I've been drifting mt GT86 for about 4 months and have gone to 4 drift events, and I've decided I really need a beater car to get better at this.
I have about 1500 bucks to throw around to get a missile car and weld the diff - what are some of the best options right now?
>pic related, saw an '80 NA 924 for sale with shit paint and dings but good internals, 52k miles- 800 bucks

A cheap 924 will be one of the most expensive drift cars you could buy.
Miata is always the answer - or a cheap BMW.

>>16933895
yeah i figured as much, aren't miattas harder to drift because of the short wheelbase or something? or is that just a meme?

Why are manufactures going to making smaller engines more efficient rather than making already liked-by-all engines more efficient and more powerful?
For example : The Ford Raptor went from a beefy V8 to a V6 making the V6 more fuel efficient and powerful. Good, but why didn't they try to make the V8 more powerful and fuel efficient?
>This seems to be the trend and it doesn't make any sense to me.
>What are your reasons or answers to this?
Also, you as a customer, do you like it?

Its easier to have a turbo engine and stay out of boost during the EPA test than do something intelligent like skyactiv.

ford is a shit. There you go. The correct answer. Enjoy your aluminum bed and v6 lol.

Discuss GT cars
GT cars must:
>Have 2 door body styles (usually a 2 door sedan or 2 door coupe)
>have a large, usable back seat
>have a large usable trunk
>be comfy on long journeys
>have a powerful engine
A performance suspension is preferred but now required.
What's you favorite GT car?
Pic is my second-favorite

Rear engine layout is the most superior performance layout ever.
So why don't other companies other than Porsche do it?
Are they all fucking stupid as their buyers.

They do? They didn't mention that, they apparently import it, most likely they import them illegally, they then get a state title, and insurance from wherever. What I'm worried about is some cop knocking at my door and telling me my car is going to become scrap, but holy shit I want one so bad my penis is going to explode

Like title says. Getting one or the other and I can't decide whether two door is too small for my family or if the four door looks weird and I'll regret it.
Can y'all give your 2 pennies on whether you'd get wrangler or unlimited? Tell me about your pros/cons for each I would really appreciate a lot of different perspectives.

I'd go for the Unlimited personally.
Mainly because Mopar sells a JK-8 kit specifically for the Unlimited model that turns it into a pickup truck.

Four-door looks weird and is for women.

You are given a budget of $300,000 to buy a car to drive coast-to-coast. For leisure, not a race.
What do you drive?
Where do you start?
Where do you end up?
Do you bring a passenger?

American here. I start in Charleston SC, work my way up through upstate SC And through Tennessee, then haul ass across the midwest before finishing in Portland OR.

I think I'd just invest in hookers along the way.

Hi, /o/.
How much would it cost to convert a 66 mustang coupe into a fastback with either 69 Boss or "Eleanor" body?
I'm also concerned about VIN, as conversion would cause at least several of those being gone if not all and if I were to buy an entire body - what about VIN's then?
Finally - I can do a lot of man work, especially metal related myself, but prepping the body for paint and painting it is out of my reach, so if someone is actually experienced or knowledgeable, please consider that in the estimated price.
P.S.
I do not reside in the U.S. which might make some of parts/body kits dealers unavailable to me.

I hate that Eleanor refers to the shit Nic Cage remake car. Eleanor is and will alwats be a 1971 Sportsroof.
>>
>>16938220
I fully understand the frustration and while I do not visit /o/, I expected "Eleanor" from the remake movie to be hated.
However, a fastback is a fastback and I like them all - which is why I'd like to convert a coupe into one, as I do not posses the means to acquire an actual fastback in the country I reside in.
Additionally, I am not a purist, so I don't care about a lot of originality (though I admire and respect it) - I simply love the look of a fastback.

Is a 4 wheel drive truck necessary to handle logging roads? Does a sedan have enough power and ground clearance to go up the mountains? Would a sedan's weak thin tires pop when it hits sharp objects?
I wanted to drive up into the wilderness specifically to hunting locations but all the good spots are deep in rough logging roads. I only got a sedan.

You could be fine for most of the travel but then come across an obstacle. Wash out, rock that's slightly too tall, whatever. Really depends on the specific road + road material.. gravel, mud, clay
