And, on the opposite extreme, William Clavey took my wife and me to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve the last time we went to Montreal.

I have no pictures, sadly, but my next door neighbor dropped a Coyote 5.0 into his ‘69 Mustang. Not that you could tell by looking at the outside.

I used one as a course car at a stage rally.

My Jetta works pretty well.

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

A guy I know once had his GPS tell him to take his 15-passenger cargo van down a snowmobile trail. In winter. He declined.

Can confirm. With the Jalopnik Bump on the front of our borrowed Mustang, we were the fastest course opening car at Black River Stages in 2015!

I had a 96 SL2 whose engine was hand rebuilt within warranty for excessive oil consumption before I got it. Those hand built engines were the best. Never burned a drop of oil, and dynoed 124hp to the wheels with nothing more than an intake. Stock rating is 124 to the crank on a DOHC.

There sure is a lot of smoke coming out of that Saturn’s tailpipe. A Saturn??? Burning oil??? INCONCEIVABLE!!! :D

I’ve seen video from there. It looks SO FUN!!! And I’m not even a dirt rider.

Build to compete against the Dodge Grand Caravan Hellcat.

I wished my BRZ had a rear wiper. But then again, I often wished it was a hatchback, too.

Don’t forget TimBits!!!

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I remember taking a ride in the back seat of a Chevy Silverado at an autocross. That was quite an experience.

Fun fact: that TI speech synthesis chip is still alive and well today in many amateur radio repeaters. The stunted “Welcome to the. K. J. 1. H. Repeater.” automated identification every 10 minutes takes me right back to my Speak & Spell days.

I don’t know the numbers, but given the global appeal of the hatch I’m also surprised they dropped it instead of the sedan. Maybe it’ll come back in the next generation.

Here’s what it looked like from the outside.
