There has always been a weird parallel between classic US and AUS cars.

How about lost cars?

Cars that came in an era that all they did was crush them.

In Aus that would be nothing but a farm tool.

If it had a jarrah floorboard tray and some other things to make.it special maybe.

Interesting/cool/impressive.
Not classic though.

>>722415312
Meh, after 72 they started adding bullshit environmental stuff like injecting extra air into the exhaust, and '73 oil crisis pretty much signalled the end of the muscle car. Nothing after 1976 is quite as good. Most would argue 69 was thee best year.

Back then a teenager could work minimum wage for a summer or two and buy a brand new, fucking car. the Dodge Superbee was aimed directly at that market.

But then, of course the conservatives decided they were done sharing wealth and the baby boomers morphed into the yuppies in the 80's and Reagan took out than big ol' republican dick and friction-fucked the middle and lower income brackets for 8 years. Meanwhile the right-wing propaganda machines kicked into high gear, and low-income bible-belt fuckheads voted against their own interests pushing politics further and further to the right, and now there is no left-wing party anymore, and here we are with a tyrannnical psychopath in the whitehouse.

Good job, America! Keep fucking that chicken!

At that time America was afraid of new things.

>>722417171
The 1968 through 1973 mustangs and cougars share the same accessories.

Rare on both cars were the power window option and they shared the electronics and switches.

The cougars are a rarer car because they were less desirable. So often the Cougars were crushed and the mustangs saved.

But during that era (1971-1973) the mustangs were considered large and bulky compared to previous years.

That coupled with the inferior metallurgy of cars from 1970 through 1989 made these cars go to the scrap heap and crushed.

However, some of the early models were equipped with 428 cobra jets and were a stout track car.

1968 Ford Cortina GT. The first pic was a Lotus Cortina.

The Lotus ran a 1500cc engine with a Lotus head. High tech back then it was a dual overhead cam motor.

The 1968 GT ran a 1600cc

Cornering properly is very vague.
Sure thing your fagmobile will.corner faster than most classic cars on a dead flat purpose built track.

But if that's the only place you drive your fagmobile then you should kill yourself.

Please don't respond anymore u less you can post a timestamped pic to prove you even own that car.

I feel.it would look better without the nostrils though.

How the fuck can this thread die off suddenly when there is cou.other cancer threads going on.

Ram air intake.
For getting more cold air into the motor.
The faster you go, the more cold air is forced into the motor.

Mustangs and other cars from that era had them.

Catalytic converters are the worse of it.
In the beginning it was just redirecting some exhaust into the intake manifold.
(A prime example of the rule makers not understanding the thing they are making rules for).
That catalytic though.
11%+ power goes to running that shit.

I'm all for environmental control, but i want an accurate graph representation of exactly how much emissions the catalytic converter removes.

Then I want a graph comparing it to how much extra fuel it cost to achieve that.

I'm sure these exist somewhere.
I'm way too.dru k to research.
If any anon has this info I would greatly appreciate it.

>>722419029
Owns a 250gto? haha get fucked cunt, they sell for 20odd million htf would a /b/ fag own a gto.
As for the sound - listen to one and they raced on street circuits as often as purpose built tracks, that's what racing used to be.

>>722420370
There's a reason that didn't last.
Scoops in the bonnet do very little as far as airflow, cooling goes.

There is a reason scoops were eventually put around the carbs themselves and raised above the bonnet.
> bonnet=hood for americans

>>722420592
How did that gasket let air in from the hood vents?

Was there a duct system on the bottom of the hood that led to that?
