This is par for the course in the UK. Its all about laws and bureaucracy!

Nit picking, but you have to account for inflation, which puts the original cost in about $78,000. Still very cheap compared to the price now, but 2008 prices are a little deceiving.

136hp or 170hp options? Geez, my base 2006 Impreza had 178hp and i wouldn’t call it speedy. Passing on rural roads took some planning. Yes yes, speed isn’t everything... but it IS EVERYTHING when trying to merge or pass safely.

Geez, in Ontario it wouldn’t legally be allow on inter city parkways which are a minimum 50mph.

MMmmm I love legionnaires disease

Tokyo by Map,

Finding a stock clip is as hard as finding a stock Supra haha

The last Supra for comparison,

I’m sure part of the Mazda-Fiat deal is that Mazda still gets to build the “better” car while Fiat will always get a compromised car. Makes sense, Mazda wouldn’t want to lose Miata sales to Fiat. Also, is their sales caps like the Subaru-Toyota FRS/BRZ deal?

Want to replace the vacuum pump (no.20), that’ll cost you $1440!!

I have no real reason to post here, but I just want this gif up (that I and couldn’t find my F&F Rx-7 cutaway gif.)

Will I be downloading (illegally) this? Yes. Did you hear me Amazon?! Because you’ve decided that Canada, you’re Northern neighbour isn’t worthy enough to have your digital video Prime service. Canada, the one of few countries that has been singled out for large scale levels of digital piracy. You know, maybe if we…

Race rubber isn’t exactly designed to slide on asphalt easily.

If they are going with the TR-9007, they can also do an AWD setup. If you’re going to change everything about the Corvette, you might as well go AWD Mid-engine. (which also could explain why there was a Lambo-mule being tested at GM).

Its really sad that my 2006 Impreza Base has 178hp. Crosstrek is a nice idea, but its definitely going backwards in performance (or just general power comfort). Passing on rural roads in my Impreza takes some forethought, I couldn’t imagine passing too many in the Crosstrek!

Why not use a Lambo as a test mule? Lots of companies use other cars to test suspension or engine setup. Cheaper to take a Lambo than make the bespoke prototype. Hell, they could have had the Lambo in for research for years and it was just sitting around GM waiting to be used as a test mule.

Too bad there isn’t a Ford Focus RS Wagon!

The argument was more, I did it in my youth and it worked fine, why shouldn’t it work for my kids today. We’re not talking lead paint here, just car size.
