Z Cars ~ Z History Back-to-basics is the name of the game when it comes to sports cars, and for Nissan, it means a return to more of a performance orientation during the development of the next generation Z-car. Named Motor Trend's "Import Car of the Year" for 1979, the 280ZX sets the all-time sales record for the Z line with 86,007 units sold. Nissan, working with Steve Millen Sports Cars, produces a limited edition 25th Anniversary 300ZX Twin Turbo, the SMZ featuring a 365hp engine, larger wheels, bigger brakes, upgraded suspension and a large rear wing. www.zcca.org /pages/ZCarsZhistory.htm   (1577 words)

Car and Driver Magazine - Ford Ranger - October 2000 Car and Driver Magazine - Ford Ranger - October 2000 So the Ranger will be available as a regular or SuperCab (two rows of seats) model with two wheelbase choices and the option of two- or four-wheel drive with either Styleside (normal) or Flareside (kinda sporty) load beds. Ride height on Edge Rangers is the same hiked-up 4x4 configuration regardless of the number of wheels that can actually be driven, and the Edge also gets a molded bed rail; an easily cleaned (it says here) vinyl floor interior; a 60-watt, four-speaker, CD-player stereo system; and 15-inch wheels and 235/75R-15 tires. www.caranddriver.com /article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=3173   (661 words)

FORDMUSCLE.com web-magazine - Electric Fan Installation for 5.0 Mustangs This is fine for a strip car where you are constantly monitoring the temperature. This meant that it must be thermostatically controlled, as well as having a manual switch option. The fan also needed to have an AC activated switch (air conditioning places additional cooling demands, thus you want a fan that switches on automatically when then the AC is turned on.) Finally the fan had to be a direct, no-hassle, bolt in. www.fordmuscle.com /archives/2000/06/electricfan/index.shtml   (1418 words)

Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games: World Rally Championship II Extreme Platinum Graphics have improved and so has the sound [although the clattering and banging of the car can get a bit annoying after a while], the addition of buildings is a nice touch. The option exists to dive in for a quick race, but the real dividends are reaped when you take on the WRC mode. The rallies may be similar but all the stages are different from the original WRC game, so you are getting a 'new game' for your money. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AN1C1   (1418 words)

Wildcat combined luxury, power in '60s Buick said the 1967 Wildcat was a "performance car that looks like a luxury car,'' but Car Life magazine called it "more friendly than fierce.'' The Gran Sport option was gone, but the standard new 430-cubic-inch V-8 pumped out 360 horsepower. Buick called the 1962 Wildcat a "torrid new luxury sports car,'' but it was too big and heavy to resemble a sports car and had plenty of upscale Buick's comfort items. The 1965-69 Buick Wildcat was one of the big, spectacular 1960s American cars with powerful V-8s that combined lots of luxury with extraordinary performance. www.suntimes.com /output/auto/car-news-clas11.html   (862 words)

NSX Prime - 2004 Noble M12 GTO 3R (California Legal) This magazine/site has many other highend cars listed aswell. As a CA-exempt car, the car never has to be smogged again, and just about anything can be done to it legally (ie, removing the cat converters is legal on this car).

2002-2005 Nissan Altima - Automobile Magazine The Altima is the first car built off a brand-new platform that will see other uses in the United States and will spawn products in other parts of the world. All Altimas have four-wheel disc brakes with vented front rotors, but ABS is a stand-alone option that also features brake assist and electronic brake force distribution. The old Altima was too small to be a mainstream competitor to the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, and the Ford Taurus, even if you overlooked its lack of a V-6 engine option. www.automobilemag.com /reviews/sedans/0109_nissan_altima   (729 words)

Electric Vehicles This was the name for the unique streamlined racing car in which the Belgian Camille Jenatzy broke the world land speed record in France, the first car to go faster than 100 kph (62 mph). An electric vehicle did not become a viable option until the Frenchmen Gaston Plante and Camille Faure respectively invented (1865) and improved (1881) the storage battery. The performance of "La Jamais Contente" in 1899 brought the potential of the electric car to the attention of an enthralled world. www.ece.umr.edu /links/power/electric1.htm   (695 words)

