Apparently the only FR-S in Indiana. :lol:



Picture from my mom. I didn't even get to see it. :grumpy:
 
This is stretching the definition of good, but it's my first Leaf sighting. (Technically my second, but it's the same exact car and I couldn't get a pic.the first time) Are these common in other parts of the world?

I kinda doubt that, there has to be more at toyota dealers.

Guessing your on 96th street. If so, its guaranteed your gonna see a exotic car.
My Job is on that street and I always am looking at my window and constantly seeing nice cars. Like yesterday for example.

I was just cleaning my window until I noticed something really weird.

A guy changing his shirt in the parking lot. So weird. So weird.

He came in for the 2 for 5 whopper. Guessing he didn't wanna mess up his other shirt cause he ate like a slob. Left a huge mess.


Then out of nowhere I heard this freaking backfire. Looked out my drive thru window saw this car

@JrDarkness, I'm not sure if it was on 96th street or not. She didn't say where she took the picture. But if you're regularly seeing those out there, I should go there more often. I go to Carmel every so often and see some nice cars.

@legacyMACHINE, Really? I'm surprised TBH.

I did see a leaf at anissan dealer last month Ill try and get a pic of it, didnt know if that was a joke josh.
 
If anyone cares to know the Cobra I posted on the last page according to the dyno made (these are flywheel figures.):

342hp @ 6,000rpm
339lb-ft @ 4,500rpm


Clocked this:


ET: 13.701
Trap Speed: 101.3
0-60: 5.651
0-100: 11.179

Goes through a RAD 4 speed manual and a 3.73 rear end. Not bad for a low compression V8 with a couple mods.

Always had a soft spot for the Mustang II, despite the slightly awkward styling and '70s power figures. 👍

I've come to like them. I always thought they were a little awkward but over the last year or so I put them pretty high on my list of favorite Mustangs. I'd take a II over something modern that's for sure. The handle pretty good too, at least in my opinion.

I will say that those figures are a HUGE improvement over the stock figures. Stock it was like 135/260. This Cobra has a '84 302, which that in itself is a slight improvement. '84 was 175/290 IIRC. That with a .30 overbore, Mutha' Thumpr cam, Edelbrock 4 barrel, custom headers and an intake yielded those figures. Most of it was the cam. She pulled hard all the way through 6,000 and left a smile on my face.

Yeah, the 302s in the II were restricted so much, so those gains aren't all that surprising considering. And 342hp and 339lbs lb/ft of V8 power would be enough to put a smile on anyone's face. 👍

I'm just sad that we rarely get anything like that over here in Britain. :(

I was pleasantly surprised when I got the dyno numbers. When I was riding around I was guessing around 260/350 so I really wasn't all that far off. And in a car that light it moved really well.

People don't realize the car weighs the same, sometimes lighter than a Fox Body (application depending) and is smaller in all dimensions except width where it's only larger by one inch. People can say what they want about Mustang II's but I wouldn't judge one until you get in it. You'd be surprised what they are capable of.

I see old cars all the time so this was nothing really.

Think he hit a curb or a pole? If it had gotten damaged from a bumpy road would the rest of the bumper be damaged?

Perhaps it was a single pit - he was unlucky to hit something this:

A common thing on Russian roads. Sad but true. :grumpy:

around here I've seen at least 4-5 leafs, dark red, blue, white and silver.
 
Unknown.



Also, JrDarkness, I asked my mom and it was on 96th street that the FR-S was on.
