I hated moving back into a car, had that go-cart feeling plus I like to see over everyone. The more practical financial decision for me would be to simply sell my car and buy a Tacoma w/a V-8 of course. I've priced out muscle cars already, and I now wish I had kept that 73' Mopar b/c they're worth a small fortune now...even if not running. I owned a Dodge Dakota(V
before the Tundra, and promptly dumped it at 35K miles after taking a test drive in the Toyota.
Gawd, when those V10s and V12s really got into it on a road course, they sounded like gangsta rap for whales. Raw.my first car sun was a 67 camaro, 327 4 speed that i loved to death.. i rue the day i sold her..
but as to why kids today prefer honda's and other rice burners over old school muscle, the answer is obvious to me.. price.. i for one can hardly afford an old muscle car.. ffs, to replace my old car would run me more like $20k and you can pick up a rice burner and do some serious mods to it for well under 20k ime..
nothing still beats the sound of a v8, but i still miss the 20,000 plus redline on the big v12 formula engines.. if that sound doesn't go straight to ones soul, idk what to say to you..
~snipped. Danged one-video rule ... ~
don't forget to turn the sound all the way up either..
in my opinion the americans are decades behind in terms of the engines they produce when compared to those japs! holy shit do they make some nice ones. all of them man. from nissan to toyota and don't get me started on my 9000rpm honda vtec machines. my buddy has a dakota and has a terrible exhaust leak. he's afraid to drive ten minutes away from his house for munchies when he's on a quarter tank and it's only like a v6.I hated moving back into a car, had that go-cart feeling plus I like to see over everyone.

Peace
probably because you never had a '70 monte?
You mean like my 89 bronco sittin on 34s?? Bout 100 bucks a week in gas but so worth it. Love that truck.
The Americans make good engines also. My sources tell me a modded LS1 is the preferred engine for Japanese-body drift cars now ... very low weight for all that displacement. cn
On second thought, you were right...most owners of these cars are attention whores.

I have a high school up the street, and am long past tired of hearing their vehicles.
So now I simply toss handfuls of roofing nails in the road.
Eventually they will figure it out and drive somewhere else.
Goodness know I can use some. Mine keep tearing into the quick. Owie. cn
Man that 3-wheeler in your avatar is badass. Is that yours? I had a 350x 3-wheeler. You know the one with the white tank, it's a 4-stroke. That thing was so much fun and it had some serious torque. I would throw some paddle tires on it and take it out to the dunes and shred! But dude the 250's would always blow the doors off me off the start. The power bad on a 250 kicks in at like the middle of the second gear. The 350's powerband kicks in at towards the midddle of 3rd.
