You don’t need a muffler in order to tune an exhaust. Resonator pipes, header setup...etc work fine sometimes. Take the muffler off any other small four banger and it’s not going to sound like an Abarth.

I checked the configurator. There’s a “sport package” for $6200 that has the “sport chrono package”. That probably gets you the extra awesome steering wheel.

This looks barely like a Q5, if they’re ripping anyone off, it’s Buick.

Nicest wheel outside of a GT3. Just like the S5 has the nicest leather outside of a Porsche. It’s the best thing about having a VW group car.

I agree. This was one of the first things I saw and thought “THAT’S LOVELY!”

The purists would rather see the company go out of business. The result of which would send every 911/Cayman/Boxster into the stratosphere price-wise. Then they would bitch that they’re all stupid expensive (you think old 911’s are expensive now?) and the “common man” can no longer afford them. Well, guess what? If…

Maybe something like the systemin my Audi’s brake pads. There’s an embedded wire though them that goes to a sensor. When the pads wear to the point that the wire waers through and the circuit is broken, you get a brake pad warning. It would be easy to add this to tires and a sensor in the TPMS. Or don’t be a lazy ass…

I know it’s easy to blame the FIA for this, but this is more about shared culpability than anything. The FIA has their role, but so does FOM for that matter, as well as Pirelli, and the fans. The fans bit might surprise some, but I believe so much of what we have is an outgrowth of casual fans whining endlessly for…

I saw one of those Roadsters at the Chicago Auto SHow years ago and was kinda dissapointed we never got them here, they looked good and looked like fun! As for the Mirage, who the hell wants one of those for any reason other than it’s all they can afford to drive.........and why aren’t the rest in a sanitarium?!

You go right ahead. You deserved it.

That would make sense, if sound weren’t directional. I’ve had loud-piped HDs come up alongside my car on the highway and I didn’t really hear them until he was almost alongside. If I wasn’t paying attention and changed lanes quickly without checking I would’ve punted him off the road. To me, loud pipes are all about…

Your example is the exact reason TO have loud pipes!

id much rather pay extra and know my car is road safe, than some of the states here who have NO inspection whatsoever

Those Hartges are worth more than many E30s.

Well I am a teacher–I can’t help it. I’m not big on the way those cars are modified. I would like to experience the difference between a stock ‘any-type-a-what’s-it’ and a slammed ‘what’s-it’. Cheers!

Ahh man, when I read the author name I thought it was gonna be the guy from gearz!
