Up for auction is 1999 Jaguar VandenPlas. Everything works just fine on the car, and the car has no warnings or check engine lights active. The engine and transmission were both changed two years ago with ones which had around 70k miles on them - so now they have seen around 80k-85k miles.The tires are realtively new and have less than 10k miles on them. The car has a current inspection sticker good until January 14. The interior is fine, but the driver seat is a little worn. I have the leather refacing material - but it is now too cold out to apply the material correctly. I have had to reface the drivers seat every year since I owned the car. The front drivers side wheel bearing shakes a little when the car goes around 70 MPH, and the steering rack seal on the right side leaked a little (I put some Lucas "power steering stop leak" and that seems to be fine. The hood center and trunk hood center had the clear coat cracking. I sprayed some paint and some clearcoat over those areas. Someone could probably do a better job thanI did. The car will NOT pass a mass inspection because of some rust connecting the floor pans to the rocker frame. It is a common problem with these cars, and the rust is localized in these areas. |

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
