Early v6 base XJ vs late base XJs. A base model, manual trans, crank window Cherokee with a HO I6 is something people search the world over for. They’ll find an early v6 model and just scoff and move on.

It was a very odd choice. Maybe the regen helped keep the brakes from getting too hot. Was his first time though, I’m curious if he ever went back.

A guy showed up at Streets of Willow in one for his first ever track day. He basically destroyed the tires, had some heat issues but had fun. Weird seeing one on track though.

Because if a writer of his stature, still felt that same fear that a writer in his infancy feels, then me and my 2000 words will be ok.

lol, I lived in the Bay Area when the whistle tip showed up and I remember when they interviewed the infamous Bub Rubb and Lil Sis. “WOO WOO!!”

It’s unfortunate how awful the interior in these interceptors are, also I hate them because I have to work on a few them.

Now the only piece of LA county’s drag racing history left is Pamona. Which hosts two races a year because some suburban ass hats moved in and said it’s too loud. If you live near a public drag strip, go have some fun before it’s gone.

Bmw 128i could work. They’re usually under 12k, n52 is reliable and easy to work on. And can carry 3 passengers.

Yep, and that’s right around the time the SMOG program started. I’ve talked with people who grew up in SoCal in the 70s and they’d have smog days at school where recess was in doors because of how abysmal the air quality was.
