For what it’s worth, I hate how the M8 coupe and cabriolet look. But the GranCoupe in the right Individual spec? Oh boy. Finally, a variant that looks as good as it drives.

Forgoing the obvious JZ and RB inline-sixes, I’m going to nominate this bucket of bolts. Sure it’s open-deck and every accessory on it will fail at some point, but the N54 is the tuneable inline-six for now. Bolt-ons and a flash will get it to around 400 wheel on pump gas, while the current single-turbo conversion…

I owned a G35 for almost three years and I’ll agree on most points. The shifter vibrates like a cheap motel bed, the driveline lash is almost concerning and the way the stability control system interacts with the DBW is extremely frustrating, often throttling power down low without ever flashing the slip light.

Yup, it’s usually Ka now, if not LIDAR.

I’m guessing it’s due to crazy k-band interference from every blind spot sensor/automatic shopping centre door he passes. Those period detectors didn’t have much in the way of filtering.

If they’re pigmented all the way through, does that mean they make coloured smoke?

It’s usually just the VVEL not having pressure at cold start. I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s pretty normal.

Have you guys ever heard of the Grassroots Motorsports Challenge? Entrants always seem to crank out some crazy stuff within the $2k price cap like a Lumina APV body-dropped onto a 6-speed G6 GTP floorpan, a wide body AMC Spirit on Hoosiers and even some cars that run 9s in the quarter.

Cadillac ATS?

What do you guys consider to be a fast car these days? Furthermore, what do you guys consider quick?

Since EVs have instant torque and a lot of them are going to be rear wheel drive, I’m guessing a bunch of aftermarket will be dedicated to drifting.

Ahh, I must’ve missed that article! Damn these tight journalism school deadlines :D

What’s your favourite car that everybody seems to forget about?

I got a 2004 with the non-rev-up DE engine. 181,000 kilometers on it when I picked it up and it consumes less than a quart between changes.

Which one of you had the biggest scene phase? I’m guessing Kristen, simply due to that Cadillac Escalade article

What do you guys think of 6-speed Infiniti G35 sedans? They’re pretty cheap now, I picked mine up in 2017 and it’s been a hoot.

The other benefit of the roadster over the coupe is being able to hear that fantastic exhaust note that much better. I’m amazing that AMG has been able to maintain this much exhaust note character with a turbocharged V8.

Hey, I made it! In case anyone’s wondering, the real reason I lowered my Crown Vic was because I went to high school in an area where cars are hideously expensive (want a 98 Civic in rough condition for $3k?) and there were a ton of fun local twisty roads. A $550 Crown Vic with $waytoomuch in aftermarket springs and…

I feel you there. I nuked third on this one shortly after arriving at college. I now have a 6-speed G35 sedan which is a much better car than my Crown Vic ever was, but it isn’t as distinctive and it certainly doesn’t slide as well (mini spool + aggressive front end alignment FTW)

Actually the spoiler and skirts were great. I gained 1-2 MPG with the garden edging skirts and the steel rear spoiler was actually functional and noticeably mitigated high-speed rear end float.
