Check out how far back the engine is mounted. It’s bonkers!
I recall the Esperante had a Cobra drivetrain. Were the race cars also Ford powered?
Yeah, to start. 6.0 engines built by Roush.Quote:

WEC field for the Sebring1000 today.
So much sex in there. To think many of these cars and teams will be going right back at it for 12 hours of Sebring less than a day after this race finishes.

I think the new Hypercar/GTPro class is going to usher in a new "golden age" of sportscar racing.
Sportscar racing is the best kind of racing and it isn’t even close F1 parade fans. :fmicon:

Tired of blending in at every cars and coffee event you go? Too late to hop on the JDM trend? Love a fender overhang? Then my friend, let me show you the Citroen BX.

Which can be yours for under $6k.
It comes with a goddamed parcel shelf! Think about the parcels you can cart around!
Citroen was committed to the fender skirt.
How are you watching the race Friday?
That's exactly the kind of esoterica I can appreciate. I should get me one of those.Quote:

MotorTrend channel for WEC Sebring1000 (via Hulu) and USA for the 12 hours of Sebring on Saturday (via Hulu). Sucks I'll only get 4:30-10:30pm for the 12 hours but its better than nothing and I don't need another fucking streaming app (peacock) to watch the rest (although I'm really tempted after not seeing any fucking skiing on tv this year like I did when NBCSports was on Hulu.Quote:

Stoked to see US Ski Team ambassador Patrick Dempsy's Dempsey-Proton 911 with a strong showing in GT.
.Thanks pal. I gave yup on the V8 thing after looking at several with an without chain guide updates. Just too much possibility for more of a shitshow than my pocketbook could potentially bear.
Dating out of my league with all the fancy buttons and shit. Might take a minute to figure it all out.

Saw this in Jackson 2 yrs ago. He
Got new racks.
Oft, I had that same car for 10 years but "Deep Sea Blue". I did a ton to it - lots of suspension stuff, tune, wheels, etc. etc.. If you want any tips/ideas on what to do to perk it up ping me.
Nice out tonight. Attachment 452956
Great look. What a view.
0-60 in 1.66?? JHC
I remember when supercars were barely breaking 4 seconds
Fuckn sub 9 sec quarter! Hahaha
My boy found one of these in Chicago last Nov with <30k on the cllock that just popped up. He put a deposit on it and when he got there first thing in the morning the salesman told him they had 25 calls on the car that morning. He asked him if there was something special about the car that he didn't know about. Car was priced at $12k. Its in his driveway. Congrats Oft.
