I drove one for the first time this morning and have this to suggest:

Really? Find me another RWD car with an LSD and manual that weighs 2300 pounds. Lightness is SO much more important than power. My NB Miata had about 80hp and an LSD and I could drift it without trying, on command. My 320i has 180 hp (over 100% more power) and weighs 1000 pounds more (less than 50% more) and it won’t

I’ve got to say £20k isn’t that much really for a new car and secondly you don’t buy a MX5 for power, you buy it because at heart it has the soul of a traditional English sports car.

The Lotus Elise did just fine with that much power and could out do many cars with twice the power. Power =/= value.

“Joke”. Ok. You’re always complaining about Aaron’s AOTD’s, playing it off like a “joke” is like that bully in elementary school that does just that when called out. Grow up. Use your commenting power to catalyze good discussion or present a well thought-out point. Stop bitching.

But unlike an elected official, it has zero bearing on your life or the institutions you rely on. So fucking give it a rest.

While you’re right, what’s the Ferrari FF have to do with it?

Decent list except for tower strut bar. I came hoping to find sway bars but glad I didn’t have to teach someone a lesson in suspension tuning. *thumbs up. Weight/distribution is something people don't take seriously enough. It has a profound impact.

Agreed completely. A C3 *needs* to be developed like this. Imagine if there was a company doing for C3s what Eagle does for E-Types or Singer does for 911s.

maybe it is because I was born in ‘73 but I always loved the look of the C3, it’s like a woman; busty on top, skinny in the middle with booty on the bottom, sexy in a classic way. Probably also because I didn’t fully comprehend, as a kid, how slow they were I don’t hold the same contempt that others who drove them do.

Giving that car high shoulders is like finding an old supermodel, bulking her up to 350lbs+ and sending her out on the runway again.

You can’t spell “MiQroBus” without MQB!

These were great though - while ridiculous, they captured the zeitgeist of the car tuning moment perfectly.

I think that some of you guys are confusing ‘ridiculous’ with ‘ridiculously awesome’.
