That same thing happens when people walk into each other in hallways, and keep side stepping into each others path. It's a trap.

I'd say, yes, though not necessarily "too fast". Above 500 hp with street tires, it becomes more and more about controlling traction, and when you can break that traction at most legal speed limits, it gets a bit old (especially when you become used to the power, and it no longer "wows" you).

You probably won't, but it's also about consistency. A third pedal means you have one additional variable to manage, and trying to put down good times can be involved enough.

It depends what you consider the engaging portion of the driving experience. Keeping your engine within a certain point of its rev range, isn't something unique to working a third pedal. You can do that with a paddle shifted system, with more practical function.

Then you can focus on the other engaging parts of…

So yeah, I think the RC F probably is the best M3 (and also M4, you know what I mean) fighter there is right now. But this kind of prompts the question of whether that's good enough. Wouldn't you rather have the target it's designed to fight in the first place?

Nice one, and you're a Calvin and Hobbes fan. We're officially friends.

It really depends on the chassis and suspension tuning. Keep in mind, the GTR is also a heavy car in its own right, and it's one of the best handling cars on the road, today.

But it's not really a big failure. The people who insist on manual, don't actually put out money. They mostly just talk about it.

I've found the AFS motors to be too slow for spirited night driving, myself. I wished they'd turn as fast as the steering input.

I've found AFS to be nice if you're moving slowly, but since it moves more degrees to the left (IIRC) and the actual AFS motors are pretty slow (relative to some cornering speeds), I kind of find them to be less useful than I'd like.

Yes, clearly I'm saying bitching on the internet is better. Don't be so defensive.

Most entrenched changes, have to come from a concerted effort, either on part of a unified and well-backed populace, or those with the power.

Your guess is as good as mine, Captain. For some odd reason it's a thing people in FL do, and I've never understood the idea, myself.

Try to not be so defensive. The original poster stated that rotaries get bad gas mileage, which they do, especially for their displacement (actual, or as Mazda claims). When you then say you want to burn as much fuel as possible for power, it conflates two ideas— burning fuel because it's actually making more power,…

But burning more fuel, as it relates to poor gas mileage, isn't a good thing. You want to burn more air-fuel, as efficiently as possible...hence why things like tunes increase both mileage and power, whereas simply running more conservative or rich has its downsides. Personally, I want my fuel economy and performance.…

To be fair, "special attention" is about the worst way you can prove something is reliable. The less attention something requires, while being able to function consistently, the more claim you can have when it comes to reliability. The greater the network for support of that thing when it eventually malfunctions, aids…

To be 100% honest, the two sound more alike than they are different.

That's exactly why I believe DC is so bad. It's a central hub for everyone up and down the coast, looking for jobs (include VA and MD). When you mix all these driving styles and cultures together, it turns into a keg.

I'd be interested in the details of how this went down, and was eventually resolved.

I hear what your'e saying, but I feel like you can eventually, somehow, teach ignorance.
