Volvo straight six in the prev gen XC60, V70, etc? Twin-scroll turbos for 300 HP. I loved that Volvo until it was totaled in an accident.   It had a few maintenance issues, but none too expensive and none engine related.  (Now that Haldex AWD, that was a bit more problematic).  

The GM 3800 has to be up there. Didn’t matter if you were drag racing, driving the Indy 500, or going to the grocery store over a ~40 year period, it had ya covered.

Racing pedigree? Powered some of the fastest cars of the world in its day? Good enough for a 43 year production life? Just looks really pretty? The Jaguar XK has all of these traits, and I silently judge anyone who transplants a Chevy 350 in its place.

So what you’re saying is that there will be a point at which I’m driving ONLY 30 year-old cars.

Yes. A V12 Ferrari is worth about 100k MSRP over a V8 model. Most do not like pure EVs due to lack of revving.

I’m wondering what Ferrari will do now... When their straight line performance will end up being matched by other random american sedans (tesla), what makes Ferrari a Ferrari? Less confort? No awesome sound to drool over? No beautiful engine to look at? This switch to electric is NOT a good thing for supercars... all…

It’s one of the uggo Masis from the time when they were reliability nightmares. But on the other hand it’s an OEM twin turbo (the first, if I remember correctly) with fully modifiable suspension for five grand.

Fuck it, nice price.

I’d rather have one of the later fuel injected models, but this is fuck it money for a Maserati;, if you can wrench, this is looks like an inexpensive way to be both the weirdo and cool guy at meets. Why not, NP.

My Camaro LT1 has 455 Hp, 455tq is RWD with a world class chassis... oh and MSRP is under 40k. Too bad everyone forgot it exists!

The blue interior looks SO good in person. It’s a lot like the blue they offered on the C7 Corvette for a minute.

It also feels more honest than the Supra. I don’t always hate badge-engineered cars, but part of the mythos around Toyota in general and previous Supras specifically was a vehicle built in Japan, The Toyota Way, and an engine that was overbuilt for the task, leading to long life and/or fantastic support for…

I am 100% ready for blue suede interiors please.

The Porsche Cayman / Boxster chassis is essentially a modified chassis from the 1st gen but people are cool with that. But the 350z-z being on a modified chassis is a problem for people apparently. 

I’m of the opinion that more manufacturers should have long term platforms and models, it’s kinda insane how often most change designs and radically update platforms. It would be so much better for everyone if a decade of manufacturing a model were the norm. You have the opportunity to continually improve a…

Nothing wrong with heavily revising an already good chassis. I bet that if the S2000 chassis was still around as new today, very few would be complaining that it still exists. And realistically, no one should be complaining. It’s either a heavily revised chassis. Or nothing at all. Your choice, haters.

This is great to hear. You know, it’s funny. For the last decade, I wrote off the Z line as boring, cheap, common, and outdated. But when I heard the 370 was finally getting put out to pasture, I came to realize that by virtue of being old and unchanged, the Z line had become something special and increasingly rare: a …

I promise I’m not a strict Manual 4 Liiiiiifeeee guy, but they really did themselves a disservice by making this auto only.

Two kids here, drive a GTI. Modern hatches are plenty big enough for two car seats.

Nothing better than taking your kid out for a ride in the sports car in a few years though. Best way to get them hooked on cars.
