Man, I really feel for the guy. It’s easy to armchair quarterback this stuff, but when you’re out on a road, where you haven’t done lap after lap of practice, and you’re behind the wheel of a 458 Italia, things can get out of hand pretty quickly. A downhill hairpin is like a fucking bear trap. Yeah, the guy obviously

Judging by its sales, that is exactly what they did...

With the large number of working examples in the aftermarket running a low mount turbo is not an issue at all. Someone, somewhere within Toyota or Subaru has long since determined that it is not allowed to make it to production. There is plenty of room and it is clearly possible.

There really is no need to fix them. I spent many years working on those TDI engines at a dealership. They are incredibly durable and efficient. You could breathe that exhaust. The tailpipes were always shiny and clean. The real environmental impact will come from taking these cars off the road. I’m not saying it was

Alright well let’s take your car and crush it to on, that sounds fair since you want to do the same to hundreds of thousands of people’s cars.

Even Subaru acknowledges the fact that this car is so slow you have plenty of time to kill some time by bird watching.

“But 205 HP out of 2.0-liters is actually pretty impressive, guys.”

Not once you consider the peakiness/lack of torque. Maybe not as drastic as S2000 but same vein.... Inexcusable when they have the WRX engine at their disposal.... 

Cars are horrible listening environments compared to your living room, unless your living room also features a panel of glass only inches from your left ear and forces uncorrectable compromises in speaker placement.

I stopped in Cadillac’s NYC “experience center” for a cup of coffee and to get out of the rain. I will say, current Cadillacs feel like money. The entire design of the showroom is how every dealer should look because the cars were presented beautifully. The CT6 is stunning and worth every penny they are asking. Is

Is golf that dying of demographic, because it seems that most companies that are in high end products fall over themselves to associate themselves with some tournament or open. Maybe you don’t play or like golf, but to call it a “dying demographic” seems a bit uninformed if you ask me.

Thing is the cheaper stuff uses more resin and less fiber which results in those large diamond shapes.

It is when you can change cars up to 18 times a year, pay no insurance, have no mileage restrictions, get the car freshly detailed each swap.. a CTS-V is about $1000/month to lease on 36 months. Drive a V today, Escalde tomorrow, CT6 next month, ATS-V in April... that’s not bad.

No, they don’t come with only two speakers.

Um, the 2017 Hellcat engine is 707HP and 650ft-lb out of a 6.2l engine, this is 700HP and 750 ft-lb out of a 6.0l engine.

My trunk hinges are the best trunk hinges.

That’s just not true.

What? A car is absolutely not a perfect listening environment. It’s quite the opposite, especially from the driver’s seat (front corner of cabin.)

34 IS overkill, but part of the equation is getting sound everywhere. The 2 speaker home systems need to just reach one listener in one place, in an usually uncluttered space.
