Jalopnik quality is slipping; y’all seem keen on limiting the information being provided about buying a “glorious rear wheel drive”. Sure, we may all have differential tastes, but you are on LSD if you’re promoting these cars as “glorious rear wheel drive” cars when they don’t come with any LSD. It should be a rainy…

“And boy was that rewarding. It’s stiff, yet it remains smooth. Agile, yet compliant. On the slippery stuff, with all traction systems turned off (and yes, they can be fully disengaged), this IS will wiggle its tail graciously, but never so much to scare you. That’s the beauty of having a four-cylinder under the…
I’m in the Caribbean and they can even be had here easily to answer your question; aftermarket support is worldwide too. Their reputation for reliability under heavy boost with stock internals is almost unprecedented. There’s a reason why both professional drift communities and Scandinavian builders revere that engine…
Interesting parallels as someone who’s driven a Dodge Ram a few times but has been around these kind of pick-ups all their life (non-American ones). I am going to try my best not to sound like a cunt is usually a phrase muttered by someone who is going to end up sounding like a cunt, so here goes; a comment, by a…
Petter Solberg hands-down!!!
WOAH!!!! This is like my spirit article or something.
I don’t understand? You give respect to the Skyline R32/33/34 GT-Rs yet claim the claim the Nissan GT-R isn’t legendary because it’s got no racing pedigree. You of all who seem to know those previous cars’ histories should remember that unlike the Porsche 911s that continually evolved through its participation in…
Came here to say this. Now I don’t want to say this :(
Awesome. Unfotunately I’m just on the outside looking in (not in the U.S.A) so I don’t get to see the crowds themselves so I didn’t get that change. Thanks for the explanation.
I could agree with that criticism and I apologize for any unintended offenses with regards to the term.
Do you see me knocking on the challenge of ovals bro? Add the cars themselves to the equation (high horses, no aids, aero-yes but heavily regulated to ensure drivers still need skill, and plus them hours behind the wheels) and its damn challenging.
Bruhhh?
“I have only hate for watching NASCAR. But I do respect it (the “road courses” can sometimes be exciting; also no aids and plenty power on live axles).”
I have only hate for watching NASCAR. But I do respect it (the “road courses” can sometimes be exciting; also no aids and plenty power on live axles). But this just insulting. A NASCAR driver already involved in motorsports going into off road truck racing? Aren’t both stereotypically country* anyways? How is it a…
That’s no V6; there’s no wail/scream/tone. Unless Ferrari’s playing with a 4 cylinder, that could very well be a muted by turbo flatplane V8.
Well there’s the Nissan NP300 which is basically the old Fronteir (before it became known as the Navara) but the best has be the X-Trail’s rebranding.
Toyota GT86 AKA Subaru BRZ. We don’t care how much you want ‘em. No broad tires or turbos for you fools who don’t know how to drive sideways with a smile on your face!
Now playing
This Thailand Pick-Up Truck Racing series that uses not too modified production pick-ups; plenty of them are diesel, the Navara here is running its stock block though I’d guess that the boost is turned up, manual transmissions, and stock suspension set ups. WHAT IS THIS SERIES?!
