Is there any point in DDing a RWD sports car if you live in part of the world where 4 months out of the year there's snow?

Where do you draw the line between musclecar and sportscar?

A powerful engine doesn't necessarily mean musclecar and the ability to handle doesn't doesn't necessarily mean sportscar does it?

What's the difference? What characteristics are exclusive to each? Does a musclecar have to be American? Does it have to have a V8 and RWD?

Can a sportscar be turned into a musclecar and vice-versa?

Histoircally, a muscle car was usually defined as the small car with the big car's engine stuffed in it. GTO, Chevelle SS, GSX, 'Cuda, etc.

A sports car is, from wikipedia, "a small, usually two seater, two doorautomobiledesigned for spirited performance and nimble handling." Miata, S-chassis, S2000, Z4, etc.

So, basically a muscle car is typically designed for straight line performance and a sports car is typically for >muh feels. That doesn't mean a muscle car can't handle and nor does it mean a sports car can't be fast. That's just usually how it goes.

No, just like all other British cars they're bold looks and nice interiors coupled with insane unreliability and electrical problems plus unbelievable depreciation.

If you can't successfully mass produce an internationally available automobile your country is irrelevant.

It is my car... check out the insurance...

I reach for my revolver in the glove box. Already loaded, I raise it towards his smug face and blow a big hole between his eyes. I rush over to his car to obtain his wallet, license, keys, etc. Using my combat knife I flay his face to create a mask. Using his face as a mask I head for his house. His wife greets me at the door, but asks "Honey, what's wrong?" Nothing, I tell her. I immediately rush upstairs with her to give her hours upon hours of lovemaking. Once over, exhausted, I roll out of bed to piss in his toilet. "Honey, whose car is out front?" Shit. My one mistake. I tell her it's my car, sold the old one. "That can't be your car. Must be your mama's car." I freeze. My piss freezes. Slowly I crane my neck towards the bedroom. There he is. Back. Still alive. In his wife's lingerie and a blonde wig. I start to stumble through questions before I am interrupted. Slowly but with smug salivation he slurps out: Ehhhhhehehe.... the game.

How often do you guys get offers for your car?

I get people I know and random strangers asking me about selling my car to them about every 2 to 3 months.

The worst is the random folks... Just driving up or walking down the street when I'm getting out of my car..."hey! Want to sell me your car?"

Yesterday a guy walks into the middle of the street and asks me that!

I have a 1990 civic ef hatch stock.

yeah, apparently some local had his '66 convertible listed for $5k, original everything. one day he takes off the for sale sign to clean the windows, dude comes up to him and offers $15k.

my parents have a fully restored '67 coupe in their garage, mint condition. they're probably pretty happy with their life choices right about now.

I just installed o/r x pipes in my Stang it sounds great at WOT but it sucks for everything else.

It sounds like it has low hissing coming from the bottom of the dash. Is this normal? I have to be extremely gentle on the gas or I'll hear and it sounds like a loud low hissing sound and like a metallic gurgle tin swoosh sound. I tightened those bolts on the exhaust flange gasket with a massive breaker bar - there is no way they are loose, leaking or anything.

Will getting high flow cats get rid of this? I like the way it sounds from the back but sound inside the cabin is just dreadful. It's definitely coming from the headers. Here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8WDW2dwBRI

I'm in 5th gear so you can hear it. It's harder to hear so you might need headphones. You can hear it good around 11-16 seconds. It's the metallic tin gurgle sound. I'm putting the phone right around my shifter as the sound comes from the center low dash.


I'm at like 1500rpms @ 5th gear mashing down the gas so the tach isn't even climbing. What is it?

professional auto tech here....

that sounds like a classic exhaust leak. a breaker bar? good lord how tight did you zip those down? you may have just cranked em too much, basically making the gasket fail. there's torque specs for a reason. overtightening tends to fuck up gaskets, doesnt matter if its even the metal kinds that go on exhaust headers.

do you have a hole in your pipes somewhere?

any chance you can do a smoke test on it and see if its leaking?

I am in the market for a new car. I need cargo space and be able to drive 2-3 people.

I am thinking about getting hothatch like a Mini or a VW Golf GTi.

I like the styling of the Mini Coopers but I hear they have a lot of issues. The Golf GTi is FWD and looks boring as fuck. Any recommendations?
