I feel this article is lacking a bit of detail about this thing. I’d love to know specific powertrain modifications and more importantly the suspension differences that we can see a sneak peak of in a few of those pictures.

Now can we get Toyota to shoehorn this drivetrain into a Corolla hatch??? That would be quite epic.

??

Is there onboard of the run? I know how the drivetrain works, but havent seen much in the way of seeing or hearing it at full tilt.

Waiting for this headline:

My only takeaway from this is you think “way before” is 2015...

Fantastic package for a modern car, but to me it’s not quite perfection. Perfection would be this general setup in something the size and weight of an older foxbody.

I’m almost more intrigued about what Honda did to the front bumper/fake grillery.

To be frank I didnt make it through the whole article, but when I read there could be risks involved in not seeking authorized repair I expected to see more than that. If you dont want to deal with Apple’s bullshit, dont buy their phones. Seems simple to me (and I have only owned iPhones for the last decade).

They should buy it anyway just to prove a point. As you stated, this is 2019. Not 1965.

I’d be willing to bet the RAV4 hybrid could still give you a run for your money, and is vastly more economical when you’re not so concerned about stoplight racing a small CUV.

Why would it be transverse? Swap the trans for the torque tube and Transaxle from a C7, and Bob’s your uncle. FWD would be kinda funny though.

Is it worth it over the (IMO) sexier curves and proportions of the Spyder?

I thought those metrics were to show a car’s capability, not how well a professional driver could drive it. While lap times can show how fast a car is under the control of a given driver, they are relatively meaningless to the average consumer. More basic measurements, I feel, are more pertinent because for the most…

I’m not sure. With automatic transmissions and launch control anyone can go out and run the types of acceleration numbers that are stated by an OEM. Stopping distances, same. Now lateral g’s are a little less accessible to most, but still I think more pertinent to a prospective owner than a hotshoe running around a…

Honestly, it’s probably just an engineer who built his dream Camaro and wanted to give it a shakedown on the proving grounds. *Grabs a couple of manufacturer plates, steals a sticker and goes to see if he could make it any better than GM could in the 80's. 

I guess if you’re a masochist. I’d much prefer an S-Class or Range Rover Long wheelbase for the additional head, leg and shoulder room.

Agreed. Or even do something akin to what Bentley does in the Conti GT.

Why not get a 5-Series, X5, or 3-row vehicle then? Do you not value your occupant’s comfort?
