GM needs to get in on the action and make a motorbike V4 based on their LS/LT platform more like, please based god make that happen...

As far as I can tell, this is damn close to a rebodied AMG GT with a stick, so yeah....

You do know that an OEM is (was) selling a muscle car based on an old 90s platform, with 800+hp, drag radials + teensy front wheels, right out of the factory, and that the same OEM is also selling a full-sized luxury SUV with 700+hp, right? As far as insane things go I’d say that’s right up there...

If only a more serious outfit, like say GM, took a serious crack at miniaturizing their small-blocks for bikes...

Forget the speed, just LISTEN TO THAT NA V10 SING THE SONG OF ITS PEOPLE!

Admist all the “why isn’t this just a CLS” comments..

It’s real funny how MB’s most hard-core sports car is outpowered by 3 sedans with the same engine under the hood.

Given the torque curves and figures for modern cars are far higher thanks to turbocharging, more gears just seems like diminishing returns at this point. Stuff like Camaro ZL1s have 10-speed autos despite having an engine that makes like 500 lb/ft at 1500rpm with ginormous amounts of midrange, is it really necessary

I hear all the time about VAG being unreliable nightmares to run and maintain, does that affect Porsches as well? Anecdotes from owners would be nice.

Genuinely curious, is there anything that stops Subaru from putting the FA20 in their STI instead of the old EJ,one would think that if you’re charging 50 grand for a subbie that’s the least that can be done..

More students well educated in personal finance leads to less bad financial decisions leads to less business for Auto financing and dealerships, if that’s not a reason why schools don’t do more personal finance courses I don’t know what is.

It’s not that it only has 205hp, it’s where that 205hp is located, right at the top of the revband, with a mid-range torque hole to get through first. A Civic Si has the same rated peak horsepower but murders the FA20 in terms of area under the curve inthe Dyno, so would be faster in real world driving where you’re

Given the prices I keep seeing for older Subaru wagons, I really doubt 5 years and 100k miles will make enough difference to make your Legacy worth ”next to nothing”.

It’s nearly always a better bargain to buy used than new cars... Except for subarus it seems, those damn things laugh at mortal concepts like “depreciation”.

I take it that he hasn’t seen the inside of many 777 cabins....

The age of the ludicrously fast, ludicrously expensive, ludicrously rare hypercar is officially here.

Where do you get a winter tire such that it’s low profile and wide enough to cover your Porsche wheels??

A couple of miles an hour... in every single corner is a massive, massive advantage that can outweigh the most stark of power differences, not to mention the huge advantage that a car has transitioning from steady state acceleration to steady state braking to steady state cornering and etc. A Corvette Grand Sport can

Your 600cc Superbike might eat a Viper ACR or whatever on the straights, but it’s dead meat on every single braking zone and corner, of which tracks have many.

Unlike drag strips, tracks have corners. A 600cc Superbike might well eat a Viper ACR on the straights but it’d be fighting big grip and braking deficits in every. single. corner..
