But will it be able to beat a new 911 GT3 (not even the RS) around the nurburgring this time like the original completely failed to do? At 10 times the price?

Mitsubishi didn’t have any parts for them even 15-20 years ago. And there is zero aftermarket seeing as people don’t really know they exist for the most part and there were only 2500 made. The only way to get OE parts is to get them off a wrecked one.

It’s sad that these have gone up in price so much since they became legal to import into the US. They’re in the price range now where they’ll start becoming collectors items rather than things to be driven. But, parts availability is so bad on these they’d be hard to keep on the road when driven hard anyways.

The rally cars used the tiptronic auto box as far as I have heard and researched. The manuals were quite fragile

Little did they know, 30 years later those wagovan awd parts would be in high demand to swap into 500+ hp Hondas for drag racing...

This is what I was curious about - what’s the performance impact of the simulated manual thing. I think it’s super cool that they did that, I’m sure it makes it a much more enjoyable driving experience. It’s just too bad that you can’t use launch control and the extra torque boost in the manual mode. I don’t really…

I was curious so I checked pricing.

Isn’t progress great? For substantially more money than the old Hellcat, you can now get an EV Scat Pack with less horsepower and more weight! Hooray!

Too bad they didn’t give it the new GR Yaris interior too. I know it’s been somewhat divisive, but I love it. Very retro and driver-centric. Much better than the ‘ipad glued to the dashboard’ look.

Meh. The fender flares were what made the concept truck have the cool stance everyone loved. Without those this just looks like a Maverick with some wheels.

I wonder if manufacturers would rather reduce the weight of their vehicle by 800lbs, or double the range of it....

Hoo boy that’s a lot of understeer. Even the best hoons with the best machinery can’t always fight the physics of the engine being way out in front of the axle I guess.

I think giving Biden much of the credit for the changes under his tenure is being overly generous, but at least he knows to sit back, listen to his advisors, and sign things that result in those benefits.

The problem as I see it is that Biden is anything but compelling. A very old, generic politician guy who mumbles…

I always wished in the back of my head that Ford would bring back the Capri name for a small rwd GR86 fighter using the mustang ecoboost platform. The ecoboost mustang is fine, but you’d always feel like you settled for it over the V8, where a little bit of a smaller, lighter car on the same platform with its own…

Not 100% sure if serious, but I like physics conjecture so I’ll give a serious answer

It doesn’t. There are other sections in the linked laws for if the parents are out of wedlock where the baby can still have citizenship, there’s just more requirements about how long they lived in the US for.

I had a 1990 ZR-1 for a while. That engine was a beautiful thing. Sounded great, loved to rev, and with some minor mods that car handled fantastically. It had a ton of advanced tech for the time, aside from the motor, like electronic adaptive shocks, and it also had a ‘power key’ like a hellcat that activated the…

I basically looked for the vehicle that was:
<$10k Canadian
AWD
Naturally aspirated, with a >4 cylinder engine with over 200hp
Reasonably nice inside and comfy for long trips
Able to easily haul 4 tires

Ended up with a 3.2 VR6 Audi A3 Quatto. It has since been on gravel rally roads, long road trips, a couple Canadian…

Just make sure you aim your rearview mirror down so that you can see it, rather than any sort of pesky rearward visibility!

The Yaris weighs almost 500lbs less, which is huge. The big differentiator over the WRX/Golf R/etc was the weight, the GR Corolla is a much more level playing field with those cars and it stops being as appealing.

Also the Yaris looks way cooler being a stubby little 2 door, and it has the deeper connection to WRC car.…
