The Z car looks pretty awesome.
Personally I think collecting and then restoring classic race cars and racing them is way better
than road cars (albeit classic Italian ones) which are more or less static models in garages and museums.
Be interested in the progress of the restoration, when it takes place.
Thanks for the show
ya, i think ace has come to the conclusion that owning a bunch of garage queens that deteriate & cant be driven for any enjoyment gets old, especially when you have less time. if i had the money, i would choose racing.
Glad to hear Adam is finally getting a Z32.
Btw, the Boxster is the “douchiest” car ever made, despite the fact that it is a solid choice otherwise. In other words, if you only drive out in the country by youself, it would be ideal. But I would rather be seen in a white rental car than a Boxster with the top down.
Why wouldn’t you want to be seen in a Boxster? It’s a fine piece of engineering AND it looks great — especially the new one. Don’t be so caught up in how others perceive you.
I think you need to titrate off the Estrogen and then grow a pair.
Because the Boxter is for chicks who want a Porsche and the 911 is for dudes, simple as that.
Adam,
Heads up for the Long Beach Grand Prix. I am sure you are aware. Switch over to the FRS for celebrity race.

I think the Capri Adam was talking about was the Pre-1977 European Capri, it was built in Germany & imported to the US. In 1978 the Capri became the sister car to the fox body Mustang in the US even though the European version was still being built & sold in Europe until the mid- 80’s. I had a 77 with a 2.3 liter 4-cyl. that would easily do 120mph stock. I heard the 2.8 liter V6 was even faster…great little fun car!!
Correction: The Focus ST has a 12.4 gallon gas tank. 10 gallons would be a little crazy.
