BRZ was driving in the right, Camry shouldn’t have been travelling in the left.

As someone who manufacturers vehicles for a living - just know that you are likely creating a death trap if you are ever in a major accident. We need to follow FMVSS regulations carefully and your car was crash tested with specific seat anchoring and components. If the seats are not an exact match the airbag, SRS…

Porsche is the only company in that group still offering cars with a manual transmission. I’d still pick a base 911 or a Boxter over something with flappy-paddles, because I’m old and grumpy.

But it doesn’t sound just as good...

MRW I hear there’s going to be a mid-engined corvette but no manual option

You’re essentially getting a brand new, hand-built car and a piece of American motoring heritage at the same time with one of these. The closest analogy I can think of here in Europe is our very own Morgan Plus 8 and, whilst a nice car, that thing doesn’t even remotely compare to the Cobra. Perhaps a Singer is closer…

I personally like a good car with correctable faults and some compromises. I’ll take my 2002 Mustang GT for example. The rear end is shit, it has a stock sound system in the trunk that intentionally wastes space, and the power is comically low. But it’s a rwd V8, it’s gorgeous (despite the fake air scoops), and…

This was a test I did when buying my car. If I couldn’t rest my arm on the window, the car was out. I ended up with a Subaru Outback that is very arm friendly.

The high beltlines have more to do with pedestrian crash standards requiring a certain amount of cushion between the hood and top of the motor. Add the fact that modern DOHC motors are taller than motors of yore, and you now have to raise the hood that much higher. A car would look awkward if it had a high hood line…

Use ALT+248 for the degree sign (30°)

Michael Ballaban’s Guided Tour of New Jersey:

I love how tiny the Subaru 360 van looks in comparison to the Justy.

Thanks for writing this. I’m an aerodynamicist at one of the Big 3 (Big 2.5 these days) and I always love seeing our craft get exposure!

These are the same people we drive with every single day. Scary ain’t it.

This is a $90,000 car, new. Why in the world should it have as much sex appeal as a Ferrari or Aston Martin? It certainly has at least as much as a 911 or Z06

Having owned a 2006 Exige for 8years, I can attest that it was the most exciting, interesting and thrilling car I have ever owned. Had it not met its end due to an accident, I would still be driving it instead of the 911 that I do now.

I race my car. I promise you that you don’t notice the upgrade until you get on a track. OEM pads are plenty if you are observing the law on the street. Tires are significantly more important.

You know what gets old? People who complain that Lotus needs to develop a new car, because hey, its been a whopping 5 years since an entirely new vehicle for them came out, while constantly praising the squished beetle that is the decades old 911. My 2011 Evora has more soul and is more satisfying to drive than pretty…

not really sure why you’re singing songs of their demise when they’ve sold more cars than they ever have this year. Further, they’ve comprehensively addressed everything wrong (that they possibly could) with the Evora.

a. easier ingress/egress. the sills are much lowered, and stiffness hasn’t been effected
