As others have said, there are a lot of these in the US. The track in Pigeon Forge is basically the same thing, and it is made out of wood (it’s like racing on a boardwalk).

The Corvette spits fire, the Dodge Demon will pull the front wheels off the ground.... It is a good time to be alive. The killjoys say, “Nobody needs that much power, it’s dangerous”, and for this one, glorious moment, the manufactures are replying, “STFU”. I have no doubt that the killjoys (regulators or car execs)…

There are so many, here are a few off the top of my head.

Oh I thought you were going to say they only cost about $20-$30 a month without insurance, so just skip a latte a week and avoid forcing someone to pay for something they feel violates their religious freedom, but maybe that is just me.

Counter point: Don’t vote unless you are informed. Just showing up and pulling the lever for the guy you have heard of because of a sense of civic duty, or you have a pet issue you are really passionate about is a really bad idea. Voting is a responsibility, and you need to take it seriously. Just because you hear a…

I worked for an automotive parts manufacture for OEMs for several years. You underestimate how much cost there is in developing, testing, and warranting these parts. We received huge penalties from the automotive manufacturer if even one in 500 parts had a slight defect, which meant the part we sold to them was a…

My first time driving was probably when I was 12 or 13 in store parking lot. It was a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500. It was the 4 door, but it did have the 289 in it. Probably a year or so later I drove it down the street to our neighbors house. We lived in the sticks, so the only real danger was to mailboxes and fence post,…

It is a brown manual wagon in nice shape. The Rules dictate that it must be a NP. There is no other option.

This car is listed as costing $31K in the article, so it is already more than the WRX. Adding a turbo to it would add thousands to the cost because of warranty considerations, regulatory compliance and mark up.

In the article, this one is listed as costing $31K as is. A factory turbo is going to be more expensive than a bolt on aftermarket (regulatory requirements, warranty considerations, mark up, etc).

If you try to use a hammer as a screwdriver, you will be disappointed with the results. The BRZ is not intended to be a high power sports car. They are just a (relatively) slow car that is a blast to drive fast. That’s the point of the car. If they added turbo’s and the other related modifications, the cost of the car…

Don’t worry, kids make you old faster. Old people like to be comfortable (I have 3 boys and like to be comfortable, so draw from that what you like). By the damn mini-van with all the luxury you can afford. You will sigh a sigh of sadness when you see the hot sports car go by, but then you will remember your ass is…

For me, specifically NASCAR. I think it’s because the origins of the sport were moon-shining, so they have been “cheating” since the day it started. It’s a part of the history and culture.

So do we just not have enough crappy unreliable cars already in the US, and they are trying to fill the void? I thought FCA had that market all wrapped up?

Absolute blast to drive. NP all day, every day.

Great Scott!

Better than being dead because your car crushed your skull.

Placing a jack on a stack of bricks is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Kids, do not try this at home! It is incredibly unsafe.

Every time I start to doubt the writing ability of the Jalopnik staff, an article like this comes around and my faith is restored. Great read!
