We will have to agree to disagree. I know plenty of people who would disagree with a lot of what you just said. My current vehicle is a great example. The stock tires (215 section width) were hydroplaning champions at even moderate speeds, and had very little wet weather grip overall. My replacements, despite being…

It has nothing to do with track driving. Good tires also significantly improve wet weather grip, hydroplaning resistance, stopping distance, accident avoidance ability. Arguably, the street requires a better tier of tire than the track does.

Physical Mod: Tires. Anyone who says otherwise is a lying sumbitch, or did the wrong first modification.

Overall Mod: Driver mod. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know that they suck at driving.

I had 55,000 miles on my completely unprotected black plastic lip on my lowered BRZ (before I smashed it on a snow bank.) It looked fine. Black plastic is not paint. It doesn’t wind up with unsightly chipped off paint that shows underlying metal or plastic. It just wears. The plastic is black. Chips are black. You’d…

You're thinking of the Civic Type R, not the Chiron. The Chiron is much more elegant on the outside.

No, and it wasn’t supposed to be faster than a standard BRZ. The version I bought was the Series.Blue, which came with a lovely interior (blue leather and Alcantara, and blue stitching) to match the exterior, along with some other features, and a full STI exterior kit (front lip, skirts, spats, and black STI wheels…

Whoa. You’ve stumbled upon something mind-blowing. It’s almost as if this car wasn’t targeting the demographic of people who need more horsepower to ENJOY a car! *GASP!*

A vape store just opened across the street from where I live. From Day 1, there is only one vehicle that is consistently parked outside of it (clearly the owner/manager/whatever), and it is a black WRX, lol.

FWIW, I get 34 highway at 78 MPH in my BRZ... which is rated at 30 highway... and that rating is probably at a much more fuel-efficient 55 MPH. So... yeah, I’m getting significantly better mileage than what it says on the sticker. And that’s on not perfectly flat highway, with occasionally angry acceleration when…

Don’t think they can’t be had at discounted prices. Nobody pays MSRP for these things. Back in 2015, the BRZ Series.Blue was the coveted special edition, with an MSRP of $30,000. I asked if the dealer would take $27,350, and they agreed without any hesitation. My friend got his Series.Blue for $27,500.

I bought a special version of this car. It’s a blast!

Holy shit. You are a complete nutjob... or a master troll...

My castle is at Level 9!

Guys, his name is MOTO Miwa, not MOTOR Miwa, lol.

The “one pedal” method doesn’t retrain you to not use the brake pedal. The brake pedal still needs to be used for harder stops. It’s definitely not something you will “unlearn” just because you don’t have to use it quite so often.

Regenerative braking systems will illuminate your brake lights once you brake beyond a certain amount, so that isn’t an issue in this case.

I think a lot of people are making arguments against this system using their experience with other types of systems... when in reality they should be praising the adoption of this…

Even if he was referring to the safety aspect, that’s completely irrelevant in this scenario. So still not a valid counter-argument, lol.

It is of course different in how it operates, but the concept (lifting off on the gas pedal to drag the car down from speed) is the same. In practice, it functions BETTER than engine braking, because you can slow the vehicle down even more. It takes some getting used to, as with any new vehicle you drive, but once you…

For noise reasons. So not relevant to electric cars.
