I drove up to the mountains 5 hours after some snow, had a RWD Subie. Slap on some really good winters and you’re good.

No no, we’re talking about:

In Europe Hyundai hot rodded their hatchback. They said it’s not coming here because lack of demand.

Not the new WRX though. Doesn’t scream anything odd looking at all.

I just just gonna be snobby for one bit, bear with me. The 86 is Subaru made, Very few Toyota parts actually in it. The Toyota badges on it are actually made by Subaru.

They separated the Impreza/ WRX line. WRX is it’s own thing now.

There’s a guideline or extra bit of information but I don’t think they’re perfect. I remember the FRS and BRZ getting different ratings. Subie Above and FRS under. They’re the same but rated differently.

If you want a real answer, the 86 targa concept did not have the rigidity needed and too much weight would have to be added. I remember either an engg or one of the Toyota heads said this. For this platform, as even this HV concept, it most liekyl will not be targa.

Realistically, it’d be a better car without the rotary but not a more desirable one. But then it’d be the more desirable one due to reliability though.

To put it in perspective for others, L is to Light as Joker is to Batman. Take that out and there is no movie.

Apparently for this specific case, the LS was actually cheaper than the original engine they had in. So minus the hood bulge and some other minor stuff, the engine bay didn’t have to change, they basically hot rodded in the LS and Tremec straight into it and made more money than selling the base models. I remember…

Did the group or person that gave the order to the engineer get a charge or verdict?

Not that’s he’s not guilty but financial, business and corporate pressure were most likely present. Corporate kind of determines if certain families eat.

The XV manual is a 5 speed. I don’t think you’ll like it either.

Check activity monitor and see if your computer ever uses swap, if it ever uses swap, you need more ram. (In RAM tab) Mac uses quite a bit of it.

I run 17s with 45 sidewall, not runflat. I wouldn’t say it’s a crazy small sidewall but not normal I guess.

I run KW coilovers, I know, I know, it’s completely self inflicted.

It’s hard to engineer with all the compromises at that speed. The tire still has to be made of rubber, hold air, deform and dissipate water. They could easily make a metal tire but spines would shatter over speed bumps.

Most likely it would kill a passenger if a roadcar had metal wheels. I know my spine would instantly shatter after hitting a pothole.

Proud of the dude. Everyone gave me so much trouble since I DD a sports car and it snows hard where I live. Never got stuck, as long as your clearance is higher than the snow, go drive/drifting. It was a mild winter but a normal winter I’d probably only have to public transit maybe twice?
