Agreed 100% on that, no turbo vehicle (other than diesels) gets it’s EPA numbers unless it never gets into boost.

True, but that’s an engine in an entirely different class of vehicles that doesn’t have to care about efficiency or emissions the way a tiny hatchback does. People are more willing to pay “gas guzzler” type taxes on a Mustang than they are a Civic.

Very true. There was a guy in a brand new GT3 at a track day last year who was talking about getting 120hp or so per liter out of an NA engine and having a 9k RPM redline with a manual gearbox like it was a groundbreaking achievement. I was there running a nearly 20 year old S2000 and just had to smile and nod in…

Yeah, no argument. Just pointing out that packaging in modern chassis (Supra notwithstanding) is sometimes tough.

Real Corvettes have I6s.

So you just omit the largest offender of the use of this word....because its a argument? 

Just asking this is going to make me “automatically a racist” but why can some people say it without repercussion and some people say it and they get fired?

I am educated and have lived in multiple countries. It is not a garbage take.

Just an old guy’s observation. I hear people of color, any color, using the exact same racial slurs at one another all the time. I hear black people call their friends the n-word all the time. If people of color, any color, want to stop the slurs, they should probably start with themselves.

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…

“The price is terrible but lower it by 25% and get a completely clean inspection and maybe... So NP.”

3rd Gear: I see no problem in continuing to push Japan in reducing trade barriers. Japan will start buying cars again when this is all over too so why not get a few more American made ones over there to sell.

This is part one of the series at Jalopnik.

I’m voting CP because I don’t think the novelty warrants much of a premium over the many, many other 3 row SUVs of this era that you can find just about anywhere. I like it overall, but I couldn’t justify paying anything above $5k.

He’s made quite a few broad, sweeping assumptions about me, without any basis in fact, and then relentlessly attacked me for them.  So progressive. /s

They bought a 10 pack of badges and put one wherever it would fit inside and out. 

I mean no. A thousand times no. But if I’m being honest, they actually did a pretty good job of translating the Gallardo design to the Corvette proportion. It looks like exactly what it is. A Corvette sporting Gallardo design cues. The number of fake Lamborghinis out there that are WORSE than this one is mind bottling.

…

The whole point of a kit car is either to emulate the experience of a much more expensive car at a level more realistic to your own budget or to fool the masses for the benefit of stroking your own ego. This doesn’t look like anything so it accomplishes neither of those objectives.

I liked the sky. Certainly more than the bulbous Pontiac version. I wish it had come with a lid. The fit of that convertible top was always a shame.

Honest to god, who actually LIKES these and who likes them enough to build them? Are the owners out there thinking “man, everyone must think I am such a bad ass and super rich”.
