This guy gets it :)

I love how everyone in these comments is talking about how awesome that looks, and how much fun it seems, and how badass he is...

People will find all manner of reason to hate on this device, but I think we should just appreciate that it exists. It’s kind of like a concept device that you can actually buy. Certainly not for everyone, or even most folks, but I’m sure some people will love it. I’m just happy to see some odd, quirky “technology…

Indeed. The catback on my BRZ all but disappears when cruising at any speed. Well worth the price tag!

People will certainly find reason to bitch and complain about this, but I think anyone with a brain can come up with all sorts of scenarios when a quiet exhaust makes perfect sense. For example, trying to sneak out to get breakfast for the significant other on a Saturday morning.

I don't blame him. Leather seats suck.

Heh. Yeah. I chose this way back in the AIM days, and it never seems to be taken on any websites, so I’ve stuck with it ever since to make things easier, lol.

I didn’t say they wouldn’t be cross-shopped. I said that they are not direct competitors. I test cross-shopped a Mustang too when I was looking at a BRZ. But that’s because I fell squarely into the category I mentioned of “not knowing what I wanted.” Once I test drove both, it was blatantly obvious to me that I wanted…

Just because it’s priced the same doesn’t mean it is a direct competitor. A V6 Mustang is priced the same as a Subaru BRZ, but they are only direct competitors to people who have no idea what they want. In every other way, they are very different vehicles that cater to very different crowds. If they tried to compete…

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. The whole fucking point of the Toyota Supra was something that wouldn’t suffer from the ONE complaint everyone has against the Toyota 86.

Toyota hasn’t even unveiled their version yet, and already we have to put up with assholes complaining that this car doesn’t have enough power either?

Fuck…

Pretty much, lol.

I am sure. Firstly, even if that were the law, that doesn’t mean you can just leave the scene of an accident you were involved in, lol. That’s a good way to get fired in the transit industry.

EDIT: Ah you aren't the OP. My bad.

We will just have to agree to disagree on how much actually know about this subject. You literally started your comment with “Would love to hear from a truck driver on this one," but it sounds like you actually don't want that input...

HP has nothing to do with it. Torque has everything to do with it. That truck has a LOT more pushing/pulling power than that Mercedes does. Once the tires break traction, they aren’t offering all that much resistance.

All that likely happened in this case is that the Benz was pitted by the truck. If that were the case,…

I bet he dropped a Deuce-and-a-Half when it started bouncing him all over the cabin.

Your first two points really don’t apply when the two vehicles are so different in size/mass/power.

I work in transit. Fun fact: It isn’t uncommon as you’d think for someone to rear-end a transit bus hard enough to more or less total their car - or at least crunch the front end up badly enough to require a tow... and for the bus driver to continue on their route none-the-wiser. When a 3,000 lb car strikes a 42,000…
