wow you sound like a faggot
take it to an upholstery shop like everyone else

>>15691182
I'm sure you take your car to the shop to get an oil change
Also take your wife to Tyrone for servicing too

Are you retarded or just from yuropooria?
Weight isn't the only factor you consider...
Guessing Yuropoor
>>
>>15688475
weight is the most significant factor. you can't retain grip if you have so much momentum going into a corner that the lateral gs of shifting your driving wheels are greater than the friction coefficients of the tarmac.

Why do normies not use turn signals?
On the highway, especially. Somebody will just coast into my lane without warning if theres any space in front of me.

Try being on a motorcycle. In my car I get pissed, on my bike I'm pretty sure I'm going to die.

About to drop 30k on a new vehicle. I don't want any US domestics. Any reason why I shouldn't pick up a twin turbo 370z?

Can you afford a new engine?
>>
>>15695098
Yes, the car in mind is moderately tuned with the necessary supporting mods.
>>
any aftermarket turbo setup is going to have more problems then an average car, that being said you can push 500 whp pretty reliably with a decent clutch so if you're prepared for any issues that may arise it's a pretty decent investment
General thread for Lincoln Town cars, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Ford Crown Victorias/P71
Recently picked up a 2010 p71 looking for some input on making the 4.6 have a little more balls. Would love to get it to about 300/325 hp and 350 fpt

there is no reason to own a v8
you really only need a 4cyl

>>15693115
No one grows up wanting a Honda.

>>15693115
Op here, already own it. Nothing out of what I driven is as fun as a V8 rwd. That's just a good time.
>15k budget
>has to be A/T
Which Honda Civic is best Honda Civic for my budget?
Not really looking for the slowest one out of the bunch but a model that has "decent" power to make it up and around all the steep hills and mountain roads i drive on everyday.
Also what features are worth the money?
Im mostly just looking for working A/C and Bluetooth.
I have 2 projects already so i dont give a shit about getting a Manual or anything stupid fast.

dakota rt had a 5.9.
The 2nd gen 4.7 with 545 wasn't bad either. You can't get much more than 300hp out of the 4.7 without forced induction though.
