toyota categorically undertunes all of their engines in the name of longevity. the only n/a engine they’ve ever really done with high specific output is the FA20, which is really a subaru engine with toyota’s dual-injection system added.

but why does the f have a worse looking interior than the plain jane 350?

have you ever met a non-car person who has buyers remorse on a car they bought? its brutal. they feel uninformed, railroaded by salespeople, etc. obviously car guys/gals like you and i will research everything ahead of time, know what we want to drive, how to compare, what the costs should be etc. but normies could…

how about the fact that the vast majority of american cars are built with no regard for what the driving experience is like outside of america? can you imagine trying to drive an f150 along the narrow streets of italy? or compare the autobahn high speed ride quality and stability of a lincoln continental to an s-class…

weak trolling. you don’t think the 13b is reliable/worth the upkeep thats fine, but driving around a well-sorted one is incredible. the motor is silky smooth and revs essentially to infinity. what in your estimation constitutes a “good” engine to drive? inb4 small block chebby

there’s no coming back in the fight game when you’re as mentally checked out as she is. when you’re done, you’re done. unless a russian kills her best friend in an exhibition match its over for ronda.

are you kidding? I would drink champagne out of her booty

it doesn’t. its just that all the people in the US that buy new “enthusiast” cars under $30k are used to mustangs and WRXs which have an entirely different driving experience. if you drive it like one of those, the 86 feels underpowered in daily driving (though it pulls much more even with them on track days when you…

the difference between old people and young people is that they just don’t give a fuck anymore. thats why they fart in grocery stores. the ones who groped people privately feel free to grope people in public because they don’t fear consequence.

the original ae86 had a very very similar powerband to today’s gt86. they even both redline at 7400

its not toyota, its emissions and to a lesser degree MPGs (see: stock tires). when you replace the header with something that has a high flow cat and re-tune there is a power difference of about +15whp between 3000rpm and 4000rpm, i.e. the “torque dip” range that everyone hates. its pretty noticeable since the car…

doing cardio just to get my heart ready pump enough blood into my dick for when this comes out

“hastily added”

m8 there is nothing cheaper and uglier than the base model focus ST interior. would you believe this is a car from this decade?

hasn’t society always portended to hate all vanity and not just feminine vanity?

“In most contexts, corny just means uncool. And despite Russell Wilson’s many talents, he does seem to possess a certain aggressive earnestness that would make “corny” an accurate summation.”

maybe look towards the hot hatch world. Focus RS/WRX STI/Civic Type R can provide a lot of fun and a fundamentally different driving experience than the mustang while having typical family car practicality. if you don’t see the light by the time the kids are in grade school you can always go back to mustang ville. and…

wtf... people didn’t like Mazda’s designs at the Tokyo show? I thought they knocked it out of the park. 4 Lexus designers commited seppuku right there.

i do believe Tom Cruise was the reigning champion of non-professional drivers on Top Gear’s circuit.

well yeah nobody expects you to fully enjoy the game after only being a dodger fan for a month
