I think I have a mad idea.

Get an old 90s corolla, gut it, then drop a Chevy LTG+stronger tranny in it and run it as a sleeper and own numales in their v6 mustangs.

The engine *can* fit, but the question is, should it?

Why use some shitty GM powertrain at all when Toyota's got their own slew of capable transverse engines? 3sgte should drop right in, or maybe a newer 2gr V6.

Does /o/ go to car shows?

I really do appreciate that there are a whole bunch of dedicated guys out there who meticulously and lovingly maintain old cars. It's something i'd love to do one day(when i have the money of course. No surprise that these places are always full of boomers)

Other than muscle car shows,i always enjoy the excitement of large industry auto shows that feature everything from the latest in car desing, the next great market failure and sexy concept cars.

I rarely bother with static events any more now that you can find tons of events with amateur autoX, drifting, and track days where you can actually drive your car and have fun rather than hard park and sit in a lawn chair.

Where do you draw the line between a performance car that's track-worthy and a car that just has a lot of power?

With BMW's cars, for example, the M3 is lighter than the M5, but both are performance vehicles that could do fine on a track. But then you've got V12 7 series models that it would seem silly to ever track even though they've got lots of power.

It seems impossible to define the cutoff based on a body type, or door count, or drivetrain layout either, so it seems like there's just an arbitrary size cutoff where the vehicle no longer makes sense as a track car.

I don't like the boxer sound. It's the reason why I probably wouldn't buy a Porsche even if I had the money. I love every aspect about them except for the sound.

This. People can tailgate me with their brights on all they want, can't see shit through my 20% tinted rearview.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong /o/.

I've been looking for a 2nd fun vehicle for about 8 months now, seriously for the past 4. I can not figure out why it's so hard to get a response or answers to basic questions. How the fuck do you go about buying Joe Bob Buttfucks Car?

Let's say I find a seller who lists a vehicle and either has a number that explicitly says to text or email. I usually ask if the vehicle has any outstanding maintenance issues that need to be addressed, leaks, smoking, gear grinding, if it has any rust, and does it run well enough to drive to where I live or will I need at trailer. Sometimes I ask for the VIN just to get the ball rolling if the vehicle looks promising.

9/10 I don't get a response to text or emails. Other times I'll get a response but the seller will half answer questions and won't respond for upwards of a day. I can understand a delay in answering emails, but holy shit why with texts. I told one guy I'm very interested, would like to come see it on what was yesterday (Saturday) but that I'd like to run the VIN before. He just dropped all communication.

What's the strategy. Is this just how it is dealing with people on there? What can I do to increase chances of atleast an initial response?

Dunno what to say lad except only look for newly listed stuff on craigslist.

>>15758439
That's def something I try to do. I'm honestly just curious at this point if someone could provide some incite.

I've been looking for fox body mustangs, so that can give you an idea of the kind of people I'm dealing with. It's just fuck, I'm trying to give someone several thousand dollars for something they put up for sale. I'm starting to think these people are insane.

Hey I saw your ad on cl and had a few questions,

1) the obligatory is it still available?
2) I saw in your ad you said needs TLC, what if anything do you mean? Leaks or just noises?
3)If possible I'd like to run a Vin check just to see what pervious owners have had done.
4) what general maintenance have you had done?
5) when could I come take a look at it.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to this.
