I haven't watched any of them since they departed Top Gear.
I imagine Hammond's rapidly aged appearance is due in some part to the bad wrecks he was in.

Indeed.

If you even up the pipe lengths, they begin to sound like a typical four cylinder.

It's fair if you feel the Dark Horse is overpriced, but the MSRP spread that you are shopping is extreme. So justifying a car's existence on your list of contenders just because it is cheap doesn't really make sense when you are also looking at cars that cost $100,000 more. It makes even less sense...

I find the Mach 1 intriguing, but I think I would go for the GT350. :notsure: about the GT350 engine in terms of holding together. I haven't really looked into it beyond oil consumption issues, but even the LS engines have oil consumption issues. If that's all that it is, just check the oil level a...

I find the Mach 1 intriguing, but I think I would go for the GT350. I like the Mach 1 more than the 1LE, but it was nearly $10k more than the Bromaro, so I went the :scrooge: route. I haven't looked at pricing on anything lately because I am not in the market for a vehicle, but a $10k difference is...

The LF4 has been around since 2016. It's the same engine that was in the ATS-V. I would hardly call it unproven. As for the drag race, it is a difference of .3 seconds. But if a losing in a drag race on a YouTube video is a part of your criteria, then it looks like you can eliminate the Lotus from ...

The Blackwing looks a hell of a lot better than the M3, and the twin turbo V6 is a pretty neat engine. The Dark Horse replaced the Mach 1 as Ford's track-focused Mustang. TT from GM which is completely unproven or the gold standard I6… eh. Looks are subjective Cadillac is by no means bad looking bu...

What about the Mustang Dark Horse and CT4-V Blackwing? Is the CT4-V better the m3 in any measurable way ? Don’t really think of the mustang as a “sports car” maybe more on the muscle car side.

They are hot cars.

The AFM can be turned off in the tune, which helps keep the lifters alive. I had it turned off on my 2008 Silverado and had no lifter issues through 125k when I traded it in on the GTI.

That’s a sexy look! That orange plays nicely! 10 out of 10 would fuck! I was always obsessed with painted valve covers growing up. Idk what it is about them, but it just pops to me compared to chrome! As always with a classic, you have to tinker to find the right setup, but that’s part of the fun r...

Once the welding was finished, it was time to drill the covers for the Chevrolet script emblems I purchased. These are actually dash emblems for the 53-54 cars, which I selected because I like that the script is different from the typical Chevy script, and my grandfather had a '54 way back when. I m...

My dad decided that he wanted to change things up a little in the engine bay. He asked if there were any different valve covers that we could get as he wasn't too keen on the fuel rail covers anymore. I told him that there are valve covers that come with a faux cover for the coil packs, and showed h...

Jaws is my favorite movie of all time. Last summer, I went to the Mahoning drive-in to watch it and got Carl Gottlieb to sign my poster. That's badass! I really enjoyed the 3D re-release.

How about the AP2? Either way IMO it's somewhat splitting hairs... They are very similar in performance right? Wind out or not. If the BRZ had 260-300hp I don't think it would get that much heat and it is certainly not "too much" power. This is claimed to be a stock AP2 pull: https://cimg...

I think the point of "underpowered" is more of a function that a 2.4 N/A engine with roughly 228hp isn't exactly fast. This thing has LESS power as a 24 year old Honda S2000 which stood at 240... technology has moved on and this particular car has remained pretty low HP compared to any ot...
