30k EUR equals around 38k$ . Now imagine what that kind of money would get you

at least over here in Deutschland, the FRS/BRZ are around 30k

Strange times. We can buy a 570hp "Sports-Activity-Vehicle", yet no sub-20k$ RWD compact.

Youre absolutely right! That last sentence is why I bought my Abarth. Joy over all.

My smart has 110hp, 195 in the back and 175mm up front and tbh I've never had any problems with oversteering.

Nürburgring, June 3rd, 1934: Mercedes-Benz entered the so called "International-Motorsport-Competition". Back then, the cars had to weigh 750kg or less in order to enter the races. The Mercedes racecar (called the W25) had a weight of 751kg. The night before the race, the mechanics removed the white paint in order to…

Can someone explain that second "wheel" on the right?

I dont really care if the Abarth is 2 seconds slower in every way. I guess to some people it matters how fast the car feels on you. I had tons of fun in the Abarth.

How would you compare the Abarth to the FRS/BRZ in terms of pros and cons? I own an Abarth and thought about selling it and buying a BRZ.

C63 Coupe?

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X

What is it with Porsches and Ping Pong

Why? Because its the entry model or because you dont want a Boxster/Cayman? I own a '14 Boxster 2.7 and its hands down the best car I've ever had.

But nowhere as cheap as the Zenos.

How much is the Ginetta? If it would be in the same price range as the Zenos that would be fine

Are there any track cars like the Zenos that have an actual roof?

Because its just so un-Mercedes

Frankly, thats just how we roll over here.

Interesting. James May wrote an article about putting a motorbike engine in a small (say; light) car a couple of years ago. Low-Rev high-MPG in everyday use, high-rev, high-torque when needed. Imagine a Miata with the 1L (209hp) engine from the BMW S1000 RR.
