The entire show is a fail. You should read my comment in the top gear thread.

No kidding! We bought an 87 TC that they started to use as a Fire Dept demo. It had the most perfect raven interior I have ever seen. Well, until the Jaws of Life ripped off the drivers door panel and corner of the perfect uncracked dash. Sigh.

Yeah, you can't neutral bomb a A4LD and expect it to ever work again. If the idiot would've got a 5 speed, things would've been a lot different.

 


I used to do it to my '87 all the time.

You got lucky it would seem. But I bet the TC in the show had a shiznit ton of miles on it, so chances are it was on its way out anyways.

Yeah, my car was an anomaly.  I got it at a state auction, the only stock body panels were the quarters and every panel was a different color.  It ran great though and I never had to do anything to it, so it was a perfect first car.  Being a typical dumb teenager, I beat the hell out of it never realizing it's potential.

I used to do the same thing to mine. I got my tbird with 220K-ish on it when I was 16, and I used to neutral drop that shiznit all of the time.. I'm 99% sure it was the stock transmission, which it still has. I guess I was lucky my parents had taken such good care of it, but I obviously didn't appreciate that at the time. Ah, I was a dummy...

I think everyone beats on their first car, regardless of what it is. My T-Bird was my first car, and when it was a v6 I used to beat the bajeezis out of it. My foot was always to the floor, but an 88 v6 never gets out of its own way, so all I really did is waste a lot of gas and expedite my head gaskets blowing, althought I did win a race against my friends 5cyl volvo s90(or something like that).  I never neutral dropped it, but don't feel bad, we all did it.

What have you done to yours, I'm genuinely curious. But let me rephrase, my 1988 3.8l v6 would not get out of it's own way.
