There's an aftermarket setup for my VW GTI that produces 443hp/422ft-lbs on pump gas. That's a 2-litre turbo, and is daily drive-able. I'm sure the boffins at Porsche can eke something similar out of a flat four.

I can't see the video, but...

The studded Hakkapeliittas on my GTI are more than up to the task of dealing with winter in New England, though if someone left a Golf R on my doorstep I wouldn't complain.

I just cancelled my preorder for the Xbone and Forza 5. No Suzuka and no 'Ring = no sale. I'll revisit this if and when they add them as DLC.

I have to ask: is the clock actually an automatic movement, or did IWC just slap its name on a quartz movement for MB to charge $7000 extra for the privilege?

If the speed limit on that road is 60mph, I'm moving there immediately. In my neck of the woods that would be 30, maybe 35.

She might also want to have her thyroid checked out.

I'm at my brother's apartment in Holyoke right now. Part of me wants to find this yahoo and lowball him at 4k for this thing.

No love for Genesee?!

Wait, did you say open-wheeled cars? Does that mean we're going to see Atoms, Caterhams, X-Bows, and Caparos? Holy guacamole...I'm legitimately excited about this proposition.

APR, Unitronic, Revo, etc. can all get 300hp and 340+ ft-lb of torque out of this motor without touching internals. I want this car.

Using common parlance, upshifting is considered 'grabbing' a gear, which implies pulling it toward oneself, not pushing it away. 

I'm as fiscally conservative as they come, but even I've been arguing for years that this is what the government should be spending money on. A fast, efficient train system—especially along the eastern corridor—would open up job opportunities previously unavailable to those who live outside a reasonable commuting…

Exactly! That E38 735i was far and away the best of Frank Martin's means of transport.

Wow, I remember when they were $5800 retail, but sold for around $8k on the second-hand market. Should have picked one up a decade ago. Oh well — I like my Panerai just fine.

Maybe the Brits are learning from the Downton Abbey debacle (though this is a BBC production, not ITV).

Wow, this looks like a 300ZX that's been Fauxrrari'd...poorly

Follow these instructions carefully.

Perfect timing for this article. I went snowmobiling for the first time this past weekend and haven't stopped talking about it. The sleds were older Polaris 500cc machines, but we did some drag racing in open fields and got them up to around 70mph. What an incredible experience. Ready to move to a place where they are…
