krenzy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 the motors are built in germany. So was the Third Reich. It's still a Ford anyway you look at it lol. And GOD I personally think those are one of the ugliest cars...a Saab knockoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I see there is a Merkur XR4Ti. There is one of those for sale on craigslist near me for like $900 supposedly in good shape but faded paint. Id love to pick that up but i imagine parts for those are harder to find even than tgp parts. And what was with that name lol? Possibly worst car name ever. those cars are awesome. I want to get one bad. the american version of the sierra. a rally drift car by nature. perfect weight distrubution rwd 4cyl ball bearing turbo. GET IT!!!. they are so light and fast. you can run so much boost on them. the motors are built in germany. I thought they had the same 2.3 turbo that the Turbocoupe and SVO had and that was made here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottster Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Plus the dodge colt, charger, aries.. Lets not forget, they also had the K-Car Hemi... LOL IIRC all those little four bangers had hemispherical combustion chambers, so they really were "hemis"...just not ones that you would brag about with flat black vinyl graphics on side of the rear quarter.

I wish i could buy it but the TGP is my car to dump money and time into....i dont have enough of either to support another car! I am looking for a second car, not looking real hard i just need something by next fall/winter, but whatever i get is gonna have to be reliable and cheap to fix. And we all know that also means slow and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 the mustang gays musta caught wind of the survey because the callaway corvette should be #1 and the GNX is a close 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93CutlassSupreme Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 What's the big surprise? The Mustang has more fans than any other car in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I voted for the Conquest, sorry guys I've always wanted one of those. It's like the classic retarded looking Japanese love child of a 924 and an old 300z that can rip the balls off a Mustang while sending the sweet smell of burning coolant his way.
