You are forgetting that there just aren't many RVs for sale. What this regulation does is force manufacturers to invest more money into EVs, which not everyone is doing right now. If more EVs are offered, more will be sold as demand for EVs is rising. Legislators are not nearly as stupid as people think they are. 

Generally you won't have this issue if you aren't modifying the bodywork. Even if you lose a bit of time from the weight/rolling resistance/whatever, the subjective feeling and confidence will be well worth a theoretical lap time on more difficult tires to drive at the limit. Maybe if you are feeding your family with…

Steering and stopping are most important when driving in the snow. 

Not sure if sarcasm, but very true when taking about snow driving. People scoff at folks putting chains on the front wheels of a RWD car, but it's nice to be able to stop and steer, not just accelerate. 

Really what's nice to know: you don't have the shell out the bucks for the bigger tires, and if you want a second set of wheels, smaller is cheaper. This is extremely relevant information for consumers. 

This is absolutely true, as long as the PSI is equivalent, which I'm sure the link I didn't read specifies. You can change the area of the contact patch when changing air pressures, but that's a whole different topic. 

Wankel engines can actually be very reliable if maintained and used properly. It’s a sports car motor, and needs to be treated as such. The problems mostly come from owners who don’t know how to take care of them.

Accursed Hondas? They sold them by the boat load. Honda and the rest of the Japanese manufacturers saved motorcycles in the US.

Or you could say that the consumer wins.

There is also the limited slip differential in the Type R to consider. The ST is lacking and it needs one.

I like to think of the Skyline as a Japanese Mustang, albeit with more variants, with the GT-R being like a Cobra R/Shelby and the turbo variants being like the GT, and so forth. Not meant to be an insult, just how they would be perceived by a Japanese person. The average person isn’t an enthusiast, so they see a…

No, you want the weight in the back, if you can’t make the weight balanced. A front bias is never superior to a rear bias. Find me a single purpose built race car, not a converted street car, with a front weight bias.

Saying the V6 is over built is a big assumption, if the reasoning is that it’s a V8 with the two front cylinders being used as balancers. I kind of hate the V6, even though it does sound nice. It’s a 90 degree V6, which is a terrible way to make a V6 engine. It has all of the weight of the V8, with less power, same…

I always loved doing it with my CJ-7, but due to the much increased difficulty on my LJ, I never did it. It was also a hard top, which I love and hate, so that made it even more annoying. 

How do we live with 150 HP dump trucks on the roads?

You could almost say that they dampen the movement of the springs...

5 psi with what sized turbo? 5 PSI in a five gallon air tank is a lot different than 5 PSI in a 55 gallon tank. Boost register pressure doesn’t really tell you anything. 5 PSI on the stock 1.5 turbo is a lot different than 5 PSI from a 3.4 liter Kenne Bell blower.

I wish it were a hatch =/ I like the idea of tiny, light, torque rich motors like this 1.5 and Fiat’s 1.4t, but you hit a ceiling pretty fast when you want to make more power, so that’s disappointing. I don’t want to cast a negative judgement on this yet, but it’s hard for me to get excited, especially at the lack of…

Man, as a fellow NC dweller (Salisbury now), I do appreciate this.

I don’t think electric cars will be clean until we stop shipping everything across the ocean on giant ships that belch out tons of smog. Then there are the factories they are built. After that you have to think about the mines and the equipment which extract the lithium to make the batteries.
