I suspect that cops who will go so far in their abuse of power wouldn't let your non-consent get in their way.

BMW X1. Might be closer to luxury than premium.

I would love to have an S2 with four times this many miles, but 21k is a lot of scratch. It is probably worth that much, it will just be difficult to find the right buyer.

The 944S2 would demolish that Targa at the track.

Nope. Most of it is already detached anyway.

It was designed and built by Porsche, regardless of whether Audi was supposed to be the one selling it. That also only applies to the base 924 with its craptastic engine. All the other cars in the family are pure Porsches. The 944 Turbo and 944S2 could spank the 911 of that time period.

That's a Stuttgart badge, not Ferrari. I know, its crazy confusing.

924 Turbo is nothing special either. Carrera GT is the only truly noteworthy 924. 924S is certainly a decent option if you are shopping for a 944, but the weight difference is not that significant. IMO, 944S2 is the way to go in this family. Similar power to the 944 turbo with most of the extra go fast parts, plus

Two out of three vehicles in the video stop to check on the driver, I can live with that compared to a lot of the other videos we see around here.

I like the sound except for the air noise, which I suspect will only be audible from on-board mics. This may turn out just fine. I especially like the sound in the middle of the rev range, nice and throaty.

Let me guess, you also insist your SRT-4 is definitely not a Neon.

The exhaust wasn't the only thing...

The crazy part is that I think everyone here can remember that. It wasn't very long ago.

Seconded. Well, Cayman S.

Looks cool, but it still doesn't have the level of control cam-less valves have. It says it uses "a series of intermediate rocker arms", meaning it is not infinitely variable lift. It also doesn't mention anything about being able to adjust timing or duration. I get that there are various advanced valve control

Which manufacturer has a system with infinitely variable lift, timing, and duration?

Umm, this is a discussion on Jalopnik, a car site. Engines are expected to function well in a broad RPM range when attached to a car. As far as I know, current VVT systems only provide two timing options for low and high RPM. Cam-less valves can have infinite timing options for optimum efficiency throughout the RPM

They aren't electrical camshafts, they are cam-less valves. You use pneumatics or electrical actuators to open and close the valves rather than cam contours. There are real advantages in efficiency in doing it this way, it is just a matter of making them durable enough. There are probably also size advantages since

Not true. Just because something is involved in a reaction doesn't mean it's chemically involved. Some reactions only occur in water because the ingredients must dissolve before reacting with each other. The water is integral to the reaction happening, but is not chemically involved. This is the same.

You are correct
