Reno911 I believe the car in your second link is actually a Zimmer; it's certainly not a real RR. Zimmers were "component cars" (think kit car made by a legit factory) based on Ford/Mercury/Lincoln chassis in the early to mid-1980s. I believe they are all titled as Lincolns.

Two picks for worst: Both from the early 80's

#1 was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite with a six banger. We had one waay in the back of the yard that we had to use only when everything else was broken down. In-line skaters could pass it.

#2 was a 1982 Ford LTD with a 302 cid engine with 2 bbl carb. same problem as #1.

Best for me was a 1989 Chevy Impala with the 350 cid engine and 4 bbl carb. We had them for a few years and went back to Fords in the early 90's. I missed the 9C1 chevvy

Zuke, does the Lambo come with a full time mechanic? Methinks the MoPar would be more reliable, fast enough and able to work a 12 hour detail after a busy 8 hour shift! 8)

One of the worst cruisers I had to drive was an 85 Ford LTD CV: 351 CID (Windsor) with a 'variable venturi' carb. Top speed, 115 MPH...on a good day...it was mechanically reliable, though...as was the 84 Diplomat with 318 4bbl, not a speed demon, but on an urban campus, fast enough! :D There was an after-market Holley throttle-body injector available for the 351 (with or without computer), but as I was married at the time, I couldn't afford to retrofit my cruiser :evil: .

While stationed in Germany we had VW vans, top end was about 70 mph... going down hill ... with a tail wind. There is nothing as embarassing as being passed by a local citizen while you are running code! :roll:

The new Charger is looking good.
