Yup. The tail looks a lot closer to the Kia Optima than the Mazda 6.

Related anecdote, I noticed in parts of asia, the feral dogs would look both ways before crossing the road.

You may have not noticed, but we are in the discussion section of a video. This relationship with the underlying video provides context for the entire discussion. The fact that the entire discussion is in text (and sometimes images) requires detailed consideration of the context of any discussion absent the presence…

Absolutely not, you missed the scope of the discussion in the original instance. The scope of the discussion in the original instance revolves around the definition of performance in the context of this video.

Moreover, your cited chart labels the FiST as “[t]he easy winner.” :)

“Truth is a cruel mistress.” Absolutely. If you go down that road, V6 mustang. Around a track, it’s going to be a faster car than either the FoST or FiST. Same with the WRX. Same with the Genesis. Likely with the GTI and BRZ (though these are highly driver dependent). A well driven Accord V6 would likely equal a FoST…

LOL, FoST as a numbers car

Nah “climate control issue.” Climate control (of the engine bay).

FiST>Focus ST W.R.T. to performance :)

Not sure if things are different in Europe, but checking for a clear intersection typically does NOT include checking for cars approaching at 4X (four times, as in 100 MPH in a 25 zone) the speed limit.

How so? From a safety perspective, there’s not a whole lot you can do to make a motorcycle (as apart from the gear on the rider) safer in a crash. You *could* have a motorcycle airbag, that offers some protection, but short of turning the motorcycle into a car, there’s not much else.

So Onstar will predict severe head trauma for Hennessy CTS-V owners at the dragstrip?

Chevy cavalier is completely appropriately named - the lack of general concern (for the driver) and carelessness (in assembly) precisely describe the car.

It’s a car that uses non-takata airbags. i.e. SaFeR.

First car? For $25K? A first gen Honda Insight. It’s a stick, but doesn’t have really any power and skinny tires, so momentum based shenanigans generally occur at relatively low speeds. Recent enough to have decent crash standards, but stripped down to reduce distractions and cramped enough to reduce the chances of…

push off and drift. same as if you are sitting in one of those shopping carts with full 4 wheel steering and the floor is lava. not that i have first hand knowledge or anything...

Granted it may be difficult to walk in reduced gravity, but why would you need to walk in zero gravity? Can’t you just float?

yes. it’s called google maps.

so your order took basically a quarter of the life cycle of the mk6 just to build...

Plus these are stupid fun on a tight track. You're capped at about 90ish for the straights, but the turns! Sportbikes would blow by me in the straight, but i'd easily catch up and pass them in the corners... on the outside, leg out.
