So I'm a Camaro owner, and it annoys me when people say stuff like they don't handle well, or they weren't intended to be a track car, etc. My stock 100%-stock Camaro SS is actually an excellent track car that managed to handily navigate Summit Point's Shenandoah circuit. All day long. No brake fade, no body roll, and

With track driving, they constantly pound into your head the dangers of motion-induced blindness and target fixation, and rightly so. I am thinking there is some of this going on as well.

In addition, I have been screaming for years that our recalcitrant nav/entertainment systems are far worse than cell phone usage. How is one type of distracting screen better or worse than another?

I actually saw an LS stuffed into an RX-8 at Summit Point. Crazy-ass uncontrollable beast.

This is a great strategy - lower expectations, then when the Miata actually comes out with the ho-hum 2.0 SkyActiv they were going to equip it with anyway, we'll actually be impressed.

Hey now, I didn't think my theory actually had to make sense.

I don't know exactly how the dealer system works, but I can imagine that the dealer owner or manager has a friend, lover, or spouse that wants one of these, and this is a convenient way to reserve cars they want. Just a theory. I've seen lots of small-town local dealers in my area put HUGE markups on Boss 302s,

Wow, did that just pull 0-6o in about 5 seconds?

Yeah I have a Camaro and had to scratch my head on that one...otherwise I'm surprised there are no other major issues. It's like it was built in a different country. Oh wait, it was! Canada!

He invented autopilot in order to invent the mile high club. Duh.

One problem: lack of standardization.

Wow, I could be rich!

They can pry my switchblade key from my cold, dead hands. This is now my 2nd Camaro and this has never happened in the 4 years I've owned either — even in very, um, "spirited" driving.

And ambiguous. Back when I owned a Hyundai Scoupe (remember those? I didn't think s0.), I got pulled over for speeding, and my ticket described my vehicle as a "Honda S Coupe".

1st gear: Once Honda brings back a few affordable enthusiast cars, I'll consider them to be in a dominant position and then I will be "wooed". And I don't mean offering an Accord V6 w/MT. How about a next-gen Prelude? Fit Si, anyone? Where is the promised NSX?

Craigslist is indeed full of lowballers. And it doesn't matter what your asking price is, it is rude and disrespectful to offer a seller an amount far below their asking price. I was trying to sell a guitar amp some years back, and listed it for a reasonable asking price of $500 (I bought it used for $600, put new

Yup...the one I got from Dollar Tree (literally cost me $1) turned my '96 Tercel into a car worth keeping (that and the aftermarket audio system I installed).

I was wondering if anyone caught that. What a hoot that would be.

Ford doesn't actually care about your fuel economy or the environment - they care about makin' paper. If they can force you to "upgrade" to a "better" engine in a higher trim level, then they will. Remember the Civic HX? That thing had an awesome VTEC-E I-4, and with manual, you could get 40+ mpg without even trying -
