It’s ok when 170 hp of saab fury hits all at once, like an on off switch, because it’s boosted... It’s not like you’ll go all paul walker and die right then and there... Put 4 times that power in a car made out of carbon fiber, give the driver 6 glasses of wine at the country club, and combine... Let me know how that…

One day it'll dawn on them that you can never lead a market, or be anything other then a distant last place runner, by copying other people's work, which is already outdated by the time you get to it.

Or not, and go under the front bumper or over the hood like happens countless times every year.

LOL I love the high tech ABS and stability control on that hyundia / kia? .... Looks like something built in the 70's. What the hell.

72 month loan, you mean. ;)

Ha! They go for a moderate amount of time with only SLIGHT total engine tear downs to do headgaskets.

~40 more days till mine lands. Already shopping for parts. ;)

I wouldn't say the GLI interior is really any cheaper then a base GTI interior. I have both a MK6 gti and a MK6 gli at my work- driven them both extensively. While it might not share body panels, the MK6 GLI uses the same suspension, same brakes, same engine, etc. The seats are very similar. All the parts we make fit…

Other then the castings and the crank / camshafts, the V8, V10- are both made of the same parts. Which all come from a GTI basically. ;)

There is a good video on youtube of a guy digging out his R8 V10 and then proceeding to DD it through a blizzard to get some groceries. lol

The Jetta is not a4 sized. Park one beside a B8 chassis a4 and look. The a4 is like 6" longer and nearly 500 pounds heavier.

Someone who doesn't want the same exact truck for $10k more?

Don't fret- most of those cars you mentioned will be replaced by new, MQB chassis based variants in the US market soon. :)

They have that, it's called a GLI, and surprise: it's the same price as a GTI.

The mazdaspeed 3 is a buggy compared to a golf R. Sorry.

You seem to have entirely missed the fact that 2014 was the LAST year of vw selling an extremely outdated product line, built on chassis going back over a decade... The MK6 golf / jetta was a 6 year old face lift on an already 6 year old chassis.... By todays standards it was outgunned in most categories, although…

Two engine ecu's is not that uncommon. Ferrari's from 360 modena v8 and up (that I'm aware of), 2x bosch me7 and later MED9 etc.

Audi R8 v10- 2 ecu's, along with it's flamborghini cousin, and so forth. It's how you build supercars out of regular car parts and minimize development work.

I thought I did well with my straight, clean title 70k mile 996tt- chipped, coilovers, exhaust- $28k. 'Twas a motivated seller, I believe.

Ya, one in the center, one on each side on a huge angle with a bunch of ducting to force air through it and out the bottom in front of the tires. Don't run into stuff with watercooled 911's or you'll be replacing $1500 of radiators and random plastic plumbing stuff. ;)

Should be funny when aftermarket guys delete all the load reduction and so forth and then instead of slowing down they just explode.
