Two Door Tuesday Lets See Them Two Doors

[DALOLA]

No clue what that is? Somebody else is always going to have someone beat, it must be a jealously thing?

Frankie just sent me this video the other day and I just wanted to share it with yall. That's way too much power for me, especially for a street car....

I have an 88 Notchback with a new Blueprint 302 in it, NA, dyno'd at nearly 400 @ the crank and honestly, that's too much for me I've always liked Mustangs and wanted a nice modern 80's hotrod from when I was growing up! My mom had a '69 Mach 1 right before I was born!

Love seeing the old fox body notchbacks! Reminds me of my '88, started life as a 4cyl/5spd, ended life as a Frankenstein 466 CJ Lima motor/C6 with a 250hp N2O shot. Made about 850 with the bottle, would run high 9's all day long on 10" cheaters. Super fun, very reliable sleeper street car. I'll hafta dig up some pix....sold that one about 20 years ago....

(To the tune of ZZ Top cheap aun asses) Mustangs come in two classes those that are still ponies and those of snake classes...oh yeah

You would think being 6' 6" tall and 250 would have a ton of majorities, but...

I'm glad I don't have short man syndrome, haha!

My wife is 5'3", granted I've always loved short women!

The satisfaction of some random, short lady at the grocery store that cannot reach the top shelf My wife says they didn't really need anything from up there, they were just flirting with me, cause she used to do the same thing before meeting me, LOL!

My love for small/tiny vehicles, haha!

You should not… This isn’t a technical thread, seems to be people that like 2 door vehicles.

… The OP chose the title
“Two Door Tuesday Lets See Them Two Doors”

This is true, it doesn't specify what kind of 2 door? I came back I blocked that guy, (isn't the 1st, most likely won't be the last...?), he's complained about other things I've said in the past, so I figured it was the best option, for now at least....

Hey, mustang has a moar door now too!!!

mach-e is as much of a mustang as bsport is a bronco.

Just because you are a very large man does not make me short.... I am actually the exact average height of an American male (at least that was the average in 1990)... Probably edged up since then... THAT is why everything is made for me.... Manufacturers make things for the average and then try to make it adjustable for both ends of the spectrum. Now see that miata...(love a miata by the way)... Made to fit me perfectly....

I don't recall calling you short?

I wish I was closer to that height or something... I was 5'11" in the 5th grade! I make cars fit me, LOL! I loved my Miata and it went through a ton of stages, over 6 years! In the end, I had swapped an Acura K24 engine in it, as well as a 6 spd and got it painted Audi Turbo Blue. It was an awesome car, that I paid $1600 bucks for and had almost $40k in the end! I was so terrified to drive it, not because of the new power, because I was afraid some asshat would hit me and total it...

Mach-E is as much of a Mustang as Bronco Sport is a Bronco.

I'm still not 100% sure why Ford has done this... My dealer said they're trying to get down to 3 or 4 total names, like an Explorer, then sub models, even if they don't look like an Explorer will be put under the Explorer name... Sounds like BS to me...

 

[crzyhawk]

Marketing. I buy what your dealer is saying even if I think the idea is dumb. They're treating the Bronco nameplate as a "family" of vehicles. Seems that the Mustang is going that route as well. I wouldn't be overly surprised to see the 6g Bronco replaced with an Everest branded as a Bronco in the US since it's closer to the Ranger that they all share.

Sorry... Just misinterpreted the comment:
"I'm glad I don't have short man syndrome, haha!"

Got to admit there are a lot of guys that do....

Miata is the most popular race car in the world for a reason.... Even with a rather under powered drive train. Momentum car! Dropping in that K24 that thing had to be fun!

It is the most popular car in the world! I loved that little car and regret selling it!

Yes, there are a bunch of men that have it. I work with a few... I'm like this big ole turd and don't get mad about nothing, LOL!

It was NA and dyno'd at 207WHP! It was a completely different beast after the K swap!

Yes, that's what I was talking about... The dealer that sold us both our Bronco's said something like there were going to be 5 main names:

F-150
Bronco
Mustang
Ranger
and something for the sedans

Then, sub categories or something, like the Maverick could be placed in the Ranger category...

I remember a story about the test driver for Lamborghini... He was (is?) German and he was testing out the new model running 1001hp at Nuremburg.... Had it there a week. Posted his best time.... Next day he returned in his NA.... mild suspension tune and a turbo so was at 250hp.... Beat the Lambo time (his time) by almost 20 seconds.....Lambo blew the doors off on top speed but weighed so much it could not hold the speed through the corners.... Had youtube videos of his full run posted at one time...
