Unfortunately the fast Subarus stay in Japan. Not that your STI is not a nice car, but the JDM engines are a lot stronger. Baffles me why they go to extra expense to make multiple block castings and send us the weaker stuff.

“We have weaponized idiocy.” - Yes, with public education leading the way!
They do. They consider the quality of the sound, not just the volume.
Yes. I have followed this for years and often the engines are not enthusiast type engines, but sometimes they are, and there is typically some interesting technology that could be of interest to the enthusiast.
“This list is just more evidence that automakers are pushing to create engines that are just as powerful as their naturally aspirated cousins but are also simultaneously cleaner and more efficient.” - Forgot about lighter. Which is the primary reason for the turbos.
Manned fighter jets will be obsolete very soon. Time to stop wasting money on them. I do love them for being the most outrageous things that a man can pilot, but reality is that something that is limited to under 10 Gs in turns is gonna get eaten up by something that can turn at 80Gs, and something that will out…
No, the effects on the environment are bullshit. CO2 as a major driver for climate is fraud. Greenhouse gas contribution to warming is much less than caloric input from human activity (~1/10th), and that too can not drive climate. We are in a long term warming trend for thousands of years. Short term trends can…
A marvelous little car that could not keep up with freeway traffic and would be worn out before you could make a cross country trip.

Indian tribes are allowed to make payday loans - exclusively! - You do it and go to jail. Are we gonna get all pissed at Indian tribes that do it? No, because they are starting to cause trouble and stir up shit, so they are darlings of the left. Let him have his day in court. Indian tribes are allowed to make…
All true, but in club racing there is a long history of the guy with the money buying his way to the front, so I don’t get the bitchers - well I guess I do - SCCA, right? Ha ha. I don’t get where the attitude comes from, “I worked and thought real hard on my underfunded ride, no fair spending more than I did!”
What it is really about is screwing things up. Anything the left does is for the purpose of screwing things up, either by dividing us as a nation, hindering commerce, giving comfort to enemies, demoralizing us, etc. The left is all about socialism, and a healthy, vibrant society has no need for socialists, so they…

What you call greed is really a healthy desire to be able to provide for yourself and your family. Why do people like Trump, Gates, the Clintons, want so much money? Not for themselves, but for their families. Capitalism is pure. It does not pretend to be something it is not. Socialism masquerades as kindness but…
“orange whale” - no problem, but if we refer to some one as a brown turd, it is a big offence, right? I am for free speech. Libtards are not.
You miss the fact that socialists have infested our government and now taxes pay for things like importing 3rd world garbage that wants to kill us, lawyers to defend them when they do, and university professors teaching gender studies, etc. Socialists turn everything to shit.
Only fools pay more tax than they have to. “I imagine”- Sums it up.
Not really, the V8 crank is not much heavier, the block is nowhere near 2x the weight, and the balance issues and torsional vibration are much better in a V8. 4 cylinder engines traditionally have been used in low priced cars where power and refinement take a back seat to price. I like 4 cylinder engines, but V8 =…
A V6 engine is not, and can not be balanced. An inline or a flat 6 is balanced. Read up on V6 balance before feeding disinformation.
They do, but overall power to weigh is better with an optimized turbo engine than an optimized NA engine. BTW, my turbo has a stainless steel turbine housing that is quite a bit lighter than the cast iron ones.
