Why Does This Look Halfway Cool To Me?

It never did before...

Because the more we see new cars, the better the old E36 M3ty-looking cars look?

Because you can now buy a junkyard FWD LSx engine and trans to swap into it on the cheap?

Have you been hittin' the ether?

Actually, those don't look half bad when done up. For instance, this one looks fantastic

Personally I think the above started looking cool to me the moment that I saw:

I had a buddy in college that had an X back in the '80s. It was a mediocre POS, but it was as good as a Citation was ever gonna look.

It looks cool because for me it's nostalgic, but beyond that I got nothin'

Like the Vega, it is a clean, simple design. I like them -- although they could use more wheel and tire, and less ride height.

New medications kicking in???

Well hang on... are these RWD and easily V8 swappable?

Because i'm starting to feel ill as well, and wouldn't mind giving it about the same treatment that this Maverick got. I could easily see how this could turn into a badass little hoon machine.

are you driving the bimmer vert with the top down and no hat on....you know sun stroke is dangerous

Anyways, the X-11 looks cool because this is the E36 M3 we have to put up with in the modern world:

Why do I prefer this:

over this:

Clean, simple lines without all the bling and extra crap.

I always wanted a Mav.

X bodies are FWD. No simple LS solution.

because escalades are hideous. . . . oh wait we were talking about citations??

all I know is that maverick turns me on

please note my avatar, better pics to be posted later.

V8 swaps can (and have) been done. Start with a V8 Fiero kit and mod from there.

Yep, FWD, but nothing a SC 3800 driveline swap won't fix.

In reply to cutter67:

I can't figure out if it's that or the drugs.

Technically a northstar would bolt up to it's tranny except for 1 bolt

As though you actually need all the bolts!

Unnecessary photos of me showing off... One lap of America 2003

Most photos were too small to post, no digi-cam for me back then!

Watkins Glen Paddock day 1

Road America day 3. Yes we ran in that fog!

Hallet day 4

because you only have one eye open?

i love me some x-11 even if theyre 80s gm crap

I love me some 80s FWD but ive never been attracted to that car. I just helped a friend of mine send his to the scrapper. They're sort of neat but i'd much rather have an 86 z24 hatch or even an 87-88 cimarron with the same motor, let alone any of the other 80s fwd stuff ive actually gone for. I just bought 2 Shelby Lancers a couple days ago.
