I am pretty sure it’s common knowledge that IRL, V8s like corvettes get very similar mileage to turboed 4 cylinders, no?

Hmm, maybe I’ve been meeting the wrong people, but just about all the wealthy people I know, are also the ones most likely to want to chase down the best deals on their major purchases...

Yeah, I wonder when Subaru is going to let the Boxer meme go, they’ve designed them for many, many years now and still haven’t sorted out many of the endemic issues with them.

>tuning onto TV

Wait, so the person went to all the trouble to do a swap, chose an engine that was still vulnerable to the IMS bomb, and didn’t actually get that much more hp outta it?

2-ish liter cars with well over 300hp are inherently gonna need loads of boost, which means the engine is highly strung and reliability suffers, no thanks indeed..

At the end of the day, its still 80++k for a cayman that sounds like its been EJ-swapped, I would love to know sales figures for the 718 vs the old caymans

I fail to see how using a rotary as a range extender would be better than just chopping a pushrod v8 in half and using that instead. A shrunken OHV V4 should be similar in compactness while being way less finicky about maintenance and emissions (lower RPM operation), all the while having similar power density.

Huh, weren’t Cayennes supposed to be the dogs of the bunch reliability-wise for Porsche cos they shared alot with other VAG products?

Agreed, in most major Asian cities putting the top down is either an invitation for sweating your ass off, or for breathing in pollution, sometimes both, let BMW chase the convertible market.

Why this thing instead of the infinitely newer:

Since people are suggesting the CTS-V left and right, what’s wrong with it’s little brother the ATS-V, it’s a smaller, lighter car, and since no one seems to want Caddy sedans, they should be available off the lot at well under $60,000, pretty good deal to me.

For the quarter mile time, that trap speed is super low..

It’s amazing that it took 11 seasons, with all them tech improvements, to even top the record.

Well, he can afford to live in Vancouver, so $50k for a car is chump change by comparison.

A used R8 for 60 grand sounds like a maintenance nightmare...

A mid-engine, 3 motor hybrid supercar that gets it’s lunch eaten by a *Camaro* of all things, is massively complicated (maintenence), and is associated with a brand that pensioners drive? Yeah 100k seems correct.

It’s not that rich people don’t care for saving money, many of the wealthiest people I know are also the cheapest, it’s that their version of ‘saving money’ is defined a different way.

A version with dat 1.5L turbo to the rest of the world, I NEEDS IT.

6 individual cylinder heads? Damn that makes almost any US V8 look like childs play in comparison.
