I saw the WRX Concept at Frankfurt. I must have spent 20 minutes just walking around it, looking from every angle. I was prepared to go home and put my current car up for sale that very night.

And then the production WRX came out. O_o

But you replied to me and I'm not a fan electric steering so I took it personal. ;-)

One of your examples is total911.com, do you really expect a site with that name to have anything but praise for all things Porsche?

They recently found two of the supports had NO earth under them at all, literally just hanging in place. To top it off, a replacement is tied up in legal hell as politicians and environmentalists scwable over tit for tat."

If you manage to fit hydraulic steering to a chassis designed for an electrical rack, you let us all know. Anything is possible, but I have a feeling that this retrofit will be so expensive it will be unrealistic.

Show me where I called Porsche's electric steering "masterful." ;-)

IIRC: Chris Harris said he liked the 911 better with hydraulic steering, but that the programming improvements on the electrical rack on the GT3 got it back to "almost as good" as hydraulic.

The M3 and M4 have the electric steering from the 3/4 on which they're based. The M5 and M6 have the electric steering from the 5/6. The M2 will be no different.

I doubt if it's even possible to [semi-easily] retrofit a hydraulic steering onto the chassis that was designed for electric. .

2 words: electric steering.

I hate BMW's AWD system. All understeer, all the time; numb steering (even before the electric PS took over the lineup); huge turning radius. People seem to love them, but I sure don't.

Because that doesn't cut taxes for the rich.

Thanks for the literal lesson on incorrectly using "literally."
Next you can blast me for correctly using "your" and "you're."

Literally?

I wonder how much labor would be involved? New ECU? And for a wrong-side drive. :-\
It would ruin it's "collector value," but that would just free you up to actually enjoy the car.

Figures that the Swiss Franc would skyrocket right before the Geneva auto show. >_<

You made the correct choice. See the post above about what would be necessary to get this NSX road legal.

The only NSX for sale on AutoTrader.UK is an automatic for £23,000. :-(

Time to start calling my cousins in Kentucky... ;-)

Martini looks great but Gulf is better. My wife and I argue about which is the better livery: she says Martini, I say Gulf. Damn, I love my wife.

I wouldn't buy an Audi A anything, but I'm glad there are parts to help your car handle like you would like it to. I hope your German car dealership is more mod friendly than mine. :-\

Dynamic steering is a necessity? No thanks, I'll look elsewhere.

Things get stupidly heated, an employee threatens to put her foot up the delivery person's ass (an act that would not only make no one happy, but the guy was already out the door), and the jackasses then start yelling about taking the guy's job. Just watch the video there.

"The philosophy will remain rear-wheel drive, even if there is all-wheel drive," he said. "As we increase power and torque, then the M5 and M6 will have large outputs, so we'll look at those solutions [all-wheel drive] with these cars in the future."
