clam ache posted:I feel your pain. I grew up with a neighbor who had an LT1 in a fiero. It was so cool to 13 year old me. He let me cruise with him a few times. That car is AMAZEBALLS with that much power. A vega with a v8 is also the appropriate way to run those cars. There is also some vega hatchbacks in the train photo. Of which non survived rust and cash for clunkers. That is my holy grail of car's. Ive seen two in my life. The first one was rusted in half at the fenders and broken over a tower of cars. And the other one is stuck behind some dudes garage slowly rusting in piece. Please don't use the word AMAZEBALLS ever again. Thank you, The entire world

At least when it breaks and whips you in the nuts you'll forget how painful it was to lose your foot .005 seconds earlier.

Wasabi the J posted:There was a Vega out in Vegas thar was on sale and extremely clean last year. I didn't get it because my wife said no because she hates fun and doesn't understand I'm having fun when I'm thrashing around under the hood of my cars. Should have bought so you could post about it in the Horrible Mechanical Failures thread and we could all laugh at you.

Is that Buttonwillow? I haven't been there in 12 years Anyways I saw this Pontiac parked. Anybody know what year / model it is? Sorry I didn't get better pics, it's night and a dog was pulling my arm.   The fender marker didn't really come out... It said 8 in the middle though.

Yes, 1:35ish around CW13. Last time I was there was superlap battle 2010 I think, we won our class and set a new track record of 1:48.5 with a Subaru on treaded r-comps.

I've only done HPDE kinda stuff in a '92 Mazda Protege and once in my Mazda 3, so I'll just have to guess that 1:35 is a good time for that configuration

Here's the fastest lap in that config by a time attack car and probably any actual production car with a vin number https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iao3USeZFUQ Please excuse Billy's terrible editing/music.

xzzy posted:It might be relevant for tax breaks. Like around 2013 they shifted the tax credit from "buying a hybrid" (ie, a prius) to "buying an electric vehicle" (some/all of the power sent to the tires comes from an electric motor). It's a Plug-in Hybrid EV. A Tesla or Bolt is a Battery EV. A Mirai is a Fuel Cell EV.

Another reason FWD cars suck, igniting the fuel tank and back axle under proper acceleration is frowned upon.
