I really loved this car growing up, and wanted to get one so bad. Got my license and ended up getting a Blue 2000 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

I've known all these details about the Arnage since I read about it in The Robb Report in 99 i think.

The 4.4 liter BMW engine the first Arnage had was definitely no slouch. But just about everyone prefers the guzzler.

This video is rated ‘M’ for mosquitos.

Why would any body spend their hard earn money on a car like this when you had brands like Toyota honda Datsun that were proven to be more reliable

I had a 5-speed 1989 Z-24 that went to 375,000 kms. The reason I had to junk it because a tree fell on it. Crap I could never find another one either. It had a racing ecu in it too, and twin piped stainless glass pack muffler. Sounded awesome.

Getting one monday.

Boost gauge was located right bottom as standard! Anyway, 40 yrs passed. I owned 3 of them for 17 yrs.

John Davis always knows how to make you laugh 😂 The 360 Spider is a gorgeous car, my all time favorite V8 Ferrari drop top. I forgot how good that 3.6L F136 V8 sounds at any speed, what a magnificent engine. When purer Ferraris were made.

We had an '86 5-door Nova with the CL trim level. The seats were really comfortable and the car was nearly perfect. The only real issue was that it had a weird hesitation and the choke on the carb would get gummed up. After we traded it in, I found out that Toyota dealers had a solution for the hesitation. The car was roomy, fuel efficient and being a 5-door could haul stuff very well. I put an aftermarket stereo with a big power amp in it and really hammered the stock speakers,which took it in stride. I would love to have that car today!

Gung Ho! Michael Keaton was great in this.

My Riviera and I also❤ it's more expensive twin, the reatta❤

Amazing that this old video is still relevant, because the Buell XB9R & S are still very relevant today. These remain the same scalpels of the track as they were 21 years ago when I bought the XB9S that I still trackday. I also had an XB9R like the one shown but prefer the XB9S (street). The body position and knee work is a bit different but the wider handle bars make it better, even for my 6 ft 3 inch physique. I have uploaded my September 28, 2024 trackday as a RUclips video. It is comprised of many still shots and a few brief video snippets. At time marker 1:49 the videographer caught me into a great left hander but cut the camera as I made the turn-in. No, I did not lay it down but throughout the day gathered lots of Pirelli boogers in those Ss. If you desire to start trackdays and want a real seat of the pants (leathers) feel, get a good used Buell air-cooled XB9 or XB12 S or R. Get it repaired correctly and have a ball. It will do an honest 120 mph on this short straight but the real kick is going faster through the turns than the bigger bikes. They will pass you on the straight but you catch'em in the turns. The XB9S is also my street bike, with lots of smiles on the street rides too. Use title; 80 year old motorcyclist track day because I cannot imbed the actual YT address here.

I remember seeing a few of them back in the day but I remember one in particular. I worked as a maintenance man at a hotel back in the early 90s and they had a few banquet rooms that they rented out for meetings,weddings etc. I remember a lady that had a hatchback Nova who was there every month for a local group that always had meetings there. She was a middle aged lady that had a 5 speed Nova which back then it was common for a car of that size to be a stick shift! Sadly you don't have many options to get a base car with a manual transmission like you did back then as many people would learn to drive a standard with an econobox and keep buying them until they were forced to switch to an automatic!

I had new in 1987. It never was a Chevrolet Nova. It was a Toyota. Period. 🤔

The downside! You could buy at the same time a mustang 5.0 convertible for around 17,000 dollars that was a better car and much more ego boosting and fun to drive

What a junk...a total rip off

I love my Saab Arc convertible but the repairs are costly when it's time to take it to the shop.

My mom used to had a 1985 Toyota Cressida. I remember growing up seeing the mid to late 80s Chevy Nova's on the road before they switch to Geo Prizm in the Geo brand GE🌎...

I love mine so much that I once tried shagging it.

As a.af"FORD"able man, One of the few "Heartbeat 💓 of America" car models that I truly appreciate. just enjoying the beautiful view 🪟 From a Long distance loveline.

