Mazda seems to emphasize handling especially vs Honda Nissan other Asian mfrs. Did so before their affiliation with FoMoCo too. My 2025 CX 50 surprises me, how much better it handled than expected. Drove CX 30 and CX 5 also while testing. The 5 seemed a bit cushier, the 30 just smaller 50. But all had nice steering feel and handling. The normal aspirated gas engine is plenty boosty for me after 27 yrs of driving a 4 cyl Tacoma, wheezing up steep mtn passes in 3d gear and challenging snails for 0-60mph runs.
440 cubes, Edelbrock aluminum heads, TKX 5 speed manual, pretty ridiculous cam, pistol grip shifter, 3.55 with sure grip, 850 brawler carb, but soon to get a 6 pack setup.
Me and my brother rebuilt a 71 challenger RT 440 4 barrel. Miss that car.
6 pack set up is a bitch to tune! Helped on one many years ago. Was a badass set up tho
Charger442, that black offset/trim, vs chrome, is wicked. My kind of car. Aside from the general wickedness of that Charger anyway!
You can imagine all the Tony jokes I'm hearing now that I own two Fiats.
I love the slow car fast ethos. Every time I drive an actual fast car it's just a huge disappointment when I can't realistically use more than 50% of it's performance for more than 10 seconds at a time. Give me a car I can flog all day long without jail time.
My brother used to have whatever Porsche is the modern 911, but Cabriolet with removeable hardtop, AWD, 6spd manual. Little screamer. I drove it on some twisty roads, him in passenger seat, he says, "go on, get after it!" and I tell him, "too much juice on tap for my many years of driving slow cars, I'm intimidated!"
that's what im hearing but i bought someone's left over setup they didn't even use. already has promax metering plates, i have the jets set how i want and the power valve. i just need to do it.
kinda want to tune out a mild hesitation in the 850 though, i think its an accelerator pump adjustment issue I'm going to work on. might need to look into a new jet size .
I just looked at the 911 wiki page -- it was either 997 or 991 model, from the looks of things.
Targas from my youth driving (1970s/80s) had that wide Targa roof bar, which my brother's car did not have. But still could be a Targa I guess, I'm not up on 21st Century or even late 20th C cars, to my great shame!
Not a Targa, but this was my 991 C2S. Among other things, the headlights were different on the 997.
I used to know these little front end/rear end differences to identify 55-57 Chevy BelAirs, 67-69 Chevy Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds, same with 60s Mustangs. When cars went square, sharp and "aero" or "fuel saving" in the mid 70s I lost interest. Even as a rabid Mustang fan, owner, driver I did not like the 1971 and later Mustangs. Had a few friends with very nice '71s, one full race, one comparable to my '69 but with much nicer exterior and interior, great multilayer black + clear paint job, Centerline wheels, barely streetable tire choices (skinny ass front, chunkers at the back, cornered like crap).
My brother could tell you all the little details though and he would mock me for not remembering what model his was.

Here some Retro. oldschool TV Magnum PI shit right here . This sitting a few blocks down the road from me today. So had to get a look.
excuse the shitty phone Pics. as I was stopping slow-roll, to snap couple Pic's, and trying my best not to get rear ended with traffic. That old 308 GTS actually looked real good shape for it's age also.

1984 GTSi
Has the American front spoiler ..he needs to switch to the European spoiler..about 2 inches lower and more pronounced. Looks do much better
That mirrored exhaust area is corny..it’s originally black louvred.
Wonderful car to drive

Just got the 96 Land Cruiser back from the shop. Had some minor repairs and mods needed to be done.
This one is a Black Special, only offered in 96. They offered black most of the model run, but this one has chrome accents throughout, making it a Black Special. The other thing unique to it that it has no factory roof rack, which is very uncommon for the US Spec Land Cruisers.
This one the previous owner put in a brand new OEM Short Block, and vapor honed all the other parts that were reused.
It has been de-flared, and I put 17" FJ Cruiser Steelies on it.
believe it or not, that's the original paint, although the hood and part of the roof have been repainted.

My favorite flavor of off roader is the kraut flavor but I dig the sushi flavor too
My cousin had two of them., they had 85MPH speedometers to comply with federal regulations.
After you paid your money you could have the original speedo installed for big money.
