Hahah daytona kicks rear end. I love the 4th to 2nd gear powerslide at 150mph around a hairpin. The poo poo thing was most arcades had the short lap count around where I lived, but when you had the full race length it was awesome.

Why buy a Mitsubishi Evolution when you could rent a Lancer that looks just like it?

metalhead posted:poster nailed the title on this one I notice that that's not using a MAF sensor like most EFI 5.0 swaps would which leaves a few possibilities. Its using ftermarket EFI to decide what to do or its using EEC-IV speed density which is terrible and as far as I know only came ont he Mark VII high po 5.0. All the other 5.0 Speed Density cars are lo-po motors. There's a pretty good chance that 230 is packing a 150HP flat tappet boat anchor.

kimbo305 posted:Arizonans, would that actually be true in your climate? Pretty much. But expect every rubber part exposed to sunlight to be cracked, many plastics to be hardened and cracked, and paints and other finishes to have flaked off. Rust is pretty much not a problem...but in exchange you get other problems. They're still a big deal (paint is a big deal, weatherstripping is a big deal), but I think most people would still take them.

Paul Boz_ posted:J bodies are hipster cars? Well, the car of choice is a Ford LTD, but those are harder and harder to find. If you happen to walk past Beauty Bar on 6th in Austin you will see the streets littered with J-bodies which work as a substitute. Blue, preferably faded if possible.

J bodies aren't even ironically bad, K cars used to be the shitpile of choice for the smug rear end in a top hat, I can't even remember how many Reliants were in the parking lot at high school. That and pickups made from 1974 to 1989. Hipster Chrylsers are the big thing, nothing is more smug-ironic than an 80s Dodge Caravan.

Honorary British. They were modeling the Miata on old British roadsters in every respect except reliability.

An older lady asked me if my Miata was a Triumph Spitfire. I had the hood up and the lights up so it might have been a bit easier to confuse. But I think some people apply the same sentiment they have for those roadsters towards Miatas as well.

I live near a hipster central and I still don't get what smug-ironic is all about. driving an 80s Dodge Caravan today would have that retro asthetic they all like. But where does smugly ironic come in? Ten tears from now we'll look back on all of this and go WTF.
