High end does not necessarily imply M3 or similar. Take, for instance, the 540d, which would be a more apt comparison. In the case of that, yes, MPG is more important, and as diesel is about the same price as premium, the comparison is relevant. Fact of the matter is, turbocharged cars run better on premium. Period.…

Except that it is, thanks for playing.

Most high end cars require premium. If the car is tuned to premium, you’ll get more performance and mileage on premium.

I was able to do the plugs on my Legacy without removing the engine. Just requires a lot of u-joints.

Just looking at that picture gives me the fizz.

Long ago. It’s called that because it’s shiny black, like grand pianos.

No, it said the charges were filed against “the engineer in a similar crash” which does not imply that it was the same engineer, but the engineer of a train which had a similar fate.

There are a lot more cars than there are trains, and cars can operate in two axes. This adds a significant amount of complication.

The median family income was over $59k in 2016.

$37k isn’t all that much for a car these days. It’ll get you a base 328, maybe with heated seats. AWD if you push a little.

They replaced the squeaky bushings, and then literally the entire front suspension with new parts, and it still made the knock. Their chassis ears picked it up, they felt it, I took it to an independent mechanic for his opinion, he was able to feel it on the strut towers.

I had a 2012 CPO GT. People who buy these need to watch out for movement or other issues in the front end. My dealership identified the noise and movement on their chassis mics that I can’t remember the name of, but we’re unable to locate the source. Ford engineers were contacted, and informed my dealer that this…

If hating these grilles makes me old at heart, I must be about 150. Or just have good taste. Every time I see another Lexus with that vomit-inducing grille, I wonder what the fuck a high volume automaker like Lexus is doing that they put something so unbelievably ugly and ridiculous on what is supposed to be a luxury…

Right, because a ZL1 1LE is faster around Nurburgring than the GT350R. An SS is not. The comment I was responding to said a “midrange Camaro is faster than a GT350R” which is patently false. A modified SS, maybe, but it would take a lot of modification, and would probably make it cost every bit as much as the GT350R.…

Yep, so why are you comparing it to an SS?

It will get stupid people killed. A decent driver would be able to handle it just fine.

Except...the SS 1LE doesn’t have 530hp. A 650hp GT350R would probably do just as well as the ZL1, but the GT350R doesn’t have 650hp. Your point is moot. We’re talking unmodified cars. If we were going to give the SS that 16% extra power, you would have to give the GT350R the same 16% extra power to make the comparison…

That isn’t anywhere close to true. A ZL1 1LE is faster than the GT350R around Nurburgring, but an SS is most certainly not.

Please. The answer is always Miata:

‘Merica. Look at all that Freedom she’s producing.
