      ​​@@petrolhead8851 go buy a new Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger. Keep old cars old. There are literally millions of "high tech" cars on the road to choose from. There is nothing like driving a vintage car that is still vintage.

    I had a 4.57 posi 9" rear in my '65 fastback. 289 hi po w/4 speed. Street/ strip,red & red interior. It was pretty fast for what it was. 8.30 in the 1/8th on 7" cheater slicks. I had more fun with that car than any other. I'm 70 now & still wish i had it! This black one is insanely beautiful! Turning 7,000 rpm all the time,i definitely needed my tach!ps.i gave $650 for it in 1971! LOL

      I have to agree with you on that. Dry sump has and always been seen as a superior lubrication system compared to wet sump because you can direct the oil where you want it and it’s set up for better scavenging during high G cornering

    • @Thunderstruck951

      The rules vary from state to state, but in many states there are no inspections and no real “rules”. As long as the brake lights work, you paid your yearly license plate registration, and your not so loud that you annoy a police officer, your good to go.

    Just one thing about over-engineering german cars: it fails often and/or needs A LOT of (pricey) maintenance.

    the "Monte Carlo bar" and "export brace" are in fact, the same thing. all Mustangs and Falcons came with the left and right "hockey stick" stamped piece coming off the top of the shock towers to the firewall. But when Falcons went racing in Monte Carlo prior to the Mustang's invention, they found they needed even more support. They looked at the tube running in front of the shock towers and air cleaner that was installed on cars exported across the sea, and realized that would do the trick.
    One day someone will do a movie about the Falcon's attempt at Monte Carlo. Like Ford v Ferrari, it's a case of the racers versus the "suits", the Falcon crew from England got real close and then were told to shelve everything as the Mustang was going to be the new "fair haired child" at Ford. It was always about selling a product.

If I understood that right, and you've also driven in a car that has seriously subpar brakes, I would suggest for your own safety you rethink what cars you get it.
