This is so fantastic! It seems so insane that 10 years ago the first state even legalized it...

The way I see it, the 924 was still not a cheap car. According to wikipedia it came out in '76 with a price tag of $9,395, which after accounting for inflation is $39,272.75. The Boxster starts at $51,40.

Thank you Porsche. I'm so sick of this rumor. The base Boxster already isn't a screamer, so either they're going to make a smaller car that's cheaper AND faster than the base Boxster.... don't think so.... or they're going to build a car which is terribly slow. Unlike Toyota, Porsche is known for making fast sports…

How does that "water down" the brand? You need to keep in mind that Porsche is a premium car maker. Do they also have a history in racing and sports cars they are proud of? Sure. However their main focus is NOT as being seen as a sports car company, but a premium car company. That's why you haven't been able to buy a…

I mean, if you consider going from a sports focused to a more premium focused company as being "watered down" then sure. However the Macan and Cayenne are still considered premium products with premium price tags. (Same with the what, 80k entry priced Panamera?)

I would be more interested in rolling starts as well, but we don't have those yet. Besides, this is not a small displacement large turbo car with AWD, where you see such a dramatic difference from 0-60 and 5-60. Sure you won't see 2.9 on the street, but by that same measure a F10 M5 won't see 3.7.... however if in…

I'm not so sure though.... i mean 0-60 under 3 seconds... what other 4 door car with close to the weight of a hellcat charger with only 500 hp can do that?

Like you pointed out, for something that does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, 60k is bargain basement prices. Plus 60k is obtainable for a lot of people. Admittedly it isn't like a lot of people have that amount of cash just lying around, but if it's what they really want, they could make it work. Unlike a $250k+ exotic.

I could be wrong, but I feel like there are times when you'd get a peak of that insane power, and it's those moments that you buy a car like this for.

Restraining*, sorry. It's been a rough monday.

Sorry, I meant to say "working on a new rotary sports car", not a new rotary. They already worked on a new rotary, the 16x. I assume there's speculation however on whether that's a finished product or if it will have further development or if it's been shelved.

Oh yeah? Well I asked my guy at Mazda and he told me to "stop calling here or I will file a retraining order"! I'm pretty sure that means RX9 confirmed for 2017.

The rumor is they're planning on working on a new rotary for late this decade, "according to sources farmiliar with the matter". I.e. nothing new, Mazda would still like to make a new rotary sports car if conditions permit.

Well, I guess it depends what you consider significant, however I think it is at least a couple of inches:

As far as I can tell, it is an A-Class with a lift kit. Basically how the XV Crosstek is a Impreza with a lift kit. (Or maybe the Suzuki SX4 Crossover).

This! Plus, dog-shit slow, great looking, and a big engine bay just makes it a perfect car for hotrod'ing.

Thank you. The C3 looks fantastic. Just but a new LS engine in, some modern suspension, and it should easily be at LEAST above a C4.

Is a Civic Si really a "performance trim" version of the Civic? In my opinion, Audi's S-Line, BMW's M packages, hell even the Camry SE... those are "performance trims". A Focus ST, or Audi S4 is a performance model.

The problem with new cars is, they are so expensive, and there is always something else awesome coming down the pipe! Forget it, I'm getting a 911SC!

I saw it at the LA Auto Show.... it's even more insane and heinous in person. That painting of the puma really makes it.
