The Alfa V6 is a pretty common transplant engine given there's a 24 valve 3.2l version. the Hawk ones used the same engines but that kit is super ancient now. http://www.listerbell.com/products/str CAD and everything. Modern as gently caress.

HEY VAPER posted:good news, aw11 prices have hit rock bottom and even poors can buy a car that will actively try to kill them at the slightest driver error Maybe the supercharged ones, I guess. I don't know, never drove one. The regular ones were underpowered but fun. I wound up having to dodge some object on the highway (looked like a barrel, didn't see it clearly as it was just over a hill), went nearly sideways on the shoulder at highway speeds, and got it back under control. Point being, it handled really well and I don't know what the gently caress you're talking about.

Yeah, AW11s handle pretty awesome, unless you're a babby that can't countersteer for poo poo. They're also so light that engine swapping in from a 90s corolla is a p sweet upgrade with no loss of reliability.

Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers are marketed to divorced middled aged men who are reclaiming their youth through a car with 2 doors. By the time you can afford one you should be buying a van, or at least a car with 4 doors.

mustangs are dental hygenist cars. nobody buys camaros. you are correct on the challenger thing also since we live in RV parks we see a few gypsies (they're not all throw-babies-at-you-gypsies but they do wear spandex and run asphalt scams) and without a doubt they will have one of those enormous FX4 pickups with fake beadlocks and a yellow light on top and a magnetic asphalt company sign on the door. they also break a lot because i see dudes under them all the time

They had the job of following on from where the 22B left off, which was already Peak Impreza and would occupy a spot in my garage if I had a spare $50K. Plus, the whole WRC thing. It was hilarious watching one of the greatest cars in rallying go from being a front-runner to being unable to cross a small stream without grinding to a halt.

Pretty sure this is owned or was owned by another goon. I think a video game studio wanted to use it at a convention only the moving company that they used messed it up pretty good and there was a huge poo poo storm with who was at fault. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Sorry but to me, any RWD car is going to be more fun than any FWD car. No hate for the fiesta but someone shopping for mustangs wouldn't like FiST's.. Stock the FiST is a little nicer, but $500 in chassis stiffening and the mustang straight up feels like a higher quality car than the FiST. v6 ecoboost mustang is faster than the v8's from just a few years ago, with more low end torque and daily drivability...

luckily for mustangs camaros etc, we're going to start seeing backup cams as a standard feature come 2016. Because holy poo poo mustangs and camaros are undrivable in their current state. Might as well post the first actual over-rated cars in this thread  cool car but doriftu anime and boy races ruined enough of them that at the end of the day it's a shittier japanese e30 that costs twice as much for the sake of rarity  goes without saying, not bad cars but horribly overrated and overvalued. They're 1-2k tops if very clean and people regularly want 2-3x as much.  (any generation, payin over $100,000 to beta test broken bmw features in the name of luxury)  Any generation, all modern civics are garbage and all old ones are thrashed with $5000 asking prices. Early civics would be an exception if they were still cheap (underrated)  first gen drive and steer by wire in a lifeless sedan and horrible throttle response that looks good on paper, suckering people into buying them. Universally garbage tier.  All of these, also g35 g37 and 350z  Just this generation I'm sure I'm missing a lot more... jetta, convertible bug (hard tops are acceptable because it's a glorified gti for $10k less) HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Feb 14, 2015 |

I didn't know there's a v6 ecoboost mustang.. I don't think there is? That would actually be really cool. As far as I know it's just the 2.3l inline 4. Also no one really cares about mustangs a few years ago.. Ford has been stepping up its game recently with the new economy cars, the new mustangs, the aluminum chassis on the f150, their supercar, and even that little open wheeler they made for giggles Before that it was just heavy dodge poo poo and stuff like the z28 for the 'merica cars

Sorry, i4 turbo, which is still faster than the previous generations' v8's and a lot more fun to hoon on. Main/only real reason to get a GT nowdays is the sweet v8 exhaust note.

The mustang is a sports car with a modern suspension and rwd With a tasteful level of options they both cost the same. Nothing against the FiST but it isn't as good of a car as the new mustangs. They're both good cars, just a weird comparison to make because as you said they're totally different cars. If you've never driven a mustang with proper chassis and subframe stiffening done you haven't actually driven a mustang tho. HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Feb 14, 2015 |

Been driving my WRX premium since I bought it new in 2011. Still love it. Gas mileage is only like ~20 in city, but my "commute" to work is only ~8 minutes so it doesn't matter. Hatchbacks are awesome for carrying home stuff from home depot too. (bought it in cash because im still single and in my thirties gently caress yeah *cry*)
