Fun Fact: the Patriots did hit the Scuds. The kicker is that the Scuds were all like, “Dafuq, bitch? I’m already on a crash course! You ain’t doin’ nuthin’!”

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing where to drift to
When the rain set in

You still haven’t. This did not cost $5 trillion.

Well, in fairness, to intercept you actually need more than basic algebra. You need calculus for ballistics.

If you want to see a truly scary robotic critter, check out one of these ‘exo-atmospheric kill vehicles’ doing a hover test - this footage was from 2008 or so;

If those had been framed as missile interception problems rather than just a stupid “mr brown leaves his house to get to the store and mr white wants to meet him at a point in between” I probably would have cared a lot more.

Tell that to the people who paid 10K over sticker for an RS when they first hit the states. Hype outweighs logic 99.9% of the time.

It’s a message to North Korea.

It’s gonna be much more than slightly used at that price. The only 911s I’ve seen in that ballpark are 997.1 models and 996.2 models. You’re still gonna pay into the 50s for a 997.2 and the 60s for a 991.1.

As long as you feel the same way about the Focus RS, Golf R and WRX STI, I accept your statement.

Why buy any car when an S65AMG will eventually, someday, be the same price?

You’re slightly used BMW will get roasted at a track by this “civic”

The Golf R is $40k now.

The Golf R is $40k now because you can only get it fully loaded. The Focus RS and STI are both $36k, not including destination and handling. A $3k difference is not nothing, but I think I’m with you. I might pick the Civic over the STI simply because Subaru interiors suck, but I definitely would not pick the Civic…

The same can be said about every single one of its competitors.

that’s a CP comparison. BMW washer fluid will cost you more than 12 type R wings.

why stop there, you can totatlly get a c5 corvette and it will smoke both.

Yeah, but the previous owner of that BMW probably farted a lot in the car before you bought it. Do you want a car that has been pre-farted in?

And lose out on everything that makes the R the R. I think the sport trim is probably going to be a more usable real-world car but c’mon. Once the engine size changes and there’s all types of changes to the suspension you’re fighting a losing battle in beefing up the sport to Type R levels.

That said, it will be…

The new S2000 will cost a bit more than this and have a good bit more horsepower, it was a Boxster competitor in 2000 and will be a Boxster competitor in 2019 when it re-launches. Expect HP/Tq numbers to match.
