I have a S3 and you can flip it to manual mode and use the paddles. The DCT makes it feel like an actual manual in gear, not some torque converted hydromatic bullshit. I’ve driven only manual cars for the prior 17 years and I don’t really miss it in a sporty daily driver.

You’re right, but there are 1200 manual CGT’s and 0 manual Enzos, and I said 85% the price. The CGT has an argument as the best manual sports car ever that isn’t made by Gordon Murray, the Enzo is cool but it doesn’t have anything close to that claim to fame.

Someone asked me last year what I thought the best value in used cars was. I said Carrera GT, which at the time was about $500-600k. These should be 85% of the price of an Enzo and for some reason they just aren’t. 

I’m not sure it’s possible to take a bad picture of a 190E Cosworth Evo II but man it didn’t stop you from trying. It’s not like it’s an F40 where most people would recognize it just from the wheels. Give us the boring photo!!!!!

well it’s not like anyone can buy a car

Split the difference and do Liberty State Park in jersey city. The common resident expression is the one thing you can find in NJ you can’t in Manhattan is a view of manhattan. They could easily close it for long enough to surface, prep, and race because it’s pretty out of the way. People moving would be the…

I’ve lived off the BRP and I live off the merritt, the upper BRP and lower TSP is far better because there is a real threat of danger after nightfall, because it’s much narrower, much twistier and there’s no shoulders, and generally speaking the ratio of cars-to-turns lets you have actual fun. The threat of danger on…

theyre not, they sell enough golf r’s to their intended audience, and enough s3's to their intended audience, which are not the same. neither of these cars flies off the shelves, so offering a s3 hatch to cater to a group of people that barely exists would sell like 200 cars a year. it doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, I have a 2016, and it’s an absolute dream. Not as firm of a ride as my RX8 but holds the road pretty similarly. It’s my first automatic in 15 years, and the DCT isn’t perfect but it’s more than capable in manual mode. Wish it had a little more rear bias. Trunk could be slightly bigger. But all these things fade…

you mean the golf r?

You already can pay to see one in a museum though

It hauls the entire line of furniture made by Fisher Price

Hey Sam I have a 2004 G35x in Western CT with your name on it. Not winning any beauty pageants but I put a few grand into getting it sorted mechanically and my wife used it as a DD in Queens for 14 months before we moved. Meets all your requirements!

Did you ever drive one of these, because I’m guessing not. The 200sx was a fast car in its day. Pretty sluggish by today’s standards but to run sub-16 in the 1/4 mile put it ahead of 325i coupes, A4’s, civic SI / CRX, etc. This was a low blow. 

The distinction between S-line and Sx or Mx / xxxM and M-sport is not one with any earnest effort. Go buy a used car with S-line and they’ll tell you it’s the same as the S-series. It’s a bullshit thing to do. 

this is a fucking steal considering a 22b STI went for $320k on BAT

“Dave is a shit commenter, not that much above hitler. When are you gonna do an expose on hitler?”

Of the cars you listed, only the Cayman is offered in a manual and in the US. The 4C was also closer to the Elise / Exige. It seems like Lotus is aiming this squarely at Porsche by offering slightly more HP and slightly less weight for slightly less money. 

This is quite possibly the most bizarre thing to appear on the inventory.

Yeah, I was thinking of what I would do if I was Mercedes, and I think I would probably do a PU swap this week or next week and take the grid penalty. Lewis is running a 3-legged dog as long as Max is on a fresher engine, it’s better to take a hit on a single race then try to hold him off with such a small points lead…
