In Miataland, we refer to these as “hot air intakes.” Because the manufacturer actually put a fair bit of engineering effort into making that intake draw the coldest, smoothest airflow available and if a cone filter and some glorified dryer ducting would have worked better then that’s how it would’ve come from the…

Elevate is a trusted company in the community. While I am not a fan of his tunes, they are safe and fun. It basically will return Polestar levels of power, probably adds 30hp and 40 torques, or something like that. Without a new larger intercooler, these cars are only good for one good romp on the loud pedal before…

lol... not to mention that the stock air box pulls cold air fom ahead of the radiator as opposed to the hot air behind it

Here’s my 2011 R-design with Eibach lowering springs and 18" Midir wheels. You can do a lot with these S40s if you try.

The real shame is that the intake is completely useless as the stock airbox on these cars can support like 400 hp. And with the stock airbox you don’t have to listen to fucking turbo all day.

For the same price of less you can get a C30 which is far more interesting than this S40.

I think the relatively simple S40/V50 is a better bet than some other Ford-era Volvos. I’m a huge Volvo fan but for $9k I would at least want the car to look a little cleaner/less screwed-around-with. Otherwise, I would probably stretch to a 2011+ S60 AWD. Also consider that I found an earlier (2005) V50 T5 AWD…

Between the C30, V50 and S40 this was always the least interesting to me- the Mini-S60 look just doesn’t work. With AWD and a manual this is sorta unusual, but at that price, keep shopping. ND

As a former Passat owner I need to ask: did anyone run this by you?

This is a car I’d buy if I were a con man working in the Hilton Head area

The one who screams to pull over when you’re running from the cops. That shit takes a lot of concentration, damnit. Don’t interfere

Stuff like this makes the designer in me wanna scream.

I live in Louisville too! and I'll admit to having always thought the Raider was a cool truck.

The post-1995 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. It was a big (but only on the exterior), lazy two-door with a measly 200 horsepower V6 from 2000-2005 that was an affront to the SS badge. It seemed to only exist as a marketing ploy to NASCAR fans during the Bush presidency.

I know some people are going to disagree, but fuck the 1996 Ford Taurus. Honestly.

In spite of all this, Kogai didn't explicitly say that the rotary is dead. He just said it's not viable at the moment, and implored people to "please allow us to continue our research" into how to make the Wankel work.

i'm getting tired of seeing this shit on every fucking article. not everyone on the internet knows about your seedy ass rss feeds, shut the fuck up and deal with it or move on.

Man, Two Girls One Cup wasn't even quite this bad.

Comparing a fully race prepped car of any kind to how it totally destroyed a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, GTR etc. that is stock just fucking blows my mind.
