Remember reading somewhere that these were on par with a budget 3-series.

Corvette haters were always really funny to me. But I think it was meant in good fun this time.

That's comparing the top Camry to the base Vette. If you compared the top Camry to the ZR1 or the base Vette to the Camry I4 it would get very ugly very quickly.

You've put a horrible picture in my head about unsavory apple activities...

I put 60000 miles on my GS-R in about 2 and a half years. I would just take it out and drive it around the backroads. Like every night.

Kill it with fire!

And then I Si'ed in my pants...

It may only provide 16 extra hp at the peak, but greater gains at different points in the curve. Remember, speed is not determined by peak, but by the area under the curve.

Why are we still on this? I thought we had established that this was a matter of the ad agency hired burning Acura?

But that headline wouldn't read as outrageously...

If you're gonna wear a fanny pack, at least grow a beard...

Well I wasn't referring to beauty. I prefer the look of the Escape. I just meant that the Rav4 still has a bit of that rugged personality.

That's weird. I did a GIS for S2000 shifter and the ball with red lettering popped up as an image from a Top Gear article about shifters with the page about the S2000. So maybe it was a EDM/ JDM thing?

I don't know, the Rav4 seems to be more styled to give the impression of utility. The Escape pretty much doesn't give that impression. At all.

A Golf with a 9000 rpm redline doesn't sound all that bad...

The Si has the leather wrapped around the sides. The S2k is the only one to be metallic all over.

Beautiful S2000 shifter...

Spieg, you're the wind beneath my wings.

I meant the picture in the original thread here the COTD was from.

If the car was wrecked, pull the engine and tranny and fit it in an E36.