Encyclopedia: Plymouth Roadrunner 1970 was a complete redesign of the car to offer an all new updated look for this year only before changing designs to the later 'fuselage' design from 1971 through 1974 when the Roadrunner became just an option package. The car was named Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year for 1969. For 1970, the Road Runner served as the basis for Plymouth's only true supercar, the outrageous and barely street-legal Superbird. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Plymouth-Roadrunner   (489 words)

2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx by Ann Job, Chevrolet midsize sedan, remote starting, - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine For example, the new Malibu is the only auto in the midsize sedan market offered with a factory-option remote vehicle starter, allowing a driver to start the car and, most importantly, the car's heater without climbing inside a frigid interior. This new midsize vehicle, available in four- and five-door models, has pleasing but rather plain styling that would be expected from the popular Japanese family cars such as Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Note that while the Maxx may hold more cargo than a Malibu sedan can because of a wheelbase that's 6 inches longer than that of the sedan the Maxx still is 0.5 inch shorter in length than the sedan, when measuring from front to rear bumper. www.roadandtravel.com /roadtests/reviews/2004roadtests/chevymalibu.htm   (489 words)

Virtua Racing - Sega Saturn Review - Coming Soon Magazine The last option for playing the game is the two player mode where you can race against your friends in a split screen. When approaching vehicles that are ahead of you, it seems as if the computer will try and position the car to be in your way forcing you to move your car to get around them. Virtua Racing for the arcades is now available for home use on the Sega Saturn with the original three race tracks plus many new tracks and vehicles. www.csoon.com /issue13/vr_sat.htm   (1062 words)

Pontiac Tempest Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography The Tempest was Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year for 1961. In its first iteration (1961-63), the Tempest was a compact car with an innovative curved driveshaft and a rear-mounted Corvair-derived transaxle - a combined differential and transmission that makes the weight distribution between front and rear more even. This early Tempest was soon also available with the innovative aluminum Buick-built 215 in³ V8, which was discarded in 1963. www.artisticnudity.com /encyclopedia/Pontiac_Tempest   (501 words)

It is believed FSN will carry at least 100 Brewers games on cable next season and has not decided about the other 15 games it is obligated to carry.

Monthly Bulletin 48 - February 2000 As a unit is the only option (there are no run around loops) the Keith and Dufftown Railway Association contacted The Railcar Association for help in locating a suitable set. Although we all love preserved railway vehicles, steam locos have been giving us a problem with the soot cascading down on to the roof of our 3-car 115, which then settles into the gutters, mixes with the rain water and causes sulphuric acid. 141 BEATS 117 Weardale Railways Limited has bought two of the Class 141 sets from Doncaster, according to the Feb. 2000 edition of the Weardale Railway Trust's magazine Between the Lines. www.railcar.co.uk /bulletin/048.htm   (850 words)

Engine swapping Nissan 240 SX and Nissan Skyline GT-S - Features - Sport Compact Car Magazine With the engine mounted on the crossmember and the car high in the air, it's a simple matter of calling all your friends and neighbors over to shove your 720-pound drivetrain across the floor so you can lift it up into the engine compartment. Finally, if you want the engine to sit low enough to clear the hood bracing, the shifter to sit where it used to, the steering shaft not to hit the downpipe and everything to bolt in properly, there's a third option. Lifting the engine into the car, it's easy to crush countless wires and hoses. www.sportcompactcarweb.com /tech/0309scc_engine_swap_nissan_240sx   (3660 words)

Car and Driver Magazine - Ferrari 575M Maranello - August 2002 The 575M Maranello is an updated version of the 550 Maranello, the six-year-old car we recently favored over the brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish in a comparison test late last year (November 2001). The clutch in the 550 was heavy and the gearchange stiff, and since the 575M uses the same gearbox (it does have increased airflow to the gearbox oil cooler and larger synchros for the first and second gears, but the ratios remain the same), we bet the new car would be similarly tiresome to shift. Ferrari engineers opened up both the intake and exhaust tracks, bumped the compression ratio from 10.8:1 to 11.1:1, and fitted a drive-by-wire throttle — a mandatory addition for the use of the F1 gearbox. www.caranddriver.com /article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=1812   (681 words)

