You make good stuff, people gonna copy!

If this is a list of quirks, then shouldn’t there be a Doug Score?

This Clio is like the Fourth Republic: unstable, pieced together out of bits, ambitious, initially successful, and unmistakably French. And like the Fourth Republic, it will fail because of cross-border pressures.

The video absolutely tries to substantiate the contrived notions that OP is complaining about. As awesome as Randy is, what he says in the video (as well as what is said in the article) is demonstrably incorrect and super misleading. While kaisersoze is ranting, they are 100% correct. Power available to you at a given…

Totally bullshit explanation of torque and power. The notion that torque is about the performance at low rpm and that power is about performance at high rpm is a very popular notion but it is totally a CONTRIVANCE. That’s right folks, the most popular belief about torque and power, that is expounded routinely by…

Sometimes there isn’t much of a choice, though. They’re easy enough to avoid in more rural towns, but bigger urban areas with lots of sprawl? You’re gonna have a beast of a time finding the house you want that you can afford and otherwise plausibly live with outside of an HOA.

Don’t forget the c6 Z06 engine.

Not disputing anything you said simply adding to. As an F16 crew chief I’ve seen plenty of critical components with stress fractures/cracks and if repaired properly per the technical data and Lockheed engineers etc, they’re not a further issue, ie. stop drilling with possible beef up plates.

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

You can’t ride a bike at SCCA AutoX walking only, unless disabled then walking speed.

It’s...okay. The coffee is at least not as burnt as most of Starbucks’ offerings, however, they ALWAYS put too much creamer in.

Yup. I think SuperMiata has a pretty extensive write-up about brake rotors for track use. The end result is that cheap blanks from NAPA were the best rotors to use for stock calipers regardless of pads. There was no difference in braking performance between $20 a pop NAPA blanks or $150 Brembo rotors, and spending…

Brake rotors!

Nothing. The phenomenon they experience and equate to backpressure is a loss of flow by buying too large of a header. Since overall flow is a function of area and velocity, at a certain point you’ll have so much volume in the pipe you lose velocity. Scavenging suffers and you lose power. Its why you see more power…

Not necessarily true. Many modern high compression or turbocharged cars can run on premium or regular gas. The ECU just changes the mapping. For example the new CX-9 2.5 Turbo makes 227 hp on regular vs over 250 on premium. That 23 hp is nothing to sneeze at and if performance is what you are after you should consider…

Please add Carbon Fiber hood with multiple NACA ducts.

Turns out that regular ass air is still 78% nitrogen.

Gonna catch hell for this, but exhaust on any modern car.

No, no, no, you have it all wrong. Everyone likes the taste because they douse it in cream and sugar so you can't taste the actual coffee. Which they accomplish by taking away the customer's ability to add cream and sugar on their own. I'm on to you, DD!

I've always said that their coffee tastes of rancid Hazelnuts.
