Well yea, if Toyota and Subaru are not going to fix it who else will?

Went a little nit picky on the badges. Most cars have the make/model designation in many of those sames spots. Most of those are not actual M badges they are just the model designation.
Yea, i’m not saying it shouldn’t be fixed. But in reality if your butt dyno is so good 20 lb-ft of torque makes you walk away from a car then you really should be putting that skill to better use.
Its noticeable but not as bad as the internet wants to make it sound. You are talking about a dip of 20 tq while the hosepower is still climbing, that is a pretty good butt dyno the internet has lol.
I had a ‘99 GTS before I got my M3. They are fun cars but anything you really want to buy is still hovering in the high 20's low 30's.
Nope, its just I actually do things like this for a living and know how stupid internet commenters make it seem like its so easy when they have no idea what is actually involved.
Because I have to deal 1 million replies by people who do not do this for a living saying how easy it is to just throw in the FA20DIT. In reality they actually have no idea everything it would take to do this mid-cycle and how much it would actually cost on a car that makes very little and sells even less.
I think I am for a 50 state emission standard but at the same time I don’t like the idea of large cities setting the standard for people who live in rural areas.
So you skirt the system you think should be in place?
The Chiron is one of those cars that the longer you look at it the more design details you see. All the top speed bullshit aside this is one car that I would love to own if I was a billionaire.
I’m curious what other names were on the table.
They were straight up asked in interviews and they lied directly to their audience.
They are getting it there because people who were duped payed for it.
Has the press lost all ability to describe a design other than equating it to something.
Not really, it has been at a few but honestly Toyota has kept it out of the light quite a bit. When I was at the NAIAS earlier this year it was absent as well as it was absent from a few other notable shows. The media however, every little tiny detail they have to publish to get clicks.
Actually you should tell the media to fuck off, they are the ones showing you a car not ready to be shown yet, not Toyota.
Because it helps with fuel economy when you don’t need the extreme cooling required of long track sessions.
It should be fixed, but its not. That’s life. The fix is simple and readily available. The torque dip really is not that bad as people on the internet want to exaggerate.
Cool, 2 components might handle it. The Lexus IS diff was from an NA engine was it not, will it handle that much torque at a lower rpm a turbo motor makes? What about transmission? Half shafts? etc...
And you act like it was there plan all along. Clearly it was not. End of story. Not happening.
