Then you need more displacement to make up for it.

The problem is modern twinscrolls and TTs. An older single turbo setup with all the lag in the world that kicks you in the back like a horse when you hit peak boost isn’t exactly the kind of highly controlled experience he’s complaining about.

Unless you’re married to natural aspiration, just throw a supercharger on there. There’s a guy in my area who’s does autoX with a 1.8L NB.... and a 1.8L supercharger. It’s around 400whp. He told me it could easily be doing more, but he’d get too much wheel spin and he can’t fit wider tires on without compromising the…

You can’t get a new 2-door at all anymore, so you’re limited to whatever options you find on a used one.

Doing FWD right is complicated. There’s a reason it didn’t become common until the 80s.

Nope. Only the 4-cylinder gasser, and only with rwd, extended cab, and in the two lowest trims.

Even share a first name with the dude

Like all of the weird race cars that come in from other countries and never get registered because they’re only ever trailered to and from the track.

There are a few (very few) Euro-spec Audis which the NHTSA & EPA consider to be “substantially similar” to the US version. In principle, they have to be brought in by a registered importer to have the appropriate changes made, which means switching the gauges to miles from km and changing the warning lights. I’ll bet…

300' range? That’s pretty impressive.

My first car was done-in by an electrical issue: there was a short somewhere so the battery died in hours when parked, and we just couldn’t figure out where the problem was. Really too bad because it was in great mechanical condition aside from rust on the front strut towers. But it had a full life: it was a 21 years…

Love it. I imagine you can spin the flywheel back up pretty quickly too.

I’ve had that happen. If I’m not in a hurry, I’ll just gradually go slower and slower. Usually they pass as soon as you’re doing about 5 under, but sometimes they’re clearly not paying attention and you end up doing 30 in a 70. Getting to a complete stop seems like it could be dangerous, but I’ve always wondered what…

CARB only exists because CA has a waiver from the EPA to enact its own standards. All the Feds would need to do to gut it would be to not grant that waiver. Under 40 CFR 1074.105(b)2, they can deny it if:

4th: Ford & 150 domestic jobs... why does that sound familiar?

I mean... that’s not wrong.

*6%: the 1% write-ins + 6% Moore got scrunched together.

Now, next question: Where were you when you found out singer Bobby McFerrin was black?

It’s not a real peer review unless at least one reviewer gives some suggestions, no matter how inane. So...
