All mustang suspension is laughably outdated.

The suspension has been the same since the late 70's for the most part, so yeah, a bit dated.

You have to remember, Mustangs have traditional been cheap powerful cars so using older technology was okay, especially when it was very stout. Ford kind of forgot the cheap part though and cranked up the price.


The big three used to have the power to hand us a car and say "here you go, buy it" and we had to due to little choice. So we got handed shit. Even today they give us old Euro models and replace the good suspension and interiors with crap because they think they can still get away with it. It took them 20 years, but they are now finding the market does not work that way anymore.

considerably. something to do with super cheif having more rep than the mods perhaps? :rolleyes:

That happens because admins rep power does not change. It is a fixed number, I could set it at 10k and anyone we negged would be banned instantly.

Oh and everyone's has been re-adjusted.

I don't usually tell exact requirements otherwise people try to manipulate the system.

The numbers have changed.

If the trans in that Volvo ever decided to go in a spectacular fashion, say goodbye to your legs...

Yikes, good catch.

Fieros are cool until they catch on fire.

That problem has long since been fixed.

I still question how many bends were removed and things. The number of bends are often more important than the tubing size.

this isnt exactly true because a guy with a kswapped civic dyno'd with a 2.5" exhaust then changed it out for a 3" the same day and dyno'd it and got some decent gains. it was something like 10-20 whp which isnt much but for an all motor car it is.

Simply put, no.

What else was changed. A motor twice that size barely needs that much pipe.

They have really grown on me a lot. On the other hand why is quad pipes needed on a car with only four cylinders?

4 pipes are needed just as much as a 3in exhaust on a little 4 banger. It's not.

Any damage to a mid 90's BMW or earlier unless it's an M series is pretty much going to the scrapper. They are just not worth enough usually. Which is a shame as they are such great cars.

Rep power is not limited, however if someone gets too high I readjust the manner in which it is calculated.

The boxes are your rep, and there is only so much room for them. You have the most boxes you can get.

yeah got bored, googled it

235MPG or 100km per liter nicee.. Also not sure about that weight.. My friends civic get blown the fuck around on a decently windy day thats with an average weight of 2,500lbs.
Even though this VW car is streamline and aerodynamic with the low weight of about 638lbs I dont think it would stand much chance. Especially with those thin ass tires... Still wouldnt drive it:)

My 2600 pound BMW barely budged in crosswinds, it's all about the shape.

He's alive!

I've been getting a lot of green rep lately, but no more boxes. I demand an answer!!!

Just kidding, I dont care.

There is a limit to the number of boxes.
