Huh, I didn't realize the Speed was turbo, I thought it was a breathed-upon N/A.

No kidding. I just had my mind blown. Any idea what kind of power it put out? Do you think it was worth having the factory turbo or would it be better to get an N/A one and slap a turbo kit on yourself? So many questions, it's like a new world has been opened up to me!

Wait what? They built factory turbo Miatas? And they sold 9,000 in the states? Did this really happen and I've been living under a rock, or did I step into an alternate universe when 5:01pm rolled around?

The examples in this video do look really good, but most of the ones I've seen in the real-world have rust holes, faded paint, curb-rashed wheels, and "JDM as fuck" stickers all over them. They look great when tastefully done, but most of them are so F&F modified that all of the grace is gone.

Mmmm, that's handsome. Come at me, zombie outbreak!

Back in high school, my friends and I had the sickest setup for NFS: Most Wanted. Took the Recaro seat that was on hold from going into my buddy's Miata pending the floor holes being welded up, got 4 30" cabinet speakers hooked up to the surround sound receiver and positioned them at the 4 corners of the room,…

Absolutely. CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) plus some wacky run-flat technology that I don't quite understand. I didn't realize these bad boys MSRP'ed for $130-150K. Wonder what you could get them for now...

Yeah, I thought Jalops liked the H1 since it could, you know, actually work off-road. And they had so many cool body-style variants.

You speak the truth. I'm no Corvette fanboy and I haven't kept up with any of the C7 news because I just can't be bothered to click on the articles because the pictures and videos don't make it look like it's anything special.

No. This is not the Nissan I want. Give me the IDx concept 210/510 reincarnation thingy they debuted. I want that. Not this fat, blobby, generic, warmed-up thing. 240hp/240tq is all well and good, but the styling just isn't doing anything for me. I want to smile when I see my car, damnit!

No legacy influences!?!?!

That certainly makes sense considering how high and cocoon-ish that center console is... but it would be easy enough to recess the console so that the top of the handbrake sat flush with the top of the console. It would probably look cleaner too.

Off topic but here we go: what's up with putting the handbrake over on the passenger side of the center console? To me, the handbrake is almost as important a driver aid as the gearshift in a manual car. My mom's Grand Cherokee's is located almost in the passenger's lap, and I was okay with that, but my old Legend…

For a second thought this was a manual mirror adjust... Now that's something I'd be down with.

Good video. Liked the level of production value, and that they didn't go the route of the over-hyped slow-mo lens flare shinyfest that they could have done. I love Gymkhana videos and all, but this was refreshing.

At first, I thought the process of creating this went like this, and I thought it was really cool:

Time to shift your point of view. $9.5K can actually get you a lot of car, and a lot of kit. You can certainly go faster in a straight line than this for that much money, and you can certainly get around an autocross course, racetrack, or rally stage faster than this for this kind of scratch. BUT. If this is the…

Sweet Lizzy is that thing menacingly cool looking or what?!?

Well, I want to 'Dajiban' a Dodge 2500 now. I wish I had known about this before my dad sold his 2001. We got $600 for it from some contractor, plus about $50 in scrap value for the rusted-out shelves from the back. If only I had known...

Uuuuuugggghhhh does anyone actually believe this marketing bull? An "open-top sports-type mini-vehicle?" Seriously?!? I'm getting all sorts of worked up.
