Seems to be missing the vents on the rear quarter-panel that cool the transaxle.

I hope it will be available in green.

Must be. It's crazy, you would think with things like direct injection and the quality of variable valve timing systems, we would be getting 215hp+ from a 1.8. Hell you got 200 out of a type R back in the 1990's!!!!!

Wow, that is a big 4 cylinder engine. The old Integra GSR had 1.8 liters. Amazing how little, small NA motors have advanced.

If they could get the weight down it would be a swinging little package. I remember how much fun 170hp was in my old Integra GSR. Then again that thing weighed under 2800lbs. How many liters is the Dart engine?

So a $32,000+ dart? Would be a tough sell.

At least the Grambling band and dance squad is great.

Surprised you all actually mentioned the Mazdaspeed3. It seems like ever since the Focus ST came out, everyone has forgotten about the MS3 and just acted as though the GTi and the Focus were the only hot hatches/small cars, out there.

Rather have them chopped up than just rusted away.

Never mind. This helpful video helped to answer all of my questions. Sounds like something I can get behind.

What about the compromised handling and balance due to the heavier block necessary? Also isn't the power band and rev range relatively limited?

Sorry to sound stupid, but what is with the love affair with diesel cars? I know they have improved over the last decade or so, but what is wrong with regular old gas motors?

Damn, I guess I will be that guy and go for the Viper.

How much do ya bench?

Throw it back!

About as dumb as that chick who got Senna tattooed on her knuckles after seeing the Senna documentary.

Strong or Gundy would be great hires. Despite what all of the shitheads on Vol's forums say.

I think we should just disband the football team if it comes to that.
