    I scrolled down to vote CP as soon as I saw

    The expectations of the Miata are set in stone. The 86 was not the Supra reincarnation they expected. The car world set some weird expectation for it, that it clearly was never meant to achieve. 

    I’m hoping they’re smart enough to never offer it with big power.
    Because:

    I’m in for an SRT-71.

    “Can you imagine FCA as a government entity?” 

    He’s pulling fairly consistent 500K+ views for each of his videos within a few days of posting, so he seems to have a decent following. He’s no PewDiePie, but he is apparently doing okay.

    First, the inline has fewer heads, cams and all those accessories.

    Can you imagine the engineering challenge to make a hot V setup in a 60 degree V6?

    Easier plumbing for single or sequential turbos when there is just one row of cylinders.

    In the age of turbocharging, inline engines will have several manufacturing advantages over Vees. This may be the way of things to come

    You realize, of course, that it was technology (a big part of which was turbocharging) that turned Germans into Liars: An E 53 would normally mean, under the Old Way of Things, that a 5.3 liter engine would be found under the hood. That is no longer the case — it’s whatever moniker they think fits the price. Ah,…

    If you remember nothing else from this life, remember that women like cars because they can do whatever they damn well please.

    This is a half truth. If you run summer slicks, you’re way better off with winters in every other condition. If he’s testing all seasons or a summer rain tire, yea, I buy it for stopping distance.

    why am i having these kinds of issues with a $140k+ car?

    It’s a 330i ZHP. You can tell from the aluminum cube trim in the interior. The only thing that screwed with my head were the V10 noises dubbed in at times. Also the 911 is a G Body, but definitely from the 80s.

    RON is what’s used as the advertised octane rating in many countries, however in many others (including the US) it’s AKI - which is the average of MON and RON. 98 RON is what we call 93 octane in the US.

    I have no idea where you are... but if you’re in the U.S., Walmart takes ‘em at their lube shop, as does pretty much any chain-type aut0-parts store.

    FTFY

    the voice over in the movie was terrible.
