Check out RS25.com's for sale area for starters. Also be open to Impreza L models as they are EASILY converted to an RS or STi clone and can be had without the damned sunroof. A friend is doing this with his and it is awesome, you'd never know it started out as an L. :-)

You bought an automatic and put pretty much zero effort into it and it's the car's problem?

look north! I had to drive from NOVA to RI for mine - in the damned snow! It was a day trip but not bad.

I just picked up a 2dr 2.5RS early this year! Swapped STi drivetrain, built motor, rotated turbo, swapped 2K6 dash and STi interior. So far it's been interesting getting it into good enough shape to daily drive but parts are CHEAP compared to the P-tax I've been used to with a 911. Still sorting suspension out but…

My point was the he took video of this person vs every other because THIS person is supposed to uphold the law and should be an example to be followed - stop snickering that's the way it should be! Submitting the video would likely have resulted in pretty much NO ramifications. A wonderful idea of course and in an…

Yes, I see people all over the road too with cell phones in use, what does that have to do with an officer being reprimanded exactly?

Every other driver isn't charged with enforcing the same law this officer broke? Wouldn't submitting the video to authorities have meant more trouble for the officer? Or more likely nothing at all. Flagging an officer down is dumb no doubt but not because he was wrong...

You forgot the proctoscope in the ass exam...

One system is "record copy" and easily subpoenaed the other not so much.

Cops use cell phones because they're unofficial and not as likely to come up in court or be so easily reviewed as their official comms. In my area the cops had their "chat system" records called up when they were accused of profiling. All of them promptly got Nextel phones and began using them to coordinate their less…

Thanks for saving me the toruble! Owned mine since 2K6 and never had an issue - and I'm TALL. Seems GM is seriously trying to cover their ass on this one, it's probably a little raw of late so I understand...

Oh that's perfect! Cars are heavier and we should just accept it? What a good little sheep you are. You feel that cars today drive better and therefore there's no reason not to pile on the weight. Never mind that a lighter car would be more efficient, faster, handle better, and put less stress on parts. I don't have…

I agree although it was also my understanding that Porsche doesn't exactly look for hardly anyone to buy these and that getting one is for hardcore folks. In the case of the 911 the battery is mounted just in front of the driver's firewall up high in the center right around where the gas tank is . Saving weight here…

If you think that more power and still more power is the answer to mass and weight then you do not understand that all of that leads to more stress on the vehicle, more stress on the brakes, and more stress on the tires. Weight is the enemy of far more than just the damned acceleration of the car and if straight line…

It also comes with a standard lead acid battery to be used for Winter starting as the damned things don't hold enough juice when it gets cold.

They prototyped a really neat car. Small Ecoboosted thing that looked like an Ariel Atom. The video was posted here a few months ago. Completely impractical but man it looked like a complete hoot to drive and probably didn't have 200HP. Give me something between that and the new Mustang and I'll buy it.

Or maybe realize that some of us have driven cars that don't weigh near 4Klbs and enjoyed them? That we realize that lighter cars get better MPG, are easier on tires, on brakes, on suspension, and on the driver? Mass is the enemy and while you can throw more and more power at it you're not really solving the root of…

Yeah, I mean just look at the Mini! Oh wait, didn't they rename that the Maxi?

But they have changed the car. My LX weighed close to 3200lbs. Whats the new pig weigh? Even if it hasn't gained an ounce it's too fat. Weight is hard on tires, transmissions, brakes, clutches, and even the driver. I don't expect an Elise but come on this thing keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. 500HP woohoo…

I'm saying it had enough mass that it's fat ass seemed to want to spin more so than it wanted to hook and move - especially first thing in the morning on cool tires. Weight is well good and fine if it's sitting on the tires, not so in the Cobra. I drove one, I told you what it felt like, you cannot deny it's a fat pig…
