SWEET!!!!!! Ive always been a huge vw van fan. I have had a few. There's a guy down the street from me that has a split window with a Subaru motor in it. He said it was expensive but totally worth it. His a/c blows ice cold and it gets great gas mileage. There's a company called kennedy engineering that makes the swap kit.

Play the video here for the other half. The Nismo 370Z will be bad!!!!!

Nismo 370Z

I second the notion that sleeper cars rule. Tweeked an old 300ZX TT (1996 model year - 3rd generation body?) up to around 400hp but you'd never know by looking at it or the noise it made. Except for the little blowby hiss when you let up the throttle.

I'd love to work on another one or maybe the '97 supra TT

I will give Ford and maybe the other american manufacturers some credit for closing the quality gap, but the designs are still outdated and inefficient. Viper excluded of course (great style, poor quality and practicality).

They should hire someone from Lotus to design their cars. I mean, jeeze, why can't we design stuff like THIS

And don't most engineers (foreign and domestic) all go to the same engineering schools? Why can the foreign engineers outperform domestic engineers when working out these cars?

My old Chevette had an engine with the front half standard bolt fittings and the back 1/2 was metric... Wha?

They must have "contracted out" the back 1/2 to Europe.

I had a ford ranger that was a 4 cylinder with 8 spark plugs.
Ends up it was the Pinto engine and the only way to get it to pass CA emissions was to add another spark plug. Sure was a tight fit under the hood and almost IMPOSSIBLE to change out all the plugs..

Okay, so does this do it?

I want that one... and that one.... and that one...

Sweet cars. I drove one of the old MG's with right hand drive. Was a bitch passing cars. Hard to see around.

Doug

yes, thank you.

WOW!!!! Sweet

But who the heck puts a nfl sticker on a classic car?

Current rides, 1997 Mountaineer for pulling boats, and regatta sleeper, 2006 Honda Accord, family car, 1992 Corvette for fun.
And locally, car shows most weekends http://www.triplexrootbeer.com/

A big ole Ford E350 diesel van for pulling the toys. And the '93 300zx TT for in between regattas. It's stock on the outside, and plenty of mods under the hood.

Really?

It's a back up for the paper thin bumper.

Whoknows why a GT40 is called a "40"?

The original was 40 inches high.

Mary,

I love the old "T" series MG's as well. Great cars as long as you don't want to stop quick.
An OLD British sports car joke.... Why don't the Brits make computers?...because they couldn't figure out a way to make them leak oil! At least that was true for my Dad's '53 MG TD.

"I will give Ford and maybe the other american manufacturers some credit for closing the quality gap, but the designs are still outdated and inefficient."

I will have to agree and disagree. Take a Zo6 vette and a shelby gt500. Both motors have 500+ HP and seemed to have been touched by the hand of god. These motors can handle huge amounts of power and still get very good gas mileage. Did u know if u port the blower on one of the new gt500's you can gain over 100rwhp. I recently saw a bone stock vette motor that had two large frame turbos strapped on it and made 690rwhp and has lasted for 20K miles and still running strong.

The american performance cars have come a long way in a short time and are making great power while maintaining decent MPG when cruising around. I recently drove a Z06 that had 500+ hp and still got 26-28mpg on the highway. That is the best of both worlds.

The interiors on the other hand.....still plain and somewhat boring....But when your smashing on the "Loud pedal" who is thinking about the interior?

SWEET Z32 MikeKrantz!!! Thats a really clean Z. I will have another Z32 one day.

Yup.

Anyone notice the concept Corvette in the new Transformers movie? SLICK

I agree!!! Hope this will save GM.

I'll be buying import until Ford decides to bring the Mondeo over. If Ford had the diesel Mondeo Wagon TDCi here in the US I'd be an owner.
