That's a nice VW Rabbit.

“We look at, how does the car work together,” some random aftermarket tuner said. “What is the chassis balance, what is the powertrain for that, and where we landed on that—900hp 2Jz swap provides us with the best combination of vehicle power and acceleration to the weight and chassis.”

I just want to know if it can make a right turn at 8 mph without breaking the back end loose.

I kind of don’t care. The images so far shows a car that is nowhere near as cool or unique as the original.

Delete all the emissions crap and get a good 91 or 93 tune on it. That’s the only way to fix the problems with these engines.

How dare you back up your statements with facts? This is America dammit. 

Hey dipshit, the employees (as in, the ones doing the actual journalism) are not the employers. It’s their literal job to “throw stones”.

I think they know it will be a disappointment, so are just trying to keep “toyota” in the news.

I think Acura did the same thing with the NSX. They knew it wouldn’t sell and couldn’t be priced where it needed to, so they haloed it out... made people talk about it for ages just so their name would show up.

I was always under the impression that those signs in valet lots and impound lots and at auto shops and whatnot that say “we are not liable, yadda yadda yadda” don’t actually hold any water from a legal standpoint. That’s what I was always told, anyway. Or at least what I’ve read online before.

Caring more about what people think of your car than having harmless fun? Get a Camry. I’m 36 and love the immature exhaust on my Abarth, I hope I never become old and lame.

my ex-wife had ideas, luckily i didn’t buy into them

Most hairdressers don’t want a three-pedal car.  And a MINI isn’t a BMW.

I once saw one that someone had bolted angle iron to underneath to keep it from breaking in half. 

And then what to do with the other 16 grand?

Name brand components aside, the SV650 has the Hyosung beaten in one pretty much irrefutable way: Fuel injection. The Hyosung is carbureted. In 2018.

“I am a 50 year old white male.”
I suspect that summarizes their problems.

Also as someone that owns a liter v-twin superbike, rattling your godands off is actually not a selling v-twin feature. I imagine part of the HD cost comes from the gallon of red threadlocker needed to keep all the chrome trim attached.
