yeah the 305 was raped by emission crap . A 4 barrel and magnasomething exhaust helped a little. Looked good though. Fire engine red.

One of the worst cars a GM factory ever shit out. quite an accomplishment. I'd drive a daewoo with a wrecked title before a fucking fiero.

I've also been looking for a VW Golf.

I want one just to do a road trip where you have to pray every mile that it wont break down.

E: problem with a Golf is that its not fast (there are a lot of fast one's but if you buy a second hand one thats been suped up its probably gonna explode after 2 miles). The Fiero, despite being ugly as shit but cool as hell is pretty fast. Downside is of course that it doesnt have a backseat.

'88 BMW 325i. Picked her up two days ago on impulse, will be my little project/toy for the next while.

Everything runs, but she needs new brakes and a lot of cosmetic work.

Historically they've been optimised for torque, there's only so much you can do to an engine and still have it work with a three-speed automatic box.
Plus they're low-tech, so very limited in their maximum revs.

That and emissions controls.

Honda for life. Low torque yes, but I can rev that shit to 9 grand all day and catch you in the top end.

engines were deballed in the 70's and 80's. low compression, very lean, restricted carburetion and very delicate and inefficient catalytic converters were the cheapest ways early on get american cars to meed emissions spsecs -without having to actually waste money on developing new technology. the japanese spent all the money developing modern car tech back then which is why they dominate today.

Let's see. Newest baddest mustang V-8 = 5 liter 412 HP.

2000 Honda S2000 4-banger = F20C 2 liter 240 HP

82 HP/liter or 120 HP/liter.

Honda is so far ahead of American motoring it's retarded =/ Now if only they could find a way to make a 4 liter 4 cyl....

Gotta let the new civics grow on you, I love the Ep3 (2004) Si Model, as well as the 2006 model. But Honestly, the 90's were honda's hayday. Tuning scene was huge back then. Now at our car meets I'm the only honda and my shit has yet to be fast. Gonna shoot for 400 WHP or bust... Hopefully my shit doesn't get jacked... Fucking thieves.

I just want them to come out with atleast one car that is tuner friendly. New civic's are cool n all with the K20, but it's no B16. They were smart though, built a massive base of tuners and fans of the company in the 90s, then as people grew up and had families they made their shit family friendly.

You're comparing different ratings (BHP vs SAE Net HP), plus 5-liter 412 HP isn't the "newest baddest" Mustang. I'd be happy with either car.
