My own experience is that mid-engined cars are lot more difficult to control through lift-induced slides than rear-engined ones. Rear-engined cars act a bit more like they have a heavy pendulum attached, retaining a higher polar moment of inertia, and getting back on throttle predictably slows the rotation.…

Some of the confusion might be because the new Land Cruiser is really a descendant of the Land Cruiser Prado (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Land_Cruiser_Prado), the smaller ‘J250' chassis as compared to the larger, full-size Land Cruiser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Land_Cruiser) ‘J300' chassis.

Big same.

Ever since the GR Corolla was introduced, you can buy a lot of things for less than a Corolla!

The most cost-effective fix for a blown 997 Carrera S motor (a 6.2L LS3). Had to wait ages for parts, but it did the trick.

What if the rockets just push downwards to increase tire grip?

All things considered, an amazing save by the driver to have escaped unharmed!

Same take here lmao. End commercials.

Name a few other production cars with 800hp. They’re allowed to have stickers haha.

I’m 6'7" - I drive both a 2006 Porsche 911 (I fit great) and barely fit into a 2011 BMW Z4 (but still fit, even with a helmet). I also considered the Mustang. Since then, I’ve been able to fit into and drive most of my friends’ AutoX cars, but would never buy any gen Miata for myself.

Any plans to remove the front diff & driveshaft?

If it’s all for 25-30mph streets which aren’t wide enough for 2-way traffic due to parked cars on either side, then that’s just called a ‘yield street’ and something we’ve had in cities for decades. Where cars need to pull to the side to let other cars pass, etc. It seems like this design is just codifying that…

Having owned an M97-engined car that suffered a failure on track, I would say the bore scoring concerns are real, yet I’d say the cars are priced fairly. Look at 997.1 prices vs. 997.2 prices - the premium is purely for engine reliability.

What manual trans? :)

Yes, although we should be looking at the rear of both cars. The 9th gen Honda Accord (2013-2017) copied the 1st gen Hyundai Genesis (2009-2014) rear end. The way the silver stripe flows into the white / silver upper half of the tail lights is quite beautiful imo.

An unopened B58 is good for 700+ whp so no big deal to miss out on the S58.

There’s a decent trick for jacking up the car up quickly I’ve learned with my 997:
1. Start at the rear, with the subframe crossmember/brace. Jack the whole rear up high enough to set it down on 2 jack stands
2. Slide the jack from the side of the car, inboard (and slightly ahead of) the front jack point by the…

Mmmmm I would have pointed to a different fatal flaw with the 4C... like needing to retorque the bolts attaching the carbon tub every 12k miles :$$$

Just watched the video and it explains that as long as the stationary car is allowed to recoil, it’s the same. On top of that, the kinetic energy of a moving semi is muuuuch higher than that of an LLV, I’d argue it’s actually worse to hit a semi coming towards you than to hit a stationary semi at double your speed.

Well ‘heater’ in the article is still ambiguous, but yeah your link does explain it - it’s an electric air heater to supplement the engine heater core while the coolant is still cold.
