Anyone know what kind of bump a stage 1 tune adds to its hp/torque figures?

Is this a ‘shop? An aftermarket conversion? The proportions look...off, somehow.

Just for giggles? We DO know that you have a masochistic desire to be punished by faulty mechanicals.

Good to know, since I actually just got a 2018 M3 w/ comp package. And live in Texas with 93.

Can someone explain the different ratings with higher octane? I know that higher octane =\= “moar powah” and has more to do with eliminating knocking, but then why does it get higher power outputs with higher octane gas?

Pleasing herringbone pattern, though.

Argh, ditto my feelings on the new Corvette... I usually don’t care that much about what others think, but that’s just a step too far. Maybe the next generation, assuming it’s just as good as this one.

If you do, shoot me a message, happy to help point you to some good times and take you out to lunch here in Dallas.

Tom, are you Dallas based? Zip on the screenshots is 75238...which is my zip as well. omg let’s be bff

This is true. Assuming that your cargo items were small enough to squeeze past the seat, you could fit a decent amount back there. But man, the hatch makes all the difference. I even managed to fit a lawn aerator in the back (and impressed the guy at the Home Depot tool rental).

NVH: yep, that’s why I gave up my BRZ for a new GTI. Given my fairly lengthy commute, it was a beatdown. That and cargo space.

Maybe it’s down to flattering angles and such, but man, I am DIGGING the look of that new Focus Active thing. Hopefully it’s not like the Model X where looking at it from any angle more oblique than 3/4 front makes me want to break out the pitchforks.

I did not anticipate that the premise for my humorous quip would turn out to be true.

...3? Am I missing something here?