World Magazine - Weekly News Christian Views Interstate kicked off "Charged for Life" with both a $50,000 initial donation and the advertising space on the hood of its company-sponsored racecar at Martinsville—marketing real estate worth $250,000. But Interstate and Care-Net are hoping women and children will finish first as a result of their collaborative fundraising campaign. A small portion of the remaining half of the sale price will benefit Option Line, a national 24-hour call center for women facing crisis pregnancies. www.worldmag.com /subscriber/displayarticle.cfm?id=11220   (699 words)

Muri - Assembly Systems This program offers its residents the option of trading in their fiscal receipts for coupons that can be raffled off for prizes such as cars and televisions. MURI conducted an internal collection of fiscal receipts from its employees in order to benefit the Daycare Center “Anjinhos da Guarda” which is maintained by the Association of Mothers and Fathers of Vila Nova Brasília, a low-income community with few resources close to MURI’s facilities. Muri competed with three other companies, Daimler Chrysler Bank, TDS Automotive, and Edag of Brasil and won the majority of the votes from participants from the 2005 Perspectives Seminar, readers of AutoData magazine, and from the AutoData News Agency. www.muri.com.br /informativo-i.htm   (1076 words)

Car and Driver Magazine - Ford Five Hundred - October 2004 This is a first for a Ford sedan, and on the Five Hundred, it's offered on any trim level as a stand-alone $1700 option. The company has long been aware that the family-car market has moved from traditional wagons to SUVs—indeed, Ford's Explorer is the bestselling sport-ute in the country, and a highly profitable one at that. Ford is also hedging its bet, as the current Taurus will be sold side by side with this new Five Hundred. www.caranddriver.com /article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=8533   (594 words)

Saab 9-2X - European Car Magazine Saab offers a line of dealer-option parts that can be installed on the spot. But since Saab gave us this little gem to do with as we please, my engineering side kicked in and, like all engineers, I have this strange delusion that I can make this car better. There are few electronic aids or buffers to filter the inputs and responses from the car. europeancarweb.com /tech/0502ec_proj92x   (1568 words)

Company Seven Introduction to Selecting a Questar 3-1/2 Astronomical Telescope If a telescope is likely to be moved from a hot car or warm room to a cool environment, or from a cool room to hot night then it is best to specify a mirror material that does not present significant expansion concerns with temperature changes. In September 1965 the first telescopic images of earth were reported in "Newsweek" magazine; these images were taken through a Questar from the Gemini spacecraft, and they were news because this was the beginning of surveillance photography from space. The telescopes are so carefully examined and tested (optics, mechanics, electrical, and cosmetic) at Company Seven prior to delivery to a customer that a failure is not likely to be found. www.company7.com /library/questar/queintro.html   (1568 words)

1984 Pontiac Fiero Inianapolis 500 Pace car I was looking for a GT Fiero when I came across this very rare edition advertised in the local auto trader magazine. Every option available was considered base package including a leather interior package, seats with the Indy logo stitched in, gear shifter knob, door trim, and steering wheel. The aerodynamic front design and rear spoiler were actually prototypes that would be introduced as the Fiero GT model in 1985. www.chevytrucks.org /marvinsgarage/fiero84.html   (318 words)

Dan Gurney Special It's Motor Trend Magazine's "Car of the Year"...with special extras inspired by racing champ Dan Gurney. The Dan Gurney Special was an option package available for the 1967 Standard (body style 91) and XR7 Cougars. There has been much confusion over the years between the Dan Gurney Special, and the XR7-G. These are not the same things; they are two very distinctly different options. www.cougarclub.org /Cougars101/dgs.shtml   (139 words)
