You’re hung up on what is/was “cool” Adults don’t care anymore. Being nerdy is cool. You like comics? Action figures? D&D? It’s all part of the same. It’s a fantasy world.

If you were catching massive beasts, ghouls, evil dragons ect the perception would be completely different.

Personally I’m not playing Pokemon GO but…

Adults are not allowed to enjoy themselves in your eyes? That same adult swinging a golf club or playing with their dog in the park would not even make you blink. Because it’s a phone game you’re suddenly against it?

If you’re 32 years old, born in 1984 you would have been 14 when Pokemon Red/Blue was released in the US in September 1998. That’s a very reasonable age to become a fan.

For people born pre ‘84 I agree they they’re unlikely to be into Pokemon.

That’s a far from scientific test. There’s a large number of variables that go into the power output on a specific day. Unless it’s on an engine dyno It’s far from conclusive.

$140 air filter and $50 oil filter. You better be good at cross referencing.

Why can’t people young or old enjoy a game?

“Chance to feel the shift points??!!??”

Much of the equipment is designed and built by the same people.

I get the first part. You’re explaining the second in the most obtuse way possible.

Current economic conditions do not allow most families to have a second non essential vehicle. Period.

15 words, not paragraphs.

You think manufactures make them purposefully expensive? (911 excluded)

That’s what it costs to build a low volume car, the margins are small even on the sport coupes you listed.

You’re asking for something that simply can’t exist at that price with modern day safety and performance figures.

The Delsol was cheap because…

All hail Judge Dredd!

I’m surprised Aston Martin is letting them sell it already. Maybe they don’t have the crazy ownership clauses like the Ferrari folks.

The average price for a car is 32k, your price range is way off. That simply means that a new car is not in your budget, it’s not in the budget for most Americans, they simply live on credit and make it work.

If you want cheap fun buy a Fiesta 1 liter (manual only) for $14.500 and throw the ST suspension and a set of…

Because the Atom is clearly a long distance GT car where high speed range is super important.

Nope, it is made in Trenton MI on the old side of plant. I’ve been there and seen them putting them together (my parts go in there).

It’s a small difference at best in economy, but we’d see maybe a 1 mpg difference between them. I don’t know if the axle ratios were the exact same either. The SRW however is much easier to drive around town and it’s easier to hop up on the wheel to grab something quick from the bed.

Yep. They’re great. You don’t have the economy hit and the GVRW change is usually small. They’re the best option if you’re going to drive it, and not haul massive loads every day.

I would be astonished if the motor did not last 100k, especially on the street. If you wanted one I’d not hesitate, the rebuild/replacement costs will not be that extreme. It’s not like a high strung BMW V8 where parts are ridiculously expensive.

I think the strong aftermarket will make the engine viable to the…

That’s simply not possible. The physics don’t work that way. It’s especially difficult on an engine that large.

The mass dampers are designed to cancel vibration in specific frequency and displacement ranges. They did a good job with what they had, I’m not knocking the Ford team at all. It’s simply not the correct…

That’s all I can really say. Learn a bit about the differences in a purpose build flat plane V8 like a Ferrari and an a normal V8 adapted to run a flat plane crank and you’ll soon see the inherent problems.

The motor shakes so badly there are 20 lbs of tuned mass dampers on the transmission to try and keep it from…
