As if the Porsches, Ferraris, and Corvettes aren't shells either. They're stripped down, chassis all reworked, and engine swapped out with a race build methinks.

Parked, got up, and walked?

They built the western half of the Transcontinental Railroad.

VE Commodores... They always seem to fall into the wrong hands.

Correct. It's arguably the only thing the FR-S/BR-Z has over the MX-5. A very clever study of demographic (ability to carry spare tires and tools w/o a trailer). However, every driving bit is likely better in the MX-5.

When it comes to accessible (financially) driving fun, Mazda never dropped the torch on that in my view.

Going out on a limb and say automatic transmissions being one of them. How many lives lost by mistaking throttle for brakes on an automatic? An unlikely scenario with a manual.

Good one.

Perfect

If Cadillac made a Corvette, this would be it.

yep. porsche driver braking on kesselchen? c'mon. going below 90mph on mutkurve? 'cmon.

word

me too

Drives an x3 and thinks he's driving something nice? Pwahahaha!

None are scary enough.

What's up with the whitewall tires?

Infiniti Essence came first, then Mazda Shinari, then Ford Evos. They all seem to be playing from the same style-book.

I'm adding the innocuous Mazdaspeed6: 276hp, AWD, looks like a Mazda6, and no hood scoop.
