I love maggies for LS V8 street cars because they move 450+pounds of torque to 1500 rpm

Quick rundown.
>roots/eaton/twinscrew
Originally designed to make 2 cycle diesels function, NOT to produce power. They were used typically in conjunction with a turbo.
Then a hotrodder in the 50's realized they could take one for a 6 cylinder diesel (because a fuck huge diesel v6 is abut the length of a passenger vehicle v8) and do forced induction if they grafted it onto a standard intake manifold.
Note: the 6 in "6-71 blower" is for 6 cylinders, an 8-71 is for a v8 diesel.

Paxtron was the premier centrifugal supercharger.
Their original ball-drive unit went through many, many different upgrades. Paxton was bought by granatelli and the last rendention of the ball-drives is the GSS (granatelli signature series).
A designer for Paxton came up with the a nice gear-drive unit that was able to produce more power and was more reliable. Paxton thought that customers would not like the whiney gear noise so they shelves if. The designer and a salesman left Paxton and started vortech with the design (thus vortechs use the same Paxton mounting brackets and support pieces).
A designer at vortech wanted more money so he took the knowledge he gained while there and started powerdyne.
Another designer at paxton came up with a belt drive unit, but Paxton declined on using it for fear of failure rates (it was codenamed "black belt" while in-house).
That designer took his design and left Paxton and started procharger.

The 03-04 cobra will probably hold its value the best, but feel kind of dated in terms of interior/luxury. However, if all you care about is how it drives, then it's probably the way to go.

The EWB Phantom looks ugly if you're in highschool but if you're not a poorfag and want to look better than everyone else when your chauffeur opens the door for you, there's literally no other better car.

Bentley Mulsanne=Poor Man's RR Phantom
Maybach=Ghetto Rich Man's S-Class
Escalade=Fancy Overpriced GMC
Stretched Limo of any kind=yesterday's prom night rental.

If you want to drive yourself and look baller in Rolls Royce, opt for the Dawn or Black Badge Wraith.

RRs are literally basketball american cars.

Feels fucking bad.

That looks so out of proportion. The interior looks like it shouldn't fit inside such a narrow car. Unless the seats and the man inside the car are really tiny.

They died so many times, they're the cats of the car world.
Opel will find a way.

Honestly not too bad. Right tires, weight in rear and easy on throttle. Keep a shovel jic and chains or similar. Of course, dealing with deeper snow can be an issue. DD mustang in NE for a while. Was stuck home when it accumulated to my bumper. Got 4x4 now

Easy if you get winter tires. If you have 4.10 gears and a race clutch, well, no, and youre retarded for dailying such a vehicle

>>17320587
Pre-emptive damage control

>dude just get a 3k civic as a winter beater

My job requires me to move around constantly and I'm single, so it's too inconveniant to consider. I can only have 1 car.
