It’s 2022, are people still talking about dyno results as if they are not one of the most poorly controlled and irrelevant benchmarks in all of automotivedom?

Can anyone provide a real comparison between the old CTR and the VW Golf R.

Imma go ahead and say this...

I voted ND due to the transmission, but the overall package is quite appealing.

I own a 2018 Honda Odyssey and a 2019 Jeep Wrangler (man...what happened to me....i used to be calling out 911/M5/M3/Legacy GT ownership....)

Where’s the analysis on how the lack of available low cost options is itself a reason to make some payments to prevent re-possession?

I’m going to lean strongly into fairly contentious position here: I’ve heard terrible sounds out of cheap cars, but what most offends me is sports cars that sound terrible....

With an 80s mercedes (Hi Maren Morris!), that interior could look like that with 190k miles on it.

If you can arrange for me to get a test drive at a local dealer, I’ll give you my take. I stopped TRYING to test drive things - one of my favorite past-times - because it’s just not going to happen anytime soon.

I had a 2006 Civic SI brand new and drove it nearly 120k miles. I then had an e39 m5, an f80 m3, and a 997 turbo 6mt.

If I had to make an investment bet on a similar car, I’d take a 740 M-Sport and convert it to a 6-speed manual and, as long as the swap was done cleanly, I’d bet on it appreciating over 10+ years while not costing me an arm and a leg.

If he didn’t run it long like that, clean ‘er up, flush ‘er out, start ‘er up, and ride it out.

Here’s an idea for Infiniti - put this in the letter:

So many peeps are knocking the motor....there’s not alot of 8000rpm v8 engines with 6 speed manuals out there, as well as plastic timing chains guides. We don’t know if the motor shit the bed due to a money shift, timing chain guides, or something else.

This is EXACTLY what I was seeking. THANK YOU.

Genuine question to anyone who has driven one of these: How does it drive? How does it compare to an M3 of the era, or an m5, or some other comp car.

I’m a big fan of due process. So, no, I don’t think vehicles seized should be wantonly sold off until and unless those charged have their day in court and are found guilty of laws passed by an elected government that says that punishment for breaking such laws include forfeiture of assets involved in said breaking.

This is a total NP and I’m a former e39 m5 owner who sold a 2001 m5 in 2014, with 130k miles, for $16.5k.

Useless article and metrics is useless.

Owned and driven Saab, Ford, Subaru, BMW, VW/Audi, and other 1.8-2.5 liter turbo 4s going all the way back to a 1988 model (Ford thunderbird turbo coupe which was easily 10-20 years ahead of it’s time).
