I hate how these fuckers creep forward at red lights.

If they're first in line they're actually doing the right thing and making sure to trip the weight sensor.

MY FUCKING GRANDPA

>be me

Actually, fuck the greentext story. He was driving me and nana back home from a diner, and we came to a 4-way. He ignores the stop sign and blows RIGHT THROUGH the intersection while taking a LEFT TURN when there is ONCOMING TRAFFIC. We barely missed a fucking DODGE RAM, maybe by a foot or so. Old fucks' excuse? He saw a green light. AT A STOP SIGN.

Hardly his first offense, he makes one or five every time I drive with him, but that was his worst. I'm just jumping in the drivers seat next time, I don't care if he thinks I'm a "maniac" for going 9kph over the limit and take corners at more than 0.1g

He's looking to get a new car now. What is the most safe/nanny-tier you can buy? He won't buy Nip because MUH PEARL HARBOUR but he likes Korean cars for some inexplicable reason.

3 way tie for 1st: Power/handling/aftermarket
4. Reliability
5. Drivetrain
6. Aftermarket
7. Aesthetics
8. Fuel economy
9. Safety
10. Luxury
11. Heritage

This is assuming the vehicle is not a DD.

I own, built, and drive daily an 86 Camaro.
I had another one but it was totalled. So Ive tested every practical aspect and I think theyre great cars.
You can find them cheap (like 2-3 grand) and for that theyre usually running projects. But they require TONS of attention to maintain. Unless you strip it all down and restore it, or buy one someone else worked hard to build and sadly sell to you for 9-10k. Then obviously money isn't a thing to you and you take half the fun out of it anyway.
However, once you build it up to a point where it runs good and is up to snuff, they're easy to work on. One of the easiest cars to work on ever imo. GM parts and small block parts are in literally every part store.
They drive very fast, but in straight lines. Good drag cars. They hug the road very well but you have to be careful. Heavy car with rwd and all the weight in the front. It can fishtail like crazy. They're not as bad as everybody says in the rain and snow, unless you are an idiot. Some are slow but with a nice 350 or bigger, they fly. The sky is the limit with third gens.

Tl,dr they're fun and fast and worth all the work building them. Especially when you get to see the looks on ricers at the light.

well, raping Honda Civics up the tailpipe IS definitely what I'm going to do with it without a doubt. But can you explain in what aspects do they require the most attention? And what should I check for when buying pre owned?

>>14180638
Well at this point they're all pre-owned lol.
What you want to look for is one with a good body. The usual spots are in the wheel wells/strut towers, rockers and floor pans. You can throw a motor and trans in there worth more than the car.

They're nice money pits, with not a whole lot of return in investment. But that's lots of cars. They're fun like I said but I spent thousands of hours tearing these old cars up. As well as thousands of dollars. It's a trade off. If you have time to waste spinning wrenches it's worth it.

The only attention I would say is constant is preservation. Just keeping everything in check and running smooth. It's an old performance car so things break. As long as it's not a rot box go for it.
Depending what you find in what condition, you could get lucky and have a nice clean running car to slap some go-fast V8 parts on and vroom vroom.

100+ shekel oil changes for starters

Dank pdk memes

>>14179731
A fast car with reasonably predictable handling and the potential for repair bills that would cripple some states.

self bump

Is it a v8? I have an LT1 with LT headers and ORY and sounds berty gud, loud as shit though

>>14226796

Clutch between the two engines.

That's not optimal.

Where?

Lightweight battery, lightweight performance exhaust, lightweight wheels, spare tire delete, get rid of floor mats.

But that's not enough. Get some more power.

>>14221151
That miata is the fuck estate with why teeth. Jesus christ op you sure didn't what lmao fucking hair fresh car

>>14221190
What other stuff can I do
What are the lightest weight batteries
CF trunk worth it? Should I just remove the trunk top entirely ?
I've done a lot of that stuff,plus ripped our all the badging
I have stripped the interior, including dash
Basically a mess of wires lol
Removed the other seat too
Replaced my seat with lighter racing one
Removed all the shifter accessories , basically just a long stick
It's all bare metal with just my seat in it now

Should I weld my doors ? Buy CF doors and weld them on?
>more power
I can't find anything
I know a rotary specialist who has a fresh and clean tt FD engine but in not really sure
Plus that'd eat a lot of my budget

Driving is a privilidge not a right

How is what legal?

You lucky bastard. I was celebrating yesterday because regular is down to $2.35.

There is none, because different engines do different things. You'd respect a giant-ass ship engine for different things than an S2000's engine.

straight six natty