It was low 15-15.7 not a 16 sec car and yes it would eat most bmw 5 if both didn't have a tune but both had same tranny lol this guy didn't know wack on this and some like mine had electric blowers like turbo / supercharger i know this because you have to disconnect it and a cooler lines and stuff to do a belts changes and with a tune transmission it do 14 high to 15.2 and put wider vette tires sizes on it and it do 15 all day intil motor or tranny or rearend parts go but it would do alll on dash and some if in right modes and light up on gas and cut plastic shims off gas petal i did mine because i wanted a fancy after market race looking and same with steering wheel and wheels at first but moved back to stock looking stuff and and tubontics company has upgraded blowers and electric stuff and coils and the cosica exhast and other parts and a airraid coolbox was also upgraded and well just to say caddy warranty was never worth it anyways and they hated them so i just got parts and stolen parts out of others in our lots to fix mine like they was my own parts bin 😂 because most was headed to junk yards i took wheels and lugs and bumpers and fog lamps and trunks and doors front glass and rear glass and sunroof and list go on

The sport v in black was a mix of them two and thats what i had

If you didn't mind having a 2 seater with an automatic transmission grand am V6 Buick engine was better than the 2.8 V6

I never realized they cost that much. I bought a 5.0 Mustang in 88 and it was about $13k. It wasn’t a convertible but it was pretty well loaded and had the sunroof.

Its funny because you throw a set of Bilsteins on these rigs and it corrects ALL the body roll and bounciness and still makes it ride plush

I have an MR2 Spyder. Owned it for 11 years and still can't get over how good Toyota managed to make it sound stock. Still brings a smile to my face :D

Just bought one.

I own a 1999 first edition and can say they definitely arent boring haha

MotorWeek review of the 2002 Bentley arnage t

Shit my dad paid 42,000 for a new 92 convertible with the L98 😂 8 more thousand for this was a bargain 10 years later

The iroc z camaro was shead of its time it still looks better than any new camaro out there the first time i rode in one was a 88 and i couldnt beleive the power taking off it was the first car i was in that hit 145mph on the highway ive wanted one ever since maybe one day

I had an XR2 nd loved it but wanted an Mr2 Mk1 but never had one till now. 33 years later. Lovely car.

As far as I'm concerned early 00's can go down in history as the peak for engineering and design creativity for all things internal combustion.

Now i noticed these are called Trailblazer too, thought these were Blazers and 02+ were Trailblazers 😅

Driving one of these in 2024 would be a power move.

Yay MR2 representations

I'm not sure what you mean by the convertible top. I had an 89 and it was a standard hardtop

thank u 4 this 😍

I love my 2001 MR2. Took out the pre cats, extra 10hp helps

It's all fun until the opti craps out lol.

This

Can't wait to pick up mine tomorrow :D

mine is a 86 GT with a Ferrari kit on it. Just trying to find the correct ride height right now. First it was too high, then too low, now I'm finding a good place somewhere inbetween

My 84 Monte Carlo SS would eat IROCs even the 5.7s!

I have a 02 with 168,000 on it. Just a great truck. I love her.

I owned a '95. Stealth black with gray interior. Best seats hands down of any car ive owned.

Lovely cars great mechanics but sadly let down by electrical gremlins. A rare sight on UK roads now. I would love a V6 version

apart from the ill-fated and unreliable Audi Offroad, large Citroens are the ONLY vehicles that are a relaxing drive at 110 mhp, can up their suspension in case of high water or a snowdrift, and have good fuel economy. A truly civilized and versatile car. Setright knew what he was talking about when he praised them.

I HAD AN 86.5 WITH A 5 - SPEED GETRAG GERMAN TRANNY , THE OTHER WAS A 88 WITH THE T-125 AUTO BOTH GT MODELS , THE SUSPENSION UPGRADE FOR 1988 WAS WORLDS APART FROM ITS INTRO COUNTERPART , I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE AN INDY FIERO AND A 88 COUPE , SWITCH THE BODY PANELS , INTERIOR ETC… PULL THE IRON DUKE SHAVE THE HEAD , RAISE THE COMPRESSION RATIO , STROKE THE CRANK , RE- SIZE SHOT PEEN THE RODS OR RE - WORK 455 SUPER - DUTY RODS FOR STRENGTH , DRILL THE CRANK OIL PASSAGES , BALANCE THE WHOLE SHE BANG !!!
