I pulled up to this one at the light this morning. Given the size of that wing it must make over 1000 hp, good thing there were minimal stickers on it or it likely wouldn’t be streetable.

Plenty of shitboxes would destroy an AMG in the corners, or in a straight line, and nobody would confuse it with a KIA stinger on the street.

Quoted: No one cares if a V8 swapped and turboed Fiero can go faster in a straight line than an AMG, because it's still a fucking Fiero. In my opinion, AMG is the definition of “souped up shitbox”

That's how I feel about all cars. I don't want the attention of strangers in public. Go to airports near big cities where people have some money. You'll see the majority of people with planes driving fairly basic vehicles.

People make due with what they must.
And so do you OP. It is doubtful you have your dream car. You had to make a compromise. I like car people not car snobs. Kids souping up shitbox Hondas and the like are the spiritual successors to the hot rodders of yore. |

I’ll disagree, case in point
Look up the smoking tire XJ ls swap Someone took prior gen Jaguar XJ8 did an ls swap with a gated shifter, full custom interior and paint I’m not understanding why he did an LS swap though With the 4.0 he could have just swapped Ecu with a XJR and plop a super charger on the engine for similar NA LS horsepower Maybe he really wanted a manual? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's how I feel about all cars. I don't want the attention of strangers in public. Go to airports near big cities where people have some money. You'll see the majority of people with planes driving fairly basic vehicles. Horseshit. That is a horrible way to extrapolate a data set. It is far from that simple and it depends on what you mean by peopel with planes. NOT talking about the private jet crowd: A lot of people HAVE to drive a basic car to have an airplane, It is a choice they make but airplane people tend to be car people. As they move up the ladder, I would say the vast majority of people who can have a plane and a cool car(s), do. The private jet crowd has more than one car and almost universally expensive cars, even if they are rich guy boring. (An S Class, 7 Series, Lexus, or an expensive truck....) People also do not tend to leave high end flashy cars at the airport, even the private terminals. |

I have an E36 BMW M3 with a V8 swap.... not a shit box at all. It might not destroy an AMG, but it would give it one hell of a run for it's money.
