Its a matter of tires. With bad enough tires anything can spin em.

Man, if caddy could make something so awesome looking today...

Old E55

Seems like the heads might create width clearance issues in a small car designed for inline motors, but I like the thinking.

Patrick George made him,its in the comments above. Accountability.

Hate to burst your bubble but all that is a bubble from the 2009 quantitative easing and its gonna burst.

Just tell people it was Davids lol

I had a manual 245. I bought it because it was cheap, liked it more than I expected. Id sum it up as “honesty in engineering”. Everything about it seemed durable. It offered pleasing mellow mechanical feedback under operation. Lightness is a factor too.

It came with a 6, so lengthwise it shouldnt be a problem, this is only 5 long

The ram 2500 v10 which the viper v10 was based off is iron. The viper and viper truck were aluminium.

Do you really just go around spending $2500 on things you dont even want because “why not”?

The glovebox isnt smol.

Ive bought two of these in the last 5years, each were better than this one and they cost less than 2500 combined.

Perhaps more relevant to your main idea it had dissatisfying electronic throttle and steering. Traction control was defeatable, and it spun more than torque steered. Not much axle hop. The suspension was decidedly unremarkable, it was somewhat adjustable midcorner.

Idk 0-60. It ran tippy top 13s, I think I got 13.98@100.3 if I remember right. Roll racing id beat the contemporary v6 mustangs and early 350z.

Np

I had a 91 crx si on cheap adjustable ebay coilovers (too stiff) and economy 14s. With the low weight, grip, and short wheelbase it was hilariously adjustable. I can definitely see a novice getting into trouble with the snap oversteer.

A million commuter miles is less prep for one wheel to wheel race than a single autox event.

There is commuter driving, as in going places never using half the throttle, a third of the revs, or more than .35g of lateral acceleration. This is what most people do. This is easy.

Im with Tsukubu. Try a crx on bullshit tires if you want to learn about adjustable fwd chassis.
