I never said anything about a hump specifically. I was just commenting that the Z33 roadster was even more horrifically designed. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone over the many years around Z guys say that the Z34 vert was worse until you just now. There’s nothing going on at all with the Z33 rear deck.  It’s just a…

Amazingly, it was even worse on the 350Z roadster.  Bubble butt is underselling it.

Retractable cable attaching to the chin strap or something? When you rent, the cable completely loosens. When the ride is done and you park, it retracts.

But then you know someone will get tangled in the cable and lose a limb and sue.

Hi, mechanical engineering minor and wrencher/tracker here. Now that we have the personal attacks out of the way...

And my question never implied it did.

So do you know why an auto trans would ever get recorded at 7.6? 

I find it interesting how an interior like this appears ancient to people. For older millennials, this is what we grew up driving. And for those that buy used because they can save money and wrench themselves on their own used cars, this is not far off from cars in the late aughts that are still perfectly competent…

Ah, I had never heard of an auto transmission adding 1.5 seconds to a 60mph sprint. I wonder why that’s so much different...

Thanks for the fact check but you were a few hours late :)

Fair enough. I see everything from 6.1 to 7.6. What in the world accounts for such a huge disparity?

Oh, absolutely.  I’m team SC all the way (I was thiiiiiis close to getting one on my Z before marriage happened).  However I think they could get a small enough snail on this thing to keep the lag down and still give it some midrange help. 

The base Camry with perhaps the same I4 as the Corolla (?) also does the jaunt to 60 in 7.6 seconds. The hot XSE? 5.8.

Found the Toyobaru owner!

Seriously though. Wanting a car with sporting pretenses to be more than marginally quicker than a heavier econobox hatch is not “being focused on 0-60 times”.

Please, please put that argument away. It didn’t work 5 years ago, and it won’t work now. These cars are SLOW and if you think I’m…

The 6MT 2019 Corolla is, according to my internet reading, roughly 2900 lbs, 168/151 hp/tq, and 7.5 to 60. The 6MT 2019 86 is roughly 2800, 205/151 hp/tq, and 7.6 to 60.

That’s nice and all, but let me know when it can get to 60 faster than a new Corolla that has 30 less hp and 100 more lbs to lug around.

Again, I think we agree and I think we both know how braking systems work on a track. My only concern was the author made it sound like good tires are the only thing that affects stopping distance, when in fact there are multiple components that do so. But, after re-reading it and his now deleted reply to me, I think…

ugh Kinja.  I forgot I put an “or” statement in my post.  A star for you sir, I think both are true.

Both what?  I think you doth not understand that meme.

The fact that it’s better looking than every one of the bajillion Camaro variants that have come along since its rebirth in 2009 is either a credit to the Dodge design team, or a damning indictment of the guys over at GM.

This is what scares me, too.  I tried the Monster Hunter trial on the Switch when it came out several months ago, but it was my first MH game and seemed very clunky and punishingly difficult on new players.  Is the combat in DD any more fluid and/or intuitive?

As I mentioned to the other commentor who replied, I think you were trying to make a very technically correct statement that tires touch the road and brakes don’t, so tires stop the car. I can’t argue that, the words as you wrote them are true even if they could easily be taken another way.
