I'm too old to be filled with so much glee at this... but I am!

Those numbers could even be had with only a few minor mods without forced induction. The motor has the ability to be built up a bit and still retain reliability. I think a true CAI, new exhaust, some new internals and you would get there. Plus they would retain the NA torque curve which would be fantastic.

But weren't they trying to figure out an application for it on military planes? Or was it strictly for space programs?

What ever happened to the idea of using Aerospike engines? Did that just disappear?

This is the most patriotic thing I've seen in a long while. Thank you Dodge, Thank you Ralph Giles, Thank you America!

I took my FRS off roading in gravel yard this weekend. Now I have a new hooning space! I'm going to go back to get pictures and maybe a video. IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN!

It was a sleeper in the sense that no one ever really understands that it was quick. To them they just saw, oh look a Passat, how boring. Then you passed them doing Autobahn levels of speed, and they were like what just happened.

I know, I loved it, but hated it. The noises it made in higher revs was awesome. It might just be my own personal experiences, but it could have been better.

It was a quintessential sleeper which made it awesome. It could cruise easily at allegedly 130mph on the highway ticking around 2k rpm. It's just the complexity of the entire underpinnings let it down.

I'll do my namesake, The Passat W8, looked like a normal German Saloon, but was packing a W8 engine that was the weight and size of a V6. In theory, brilliant. In practice, a fucking nightmare. Plasma cut heads made it impossible to re-ring. Wiring harness if one lead went bad was $3500. It was possible to make…

It's also missing how the lighting perfectly sets the mood for cool impromptu social get togethers, and how it can use those meetings to socially connect on Twitgram and Instatter. Dynamic, decisive, money, cool, hipster, things..... The brand new Audi A3.

None of you will beat this.

I corrected my mistake, and Kinja won't let me take it down! KINJA!!!!!!

My mistake, I misinterpreted paragraph 2. I reread it and now I understand what he was saying. My apologies.

Sorry I read it at first and it didn't register immediately. Now I get it. For everyone else that made the same mistake, reread paragraph 2.

I am no Neil deGrasse Tyson, but...

So it's not going to be unveiled at Chicago, dammit.

If it can come with 3 pedals, they just created a turn key Formula D car.

Is this who is driving?
