Miata is always the answer, right? Dead wrong! We put together this list of 7 lightweight sports cars and they’re all cheap, plentiful, have a ton of aftermarket support, and most importantly: they’re not Miatas. This is D-List!

@@biggabenne Years back I was headed home in my Stealth with cruise set at 70. In the left lane I see a set of Civic headlights approaching. He backed off and was hanging at my rear quarter panel. Knowing what he was up to, my cousin was in the passenger seat and asked if I was going to race. I said no, just let this guy keep playing. Well, then the guy starts the whole, goose the throttle, back off, goose the throttle, back off. He finally annoyed me enough, and I tell my cousin to hang on. The next time he dropped back I downshifted to 3rd and dropped the hammer. I pulled on him hard, grabbed 4th, still pulling, grab 5th at 120. I look in the rear view and see him approaching, FAST. I look at the speedo and I am at 130 and just at that moment he passed me like I wasn't moving. My jaw dropped, my cousin was like WTF was that? I simply said, that's one fast ass Civic is what that is. It is a memory that I will laugh at forever.

None of the 1990-1994 motors experienced crankwalk, as far as I'm aware. As for the 1995-1999 engines, I think it was a bit overblown. It apparently was only a problem during low oiling scenarios. I never had a problem with my '97 Eclipse although I disabled the clutch switch as soon as I was aware, as I hated the idea of putting pressure on the crank with zero oil pressure.

I'm sad because he didn't mention the SN95/new edge (94-04) mustang when he mentioned the fox, it's on the same platform, and you can legitimately get an amazing example for 2k (just stay away from cobras under 5k, got screwed getting one for 3800, trans blew in a month, had to put a new rack and power steering pump in it, had to replace the front shocks, had to change the clutch after finding out it had a GT clutch rather than a cobra clutch, it's currently sitting in my driveway waiting to have the engine pulled and refreshed to go in my amazing 96 gt.

I'm 6'4. My first project car was a '64 Valiant. With a 340 V8 and a 4-speed, that car weighed only 2870 lbs, which was about 90 lbs less than my buddy's 327 Vega. Terrible stock brakes, but with some parts juggling I was able to swap to 11.8" front disc brakes from a '70 Imperial. Had to get custom-made headers done up, though, there isn't much room between the fenderwells.

The Crown Victoria. You can't walk outside without tripping over one, the parts are practically free, and it has, possibly, the most reliable engine ever made. And mods are everywhere, because it's basically a four door mustang. I've owned 3 and raced them all, until Chicago winters turned the frame to dust.
@pawa303 2 жыл бұрын
I think a huge part of why those aren't as popular with these car guys as other cars like the Civic, Mustang, and Miata is because of the auto:manual ratio. I've been looking around for a manual Crown Vic and there's very few around, at least where I live.

Former DSM owner here. The crankwalk mentioned in this video was only prevalent in the 2nd gen DSMs with the much maligned "7-bolt" version of the 4G63 2.0L engine. This was encountered mostly in 95-99 models, from what I recall. The older, 1st gen DSMs with the "6-bolt" 4G63 didn't have this issue, and so MANY 2nd gens had 1st gen engine swaps. The more you know. *ding*
