I think we're overdue for a Google maps ship graveyard roundup!

I wish he had given some impressions of the wrx with the nannies/assists turned on. The point of brake vectoring is not to save your ass, but to help the car rotate. If they do their job, it seems like disabling them leaves you without the full experience.

Interesting, haven't driven one so genuinely curious.

Wait...the 2.0 TFSI feels flat and anemic in the golf R?

Damn. i'm loving that new nose design.

You mean for the FA20? There's several, vortec, innovate....and there's different types of superchargers as well. The FA20 units are Centrifugal type superchargers, not roots/blower type like you're used to seeing on larger motors.

I didn't say anything about a new car. :) And the aftermarket is irrelevant in this context i think, lots of "older models" of newer cars could be faster than their successor with only ECU work.

It's gained what, like 60hp since it's release? I see what you're saying but it's a considerably better car than it was at release, which you can't say about most vehicle lifecycles.

He sure likes Sergio!

I don't know. It exists, but i don't know it yet.

there's no indication that DI was added.

The dakar article makes reference to his water supply, which leads me to believe there was not an accident involved. http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2014/us/…

NASIOC Off Topic is huge. Who knows what kind of peanut fetishes are going on in there.

Google disagrees:

just curious...anyone know what shoes jerry is wearing? They appear to be gulf oil themed nikes, but googling doesn't seem to find anything like that.

maybe it has an open front diff? If you watch videos of gallardo donuts it does the same thing.

I'm surprised by the lack of Audi/VAG influence here. I expected this thing to be packing a twin turbo V8 and a VAG transmission.

or LeFerrariLaF1LaCar.

Then i'll just bring my tank and my snowmobile.

I've finally found a practical application for my literally HOURS of playing Hill Climb Racing.
