Cheaply made, pain to see out of, most of the tiny trunk was blocked off, could not have the top down if you wanted to use the trunk at all.

There is a reason no one bought them. That said the redline/gxp versions of the kappa platform with the optional gm power upgrade were awesome for acceleration for what they were.

I disagree. Let me start by referencing a 2006 documentary called The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, in which a foreigner, Sean Boswell, is somehow handed the keys to multiple super clean cars which he repeatedly puts into the wall while learning how to drift.

Had an NC club spec and tbh never felt I needed more power. I threw an after market exhaust on there to make it sound a bit more exciting. Had a lot more fun in it than the BRZ. Top down was probably a good part of that. Never felt it needed more power to be fun. Wouldn’t be opposed to it, but the only thing full of

Except its mind blowing how fast they could get going that early on.1914 and you can hit 100 mph. Motogp’s record was 221, but that was in 1996. Not sure what their typical speed is during a race today, but the curve is not quite so vertical as it was back then.

Was debating going for one of these last years. Don’t want rhd due to being deaf in left ear and no one imports the lhd europeean models. 18k for a 25 year old toyota (even a homologation special) with 129k and non original? Kinda cp sadly. Also steering wheel is not original either as that is the later style if

Different things, probably slightly different staff to do it. On the flipside you have all the parts, documentation, and tools. You also have access to engineers. Would trust the factory to put a car back together better than a dealership. Dealership might do 1 every few years. Factory has done 15 and when not doing

Still gonna spend over 1k in parts if you use oem. Now if someone has gone to the trouble of cross referencing that is another story, but Ferrari parts are hilariously expensive.

8) You feel like GM vehicles are too well put together. You want that classic british experience of poor build quality. Seriously, the Evora has not done well in this dept.

Colorado mpg with summer gas hits and can exceed the estimates the v6 and 8 speed auto.  (4x4 extended cab z71) I4 with six speed? Not a chance. It got worse mpg than the v6 I have now. If only chevy would build me a truck that wasn’t a lemon though that is the real trick.

Expect gremlins. GM seems to thrive on offering what looks like the most bang for your buck, but then you start figuring out where they cut corners when things break. Example my lemon colorado got the entire rear window replaced at 23k miles. Why? The slider locks into a plastic piece, that plastic piece is glued on.

Fiat was a rust bucket. MR2 mk1 was a cheap relaible commuter car. Mk2 was a very expensive over engineered bubble car. MK3 was a fun to drive terrible car to daily due to no storage space. It was also underpowered as not to compete with the elise. Fiero was a compromised parts bin car that GM killed just as it was

Eh, I don’t think replacing a 30 year old bomber we reduced production numbers on due to the cold war ending is the problem. The problem is that we do this with all aspects of the military. Our love of aircraft carriers for example is so far beyond overkill that it isn’t even funny. Our need for a million man army in

Nope, totally normal. Two of my ex’s had focuses with this flaming pile. Both of their cars had issues, both had numerous repairs. Both never worked right.

It was also reliable when the german tanks weren’t. It also existed in numbers which the german tanks didn’t. The germans had a problem of constantly trying to move on to the next best thing. America didn’t our military considered upgrading, ran the numbers and figured it was smarter to stick with what they had with a

Its not even that, the real question is who has a use for this? Its not a collector’s piece. Its not useful for current racing. 2014 F1 cars are not being used by privateers. So who is going to buy it?

Agreed, I stepped into a dealership to test drive a maita. Currently have a truck and when it gets lemoned was debating going back to a miata. (I bought a 13 club spec new and have owned a mazda3). Dealership experience was awful. I was ignored for 15 minutes and sat at a table while I watches sales people talk to

This was made to show off the viper’s engine in the 90s. It was never intended to be ridden so don’t think you should hold that against this one.

I got my undergrad in game development and my masters in 3d modeling with an aim for the movie industry. Both industries treat people like garbage since everyone is expendable. Soon as I graduated and was old enough to see what kind of life was ahead I became a software developer for *boring* companies. No sympathy if

Sorta, depends on how much and how often you tow. Case and point. I towed about my max load on my colorado last weekend. I had to keep speeds to 65 mph so that the engine wasn’t hammering away at 4500 rpm for hours on end. Got to do this while making 11 mpg. The diesel version would have pulled the load at 70 and

Gm gave up on my lemon. Won’t replace it so this doesn’t surprise me.
