not high performance, but definitely a performance trim over the years. Otherwise I mighta picked it. quote:Volvo S60 - El Jebus Well I guess we can tell who's read Twilight and who hasn't.

I stand corrected, that would probably be a pretty entertaining ride. And to be fair to the four cylinders, there is a huge aftermarket for them if you wanted more HP out of one. To me though 190 HP is just fine as long as the chassis is good. But the V6/manual coupes I have seen so far have been cheap as hell so it would be hard to overlook them, I'm gonna have to drive a couple to see how they feel.
