Most People dramatically underestimate how much fun adding a manual can inject into just about any car. Match the manual with an engine that has a nice torque band that reaches into the higher rpm ranges and a chassis that is entertaining and you have a car that quite literally does all things.

According to Mazda, a new MS3 is coming. I’m inclined to believe them too, they need that motor for the new CX-9 and the 6 and the CX-5 get AWD and they are all based off the same platform. In my delusional mind that also means I can hope against logic that we might see a coupe on a stretched miata platform with that…

Relatively affordable fast midsize sedans that are available with a manual.

3rd gear: Why the fuck are they allowed to retire when they have failed miserably at their jobs. FIRE THEM. Kick some very deserving asses so that people know what happens when you don’t do your job. You know, the way the world works for rest of us. I don’t go into work and put straight gas in 2 stroke equipment and…

The “LOL AMERICAN CARS CAN’T CORNER” argument doesn’t work anymore so this is what you fall back on...

The challenger is special in that it is an old school muscle car in the truest sense(minus the live axle), its big, heavy, loud, fast in a straight line and extremely comfortable. But yeah it is shocking that it is so heavy.

Last time I checked, 3700 pounds isn’t over 2 tons.

Nope. The challenger is around 4100-4200 pounds.

So who else would buy an AWD fit/Mazda 2/Fiesta if they sold it here? I know I would.

People with the taurus SHO can get about 500ish AWHP and 550ish AWTQ without touching the turbos. If you swap out turbos you can push nearly 650AWHP but at that point I would want to do something to the internals just for peace of mind.

“twist ALL THE THINGS” Best description of all well tuned turbo motors.

Holy ride height batman

Imagine taking someone out on a date and then having to explain why you were stupid enough to buy a fake sunroof.....

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least considering that the Taurus SHO, which is very similar to the interceptor, is a mid 13 second car.

I bet the power curves are much flatter. Modern engine management is crazy.

Right there with you dude. Fixing incredibly impolite peoples lawn mowers.

THIS. As I read this article, all I could think was “How can we as humans design and build things like tilt rotor aircraft, the space shuttle, the space station, robotic surgical machinery, and fucking prosthetic limbs that connect to our brains with electrodes, but not successfully design a flak jacket that can be…

I have just one question. How, THE FUCK, can we make a tiltrotor aircraft work correctly but not have a life preserver with redundancies and/or quick release flak jackets.

And to drive the point home, look at the current Mazda 6. It isn't a hybrid, it uses intelligent engineering techniques to get hybrid-ish mileage without the complexity of a hybrid.

That is the best way or describing this car yet!
