Stock airbox? My k20 type s wailed like a banshee with an aftermarket intake.

What sick lunatic wants to drive a car that’s had dead people in it though? If I bought a hearse my folks would think I’d lost my mind.

I think this would be an appropriate time for the word “duh”.

As a black man I’ll admit that The Root is complete nonsense.... Always liked the content of jalopnik though, it’s not hate it’s education, ever since Trump was elected, real hate (crimes against minorities and Muslims) has risen dramatically, but you won’t hear that on Fox news.

Then there’s the third group... The people laughing at plebeians like us complaining about the price of options on cars we can’t even afford.

I said “nobody say anything about buying one for fuel economy”, I simply stated the mpg, never said that would be a determining factor in purchasing one. As for the ICE mileage of the 918, I mixed up the combined mpg with city, combined the viper is around the same. But let’s say you drive 12 miles to and from work,…

Let me guess... Fox news told you that?

The viper gets 12mpg, not even close... And nobody say anything about buying one for fuel economy, hyper cars are supposed to be a showcase of technology, if you want a solely ICE sports car there’s plenty of choices.

That’s not what’s you said though... “Ugh. Huge rear wing on FWD car. Ugh.” Nothing in there about a splitter.

Still 10 miles more per gallon than a z06.

Robb Hollands fwd Pikes Peak record setting tt... Drive wheels have nothing to do with downforce.  

The 918 for example gets 67mpg combined, that’s better than a pruis, and it puts out 887hp... Can the ls7 do that?

When I was a teenager I thought stance was kinda cool.... I’m in my twenties now and can’t fathom why someone would modify their car in a manner that actually degrades performance. It’s even more appalling when I see this done to exotics, hopefully this fad passes but I won’t be holding my breath.

They both anger me... Just in different ways. The liberty mutual “torque ratios” commercial also rubs me the wrong way.

Not really... Carbon ceramic brakes on the camaro are a direct result of “trickle down” tech, same goes with the significant use of carbon fiber on the i3, the first mass produced car of its kind. And it really doesn’t matter that they didn’t “debut” on that vehicle, the point is that they are making their way down…

I just couldn’t get past those blind spots, I’m 6'4 and had problems, I found myself thinking “how would a shorter person even see at all”? It sketched me out to make simple lane changes (I have a lot of track experience and usually feel very confident with anything I’m doing on the road), I kept thinking I was gonna…

Cargo space and an extra cog don’t make up for it’s many shortcomings, and its atrocious rear visibility is very unsafe. The sonic is a gimmicky, mediocre, half assed attempt of a car and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody, this is coming from someone who put over 1000 miles on one.

You obviously don’t know the history of super/hyper cars because it’s been like that forever... All four of the cars you mentioned, (especially the f1 and Enzo) are a result of “trickle down” technology. The carbon fiber body, electrohydraulic transmission, and carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic composite…

Exactly.... You’re a moron for hating a specific model because of a freak accident. A drunk driver driver took out my rsx type s back in the day, didn’t effect how I felt about the car, it effected how I felt about drunk drivers. They should be weary of buying modified cars and deers, not the car itself.

My expectations weren’t really all that high though... I kept thinking to myself “did anybody test drive this thing before it was released”?. You’d have to be out of your mind to buy one over the Fiesta or Fit.
