Depends on perspective. Are you drag racing it? Bringing it to the next track day? Using it as an actual race car?

I did remember wrong. Rotors aren’t “lifetime” they just last for an insanely long time assuming you aren’t tracking the car.

The $20k for brakes seems kinda...excessive to me. I don’t doubt it would cost that much if you’re replacing rotors as well, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a “by the book” brake job on this car called for replacing the rotors as well as other hardware that would typically stay with the car since they don’t know when…

Kinda what I was thinking. Of course Bugatti wants $50k for their oil cooler. It has their name on it. But it it is anything like other exotic cars, its likely a part a supplier makes that’s literally the exact same part with the manufacturer’s emblem on it instead of the OEM’s and marked up by 200 (or in this case…

On the high end of the market I don’t really care. Wow, your $300,000 garage queen is now $350,000? I’ll venture a guess that any real prospective buyer at the MSRP can find the extra $100,000.

And Saturn also had this one:

. When it’s on any bit of boost it’s getting that extra airflow for “free” via stealing wasted heat energy from the exhaust and acting like a bigger engine.

But at that point you may as well have the larger engine. The biggest benefit of having a small turbo engine is you reside outside of boost during low load periods and there’s less fuel to burn because there’s less air to mix with.

In my Corvette I’ve averaged 27 over a tank of gas driving somewhat normally. Instead of blasting onto the interstate like I usually would, or jackrabbiting away from stop lights, I just...drove the car.

If Subaru can’t make a car in 2022 with better tech than VW used in 2015, that’s their own damn fault.

I am just going by a reported average cause that is the most reliable option due to different conditions.

I haven’t driven the newest wrx, but the previous gens weren’t as low rpm friendly.

If they allowed you to set the default that you want (may as well use that ginormous screen for something), I doubt anyone would complain. Ship them from the factory in intelligent, make it an easily discoverable change that sticks. EZ PZ.

“A noise akin to a gun shot” is not the same as “the noise of a gun shot”

Sir, you get a star. I found it, and that’s bound to be one hell of a build series.

These guys absolutely don’t care that the Challenger is not crushing ring times or able to keep up with a Mustang GT or Camaro SS on a twisty road. They do like knowing they can roast the tires and still have a stylish comfortable daily driver with a somewhat usable back seat.

In other words, they don’t need it. The Challenger does well enough with its giant V8 engines and standard RWD. Yes, all the pedigree European stuff has shifted to AWD in order to achieve those ridiculous 0-60 times, but your average Challenger SRT customer doesn’t seem to care, and probably even considers it a…

I wouldn’t really call that a 240sx version, maybe a Sentra version since its a FWD econobox instead of a RWD econobox.

It is culturally acceptable for you to do what you’re doing, and IMO it shouldn’t be.

Especially with USB-C to USB-C. A bad cable can (and has) killed devices by putting voltage on the wrong pins.
