Sad to lose a racer, happy he went out doing what he clearly loved.

Im disappointed in how quiet it is. I get that its a turbo and those usually quiet things down a bit, and I get that wolfgang ulrich of audi lemans fame once mentioned that noise is wasted energy. If I have 700 hp under my right foot, id prefer something a bit more maniacal.

so VW took a page out of the FCA playbook?

maybe its because of my ownership of an 06 STi that has made me adept at spotting the fakes.

Which makes perfect sense. I realized in the gif header you can make out STi Brembo’s under the hood, that said the film appears to communicate that the car is in fact a WRX, whether modified or not the interior shots, and exterior shots are all wrx.

Yes, of course. That said, the color as far as I can tell is the stock color “Shining red”.

so car enthusiasts dont give a shit if an enthusiast driven website cannot properly identify a common enthusiast car?

Slightly disappointed Jalopnik cannot properly identify a very common enthusaist subaru. Its NOT an STi, its a regular GD chassis (06 or 07) WRX.

This. 100%. While not as smooth as a dual clutch, the lack of refinement is welcomed. Nothing beats an s6 shift flat out @ redline.. the click bang of it all is fantastic, and after tuning with the TTFS tune, SMG is almost modern.

Truth, I’ve owned two, and honestly I love SMG. its never given me any issues, and its fun to drive. the manual gets all the praise, I totally get it, but the stock box has one of the crappiest shifters I’ve ever used. Long, vague, and rubbery.

from a DD perspective you’re absolutely right, but a better comparison would be an e46 m3. The e39 weighs a full thousand pounds more than the ev0 and is an entirely different class of car.

great review, but I disagree with the “B rating”. I feel jalopnik moved from the “numbers game” to better differentiate the performance versus “live with” aspects of the car. Honestly, evo’s don’t make great DD’s, just like STi’s dont make great DD’s. Small fuel tank, terrible fuel economy, rough ride, uncomfortable…

Its still poor management of the issue, and their response is strictly reactionary. Its great that they’re “making good” but it doesn’t excuse the poor management of the situation from the get go. Honestly the whole debacle should have been handled by management the beginning anything started to go off the tracks.

Visually the BMW GT’s look very “top heavy” and taller, which also makes the car appear to ride at a higher ride height. Then it transitions abruptly into an odd version of the bangle butt. Proportionally its all wrong, but for a reason I cannot quite put my finger on. Maybe its the fact that it makes it look like a…

I prefer Jesus Joggers

The scariest thing is that Russia has figured out the American mentality, and they’ve learned how to manipulate us emotionally and irrationally through their social media campaigns, effectively controlling our population and men and women serving our country. While I have no doubt we’re attempting to do the same, I…

this is for the beetle?

im fairly certain for $40 million, and a complete and total lack of performance expectations due to his shit car, i’ll race as many races as asked of me, I mean, what does he have to complain about? Seeing a couple more places in the world from a fold up lawn chair and collecting a fat paycheck? I get money isn’t…

porche Cayenne? I always assumed it was named after the pepper.

Sad, but cool to see notable racers donating to the cause like Andy Lally
