New England B.S. Thread

Always had a place in my heart for a 90's 5.0 with the trunk. Done right they were always the perfect sleeper. But I would still rather have an 04 IS 300 Lexus.....But shhhh....don't tell

 

My '79 was the opposite but I liked the trunk because it wasn't common. Always dreamed of buying another one from that gen and doing something with it

 

Yeah growing up a friend of mine went from a Mustang GT to T/A with a 5.7 TPI and then back to a Mustang LX. The Mustangs were a more raw or basic car and the T/A was like a hella fast grand tour car. He went back to the Mustang because he wanted to drag race the car.

 

I had a 1984 Camaro after high school, that thing would eat Mustangs for a snack.

 

But it was an auto because Mr. Cool guy can't drive stick

 

It was because I never learned. Had the 305 4 barrel, last year before they went TPI. Not sure how but it was hopped up and was a DEA undercover car

 

Oh OK I was gonna say "ate Mustangs?". Makes more sense now

 

Cammed?

 

I would guess that but no real clue, It was like that before I got it and I bought at a govt sale

 

I'm actually starting to casually look for something to replace the STi. It would have to be the absolute perfect version, but I'm starting to look at the 90-96 Nissan 300ZX TT T-Top. From some cursory reading, it seems like the earlier ones are a better car than the later ones, but I still have to figure that out. I like the idea of a dedicated sports/GT car with a removable roof. As crazy as this sounds, I'm over having a silly fast car. That's not to say I want something slow, but 0-60 times just don't mean as much as they used to for me.

I found a bone stock black on black one last spring that I should have jumped on, but can't cry over missed opportunities. The hardest thing will be finding one that is completely rust free and stock. I'm hoping someone purchased one new and treated it as a weekend cruiser in good weather only.

That being said, the STi wouldn't even go on the market until I had a replacement parked next to it, and the thought of selling that car terrifies me because of the delightful people I will most likely encounter if/when I list it.

 

Nice. I had a 81 datsun 280ZX as a kid. Rustbucket and a half but loved it. Always wanted an 80's 300 for that reason

 

Best video ever (if I do say so myself)!

This was last May with our club NTC

He's a fucking animal! no fear!

 

Newer cars are fine. The go like hell, stop and are pretty reliable compared to the old crap. Always wanted to take a newer mustang for a spin.
But... being an old fart set in my ways, nothing like driving a primitive relic that doesn't handle, stops like crap, and you constantly have to tweek.
To me at least, pulling up to a light with an old dinosaur with a lumpy cam that shakes the whole car, headers and a big mofo 4 barrel is da shitz. IMHO,lol.

 

Same. If I'm going to have something I only drive in the summer, it's going to be an old lump of Detroit.

 

I learned to drive in a 69 Olds Delta with a 455 4bbl on it. LOL. What a boat. Cornering???? LOL.... But flip the top of the breather and jam it and it sounded sooo cool. MOOOOOoooooooo My buddy used to call it the Cow.

 

Now no laughing but this is probably my next toy. A summer toy. Call it a Harley for a guy that can't ride a bike anymore.....

 

Those're fun. They corner like they're on rails and they've got great power if you go for the BMW-built 6 cylinder option.

Torque steer for days, though.

 

They are fun. My sister had one for a while.
She is also original owner of a Z-3. I like driving that car.

 

Just had to toss that one in there, eh?
