Those widebody wheels were some of the best looking production wheels of all time

The Starion TSI wide body in red was the head turner. Talk about a hot car during its time.

I have to admit, I really believed it was Engrish for Stallion but I love the Arion Origin story way more now. Great vid Chris!!!!

My dad worked with a Japanese scientist who moved over to the US with his family for a few years in the early 1980s. Masato immediately got a Conquest. I remember it had the digital dash. That is one of my earliest car memories, along with Knight Rider and my mom’s ’83 Prelude.

My dad had a Starion when I was a kid. The door chime is so nostalgic

A video on the 1988 Mazda 323 GTX Turbo AWD would be awesome.

The Coventry Climax engine started as a industrial engine used in forklifts and ended up dominating racing for years.

I absolutely love these videos. I remember long ago in my lowly 86 Chevy Sprint with its 48hp this stallion pulled up on me..it revved its mighty forklift engine to let me know it was superior. Appalled I hit the ac button to gather all of my 3 cylinder strength. The light turned I stomped it the tiny Sprints tach quickly went into the red 2nd gear still strong the Starion was right on me we were up to 35mph I snatched it into 3rd and I never saw the station again it flew by and disappeared into the distance as I shifted into 4th
