If at 60mph the engine is turning 3,000 rpm, wouldn't 70mph be at 3,500 rather than 3,250?

By extension could you rig up a smaller configuration to run your small backup generator in the garage? That would be a boon to folks in the southeast during hurricane season. But I don't know, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

When the facelift year rolls around, hopefully they will remove some of the "Stingray/stinger" style cues that clutter up the cars basic design. I'm not a fan of the instrument cluster either, digital speedometer....really?

I don't think you intended this sentence. I think you meant CO2 Blasting is probably not the best. "And if your project requires removing paint, for example, media blasting is probably the best choice. Oh, and by the way, how much CO2 is released during the cleaning of one car?

The story I heard was the throttle stuck open, and off he went over the cliff. I had something very similar happen to me when I was in San Francisco area. I was being given a test ride in a 1964 corvette in 1974. The owner was driving us up a very twisty Corte Madera Ave and stopped. He wanted to show me that the engine was real tight and didn't burn any oil. He told me to look out the rear did a rolling start in first gear and then floored it. Everything was fine until we went past redline because the linkage stuck. We luckily went off the side of the road going up the cliff and not the other side. We ended up on the roof in the middle of the road. The car was a mess but we were ok.

Starting a car once every week from November - February and letting it idle for 15 minutes is doing more harm than good. Especially if you store the car in a cold space. If you must start it, do it once a month and if possible get it run up to full operating temperature. Assuming you are using cold winter storage, I would do an oil/filter change followed by an engine fogging right before the winter lay up and let it sit. Remove or disconnect the battery but keep it charged. That's what I do with our boat, but as others have said, it's all individual opinion.

At least the flathead is period correct. But putting in a chevy 350 disguised as a 283? That's like putting in a 348 disguised as a 409. Or Peyton Manning dressing as Eli Manning at a costume party.

Ok, doing the math, a 3,000lb VW GTi with 200hp could go vertical at 25mph in 1st gear. At that rate it would climb to the top of Mt. Everest in just over 13 min. Just so you know.

So, the Chevy II was branded as the Acadian, but was essentially a Chevy Nova. Then they offered up a trim level on the Acadian called the Canso that was named for a French Canadian community in Nova Scotia. Ça ne va pas!

I worked at Leo Burnett during the "This is not your father's Oldsmobile" campaign. The general consensus was that if the cars were as good as the commercials, they wouldn't have dropped sales by 50% during the campaign. Downsizing, gutless I4s and V6s, front wheel drive. Then of course, the admonished and insulted "Fathers" leaving Olds for a V8, full sized, RWD Infinity and Lexus.

Not doubt, the 2021 will boost the price of a 1969. Not that there is any problem with the 2021, it's just not as sweet as the original.

Beautiful. The only thing I would second guess is the drivetrain. Wouldn't a period correct 392 Hemi or a 413 Wedge TorqueFlight transmission add a stronger tie to 1959?

I agree that the 240Z was a bargain but at 125mph top end, that's about equal to the 911T. However, the Series 2 E-type will best that by at least 15mph.

A lot of folks are missing the question. What is the coolest CAR named after an animal? Not the coolest ANIMAL NAME that a car was named after. Pinto, really? There are tons of cars way cooler than an Impala, but an Impala is a pretty cool animal name. As for which is faster, I'd love to see the car catch the animal in an open field. My list - Bearcat, Cobra, Mustang, Stingray, Viper Out of Bounds: Jaguar. It is a company name. Jaguar never produced a car named Jaguar. Spider. The coolest cars are spiders, but I'm not aware of anyone naming a car Spider.

Seems like the emphasis was placed on the coolest animal names and not the coolest cars named for an animal. Cougar, Barracuda, and Impala? I would posit that the Mustang, Stingray, Tiger, and any number of Jags were cooler cars. Ok, Hemi-Cuda perhaps.
