What's in our Car Town garage today? (February 9, 2014)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

1999 Nissan Silvia

The S13 Silvia had the slogan of "ART FORCE SILVIA". The Zenki S14 Silvia beared the "EYE HUNT SILVIA" slogan. The Kouki S14 Silvia's was "READY GO, FR", but for the final, 7th-generation, Silvia, it bears the "SPORTS SILVIA" slogan.

1970 AMC Javelin SST Trans Am

The Javelin is American Motors' entry to the muscle car segment dominated by Chargers, Camaros, and Mustangs. While the Javelin hadn't found any mass audience for this muscle car, American Motors entered the Javelin to the Trans-Am with surprise results. With 10 top-five finishes on the podium and winning the manufacturer's championship against General Motors in 1968 and 1969, Roger Penske and Mark Donohue took over the company's Trans Am program for 1970 and the result was the limited-to-100 special edition models.

1980 Renault 5 Turbo Rally Edition

Known as the 5 Maxi Turbo, this French entry to WRC since its 1980 debut found its advantage on the tarmac events because the added bulk in the back sees a huge problem at the unpaved sections of the race. When the WRC's Group B began in 1985, they made the Group B-spec 5 Maxi Turbo and the engine that powers it develops 350HP.
