I've never played Forza but I may have to get one if this really works out.

We must have the Angry Hampster!

It seems a bit too derivative/Frankenstein-y for me. Like the rear of the roofline and the 'hips' makes me think of C3 Corvettes and the round tail lights seem like they are trying too hard to be retro (but, then again, they're just circles so what's wrong with that...) But maybe it's just the color that turns me off…

@hovermike: I approve this skill. I keep daydreaming about the mods I'd like to do to mine but every time I reach in to my pockets to start shelling out the bucks all I come up with is lint.

@Piloter: Time out. Did you say you dynoed your Corolla? Nice. <3 click for that. However, please give more details- What year is it? what inspired you to dyno your Corolla? Had you modded it in any way or just had a buddy in a shop with a dyno and figured WTF?

@Ben Wojdyla: But you have to admit, that is a pretty brilliant work around. I really don't need my neighbors hearing my revving engine and we're probably all happier if they don't.

@TheTonyShow: that was brilliant. I can't promote it but thankfully Layabout did.

Engine building. Not just rings and bearings, the whole enchilada. I used to know this guy, Bill Crosby, who made an entire engine for a client with an old inline 8 that he couldn't get parts for, it may have been a Bugatti but it's been a long time and my memory has faded. Block, crank, everything. Bill could make…

@Syrax: I know empirically the V8 is More, but after falling in love with the glorious sound of various BMW I6's at racetracks I just couldn't get that excited about a V8 in an M3. I'll take this sub-M3, or just an older M3 with a 6, thanks.

@Steve_in_NC: the fact that you were able to read that post, find that image, and post it to jalop in six minutes is just proof of the awesomeness of the interwebz... ahhh Google image search what did we do without you? Unless, of course, that is actually from your personal stash (in spite of the tag at the top).

@#c18544648:

@tinkertank: +1

@brownie has no witty phrase to add: Perfect.

@oddfish: is it April already?

deleted.

@lilwillie: well played.

@SlowMo (now with Rusty the Miata in the family): Oh Crap. Stoke says it doesn't have the signatures from Queen... Crack Pipe.

I'm sorry, I know the by almost all measures it is not a nice price, but as someone who came of age in the 80's I can not resist an IROC Z and big hair bands I could not help but vote Nice Price. And here is a tribute:
