What could I possibly say about this car that hasn’t already been said? The F40 is a Godfather of supercars. An ultimate expression of performance at all costs. The 2.9-liter turbocharged V8 redefining what a street-legal car was capable of. Then entire car was sculpted to maximize engine cooling and downforce, accentuated by the tall,Continue reading “Winged Car Wednesday: Ferrari F40”

Irrational Love – Front-Wheel Drive Pontiac Grand Prix’s
In 1988, I was a mere adolescent, too young to comprehend (or frankly care) about the current automotive landscape. But I have a feeling many Grand Prix faithful were appalled by the decision to switch Pontiac’s mid-size coupe from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. Although many probably predicted doom, gloom, and the end of theContinue reading “Irrational Love – Front-Wheel Drive Pontiac Grand Prix’s”
Graded: Pontiac Grand Am
Welcome to Graded. Here we discuss legendary marques, models, or trim packages and affix a letter grade to a selection of vehicles falling under that topic. The grades mean nothing and are completely arbitrary. I fully encourage you to tell me what I got wrong and how you would grade them instead. Have some funContinue reading “Graded: Pontiac Grand Am”
Find of the Day – Eagle Summit Turned Eclipse GSX with EVO Power
The title says it all. What we have here is a Eagle Summit Coupe that someone installed the entire drivetrain from a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX into. If that wasn’t enough, the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine was then apparently brought up to Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION II specifications. The ad features a lot of photos and quite aContinue reading “Find of the Day – Eagle Summit Turned Eclipse GSX with EVO Power”
Irrational Love – Subaru XT
In the early ‘80s, it seemed every Japanese manufacturer was vying for consumers attention with a two-door, wedge-shaped coupe. Well, every manufacturer but one. Nissan had the 300ZX, Toyora the Supra, Mazda the RX-7, Honda the Prelude, and Mitsubishi the Starion. But Subaru had nothing. At least, the brand had nothing until the 1985 introductionContinue reading “Irrational Love – Subaru XT”

Winged Car Wednesday – Toyota Pikes Peak Monster
Suzuki isn’t the only Japanese manufacturer to achieve success on the fabled Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Toyota has quite the storied history as well. Starting in 1994, Rod Millen rocketed up the hill in a Toyota Celica, crushing the overall record by almost 40 seconds. The al-wheel drive Celica was powered by a four-cylinderContinue reading “Winged Car Wednesday – Toyota Pikes Peak Monster”
