1st gen Neon. Say hi to the best driving car that was also a POS economy car from the worst company ever at making stuff in that genre.

Lol. My first thought when i saw the Yaris GR was “Man. if they sold that here, i’d have to think long and hard about selling my M2 for this thing.”

It’ll come back around. At some point someone will make the first cheap, fun electric sports car. Hopefully they’re smart about it and give it a bit of a retro feel, i’m fairly sure you could convincingly fake a manual transmission in an electric car if high end video game racing rigs are any indication.

350Z could fit 305 section rears in back without too much modification, i really doubt they’ve changed the rear suspension design that much and the body work looks similar back there. I’m guessing pretty wide tires will fit.

The 370z chassis is great. Not a ton to improve on it honestly.

Fuck yeah! Del Sol’s are/were cool.

Not pictured: Del Sol

Fuck. You guys just made me think “Wait. I kind of want a Del Sol” for the first time in my 39 years on this planet.

Isn’t that how all nicknames are born though? A group of friends focuses on making fun of you?

Damn. I have also talked shit about his writing. No wonder he hasn’t given me any money.

True. Very low take rate on the manual for the non-M.

Gotta be DSM’s next right? I used to see SOOOOO many DSM’s.....but no more.

My friend was pretty cool, it doesn’t surprise me that the British would name military planes after him.

Yes, that’s how it works for most people. Go to the dealership, test drive a model, then go see which particular cars of that model they have in stock. Then demand to pay less money because they don’t have the exact one you want.

There are almost no “team management” elements in Forza Motorsports 7. There is extensive car customization and tuning, but i believe the game has an auto-upgrade feature as well if you want to avoid all that stuff.

Offroad

Weren’t the S600 versions still NA back then? Still V12, so still probably a nightmare to maintain, but slightly less so than FI + V12....

Beater civic with a stick for the kids? Good first car, can still find them in stick, if you find the earlier EK/EG generation, they’re genuinely fun, tossable little cars, even in the non-sport trims. 1st gen dodge neon would also work though they were obviously built much worse.

Those are both super fun to drive M/T…

I love those. I had to do a bunch of research on them back when I worked at Turn 10 so we could put those in Forza. Totally weird and awesome car.

My first car was a Celica All-Trac. I lust HARD for the GR Yaris.
