My old man is a bastard. He was, however, a top notch mechanic and car importer in my youth - he used to build the Gartrac 4WD mkIII escorts with the modded 1.9 CVH lump for customers. Two things come to mind. He used to swear by 940/960s, and especially the low compression turbo models as they could take a modified Garrett turbo without fuss, which offered massive delivery for minimal risk. He also had a cherry 73 Camaro, which had a fuel gauge that would start going down if you so much as picked the keys up off of the kitchen table.
