Me too, as long as the catalyst is messed up somehow so I can replace it with one that actually converts exhaust gases into less harmful substances instead of preventing any exhaust gases from escaping at all.
 
Have you forgotten who you've dumped your extremely misguided views about flash-animated pastel ponies in front of?

Maybe I'm just being thick, but are you talking about things I've said in the past or this discussion right here.
 
You were the one who originally posted the of that Mustang.
 
It was a joke in response to Slash asking why the Mustang had a girly image. So I posted a picture of an MLP Mustang to answer his question.
 
As I've said before I can't think of a more manly car haha.
 
It doesn't have that "get the 🤬 out of my way bitch or I'll eat you" stance that a Boss 429 Mustang has.
 
Positive. Camaros are nice but they just dont do it for me. Granted, I would never pass one up if I ever had chance to own one.

No thanks. Looks like a rolling sausage. Looks like Oscar the grouch wanted to go racing so he put wheels on his garbage can and stuck a number on it.

Are you serious? That's a highly engineered monster from the 1930s, sure it's not pretty but if you're talking about cars being manly, it doesn't get much more so than that. 200mph on those tyres with a reputation for being a massive handful.

Awesome.
 
Doesn't change the fact that it looks like a coffee can on wheels. I have 0 interest in that car at all and I don't think it looks manly at all.

That doesn't make it a bad car though 👍
 
How manly are these cars? You can light up the rear tires at over 100 MPH. They also had nearly 550 HP, and that is before WWII.

Bernd Rosemeyer actually drove around the Nurburgring in just 1 gear, that is a good example of the power of these cars.

I wouldn't be afraid to take on an 80's turbocharged F1 car with the boost set to "adequate" (That would never happen), but reading about the handling "characteristics" of those Auto Unions scares me out of driving one at full tilt.

My ultimate GRRRRRR MACHO CAR would be a '68-'72 Nova SS. Flat black paint, flat gray hockey stripe. Cranked up big block, with Hilborn MFI (from what I've read, ridiculously good response and a uniquely excellent engine sound if you can ghetto-rig your way around the driveability problems, and if I'm building a car like that fuel economy isn't a priority anyway).
 
I still don't think its manly. Nothing to me with ever match the Boss. Ever.
 
Looks manly > actually manly.

Does not compute.
 
The 67/68 come in directly after the 69/70.

I think you just described the Murder Nova.

Probably the most badass Nova ever built.
 
Not quite. Mine probably wouldn't have the meats on the back and pizza cutters on the front, for one. Handling has never been my first priority but choosing wheels and tires that restrict the car to straight-line duty only is over the line for me.

The only car I can think that is closest is the IMSA Chevy Monza.

The only car that could keep up with brutal Porsche 935.

The sound of raw testosterone is a big block that shakes the ground violently while idling, and can be heard for miles.

Listen to it and you'll probably enjoy it, it sounds like a monster truck V8 mixed with a WW2 Fighter Plane
