Cars - Japanese Legends

[TtTOtW]

Drool over them here. Stick to the topic.

What kind of Japanese cars? These?

But recreated in SFS?

 

[TtTOtW]

The 86 is a modern recreation of a killer classic. But it is not mechanically true to the original, as it does not have a unique body (it is shared with the Subaru BRZ) and it has a non-native engine (a Subaru flat 4 vs the straight 6 of the 2000GT). A great drive. But a sad departure from its roots.

Subaru cars aren't popular in my country, it is mostly dominated by Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes.

 

[TtTOtW]

In South Africa, Toyota, Ford and VW is king, followed by Mercedes and BMW for the financially stronger section of society. Together they represent more than half the cars in the country, old or new. KIA and Hyundai has claimed a huge chunk of the cake for themselves too.

Heres the Ford GT, it was at the car show in Detroit in Janurary

Detroit is Motor City. 1964 marked a day in history... The Mustang was born. And has ruled the hearts of purists ever since.

^^favorite kind of car

 

[TtTOtW]

1964½ model, red, convertible top (cream), wire spoke compomotive wheels with whitewall tyres, 2 speed auto with the optional overdrive, brown leather bench seats... Beautiful 6 cylinder engine that adorned these engine bays before the brutal V8s...

Hold up, wasn't the mustang U.S.A.?

 

[TtTOtW]

Yup.

 

[Earlmilly1]

Yup.

So we can talk about any car, not just japanese ones?

 

[Earlmilly1]

What are your thoughts on NASCAR's ford fusion?

It's ok, we'll just get back to Japanese cars once in a while. But they are by far my favourite builders of sports cars in the 90's

*Initial D intensifies*

 

[TtTOtW]

Initial D showcases mainly a mid-80's car, not the 90's. In the 90's came Moon Over The Castle by Daiki Kasho.
