I traded my 2013 Cruze LTZ RS in on a 2014 Cadillac CTS 3.6 Performance Coupe. It is only the 3.6, but it is rated 318HP and is rear wheel drive. I put a Magnaflow Cat back on it and it is a little louder and maybe a couple HP?
2012 Porsche Carrera GTS PDK Cab with paddles, 408 hp, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, quarter in sub-12, and handling better than any car I've ever driven.
The Porsche is dang nice. A better performer in every measurable way over the L76; except in fun. My wife and I are expecting another child. I need to trade one two-seater for a Tesla S with two car seats before the end of the year.
Yes The 76 Triumph Bonneville that I custom built, Duel Mikunki carbs, 2 plugs per cyc, duel coiled, racing clutches, Rons on 108 Octane, Bobbed all by me.
How do the engines hold up in those old turbo birds? I'd love to have one again sometime.
Not too bad if you keep them stock. I got that one, changed the timing belt, tuned it up, added some ground wires to the system and it's pretty freaking reliable. Average MPG is up around 30 if you keep your foot out of it.
The person that bought my 86 Turbo had a major engine failure after about a year. I think I've seen one on the road in the past few years, so I probably incorrectly assumed that the Garretts did not age well. It was a lot of fun, as you know.
Sometime I'd like to pick up a 1990 35th Anniversary T-Bird. It seems I have an affinity for the 35s.
