Yes plz? :lol:



drive up with this somewhere and people would be like holy shit there's a fucking scoop on the top of your car :lol: for some reason it stands out a lot more than the ones on other cars like the veyron

as for cheap performance cars I'd probably get an M Coupe. I've always liked those as well as Lotus Esprits. The M1 is cool too but :lol: megabucks also USA lol.

I owned one of these and regret selling it. I have been on the hunt for another one but finding a clean one affordable has been rather tough.

A buddy of mine that I knew in college had a '79 anniversary T/A, with the disco dash, eagle, the works. It had maybe 60k miles on it. Dude was a stoner, and traded it for a pound of weed after he lost his license for (you guessed it) driving around with a bunch of weed.

No shit. Broke my fuckin' heart. :(

one of my good friend had a bad-assed 72 TA with a 455 in it.

he crashed into my other buddys parents bar.... while sober (he was the worlds worst driver)

Funnily enough he became a helicopter pilot in the Army :lol:

:cool:

Not the cheapest "affordable" dream car, but an Ariel Atom 300 is a metric asston of serious business for the dollar. Granted you have to give up on some conveniences, but that's half the fun. Keep your daily beater, and conciser it a motorcycle that's not going to activate your life insurance when you hit a transient condition when driving at 8- or 9/10ths. :agreed:

^ In England, those are reasonably priced relative to other offerings.

In the US, they're like $80k. :(

God, I want one.

Mine was a Super Duty 455 with a 4 speed and 390 gear. I sold it just after getting married to buy a house back in `82:noway:

My old car is actually for sale out in Mokena Illinois right now, but the owner wants $85K for it. Talk about appreciation...I sold for $4500 back in `82:rant:

Awww, man. Those things were just awesome. That was my first dream car as a kid, and I had pictures of the Smokey and the Bandit car all over my walls. :(

I cannot think of another car that underrated the horsepower numbers so drastically in the sales literature. I remember seeing a bit on it on Modern Marvels, where one owner said, "290hp? Maybe at 1000rpm." :lol:
