The usual

That is a pretty interesting way to look at it. A 400K M-car is far more of a unicorn than a million-mile Lexus.

Agreed. I just meant trying to pull off that many miles with a modern M would run into the 6 figure range of maintenance.

I mean, the E39 M5 still took a lot of work to keep on the road. That 400k M5 is an incredible outlier. It’s certainly far more impressive than the million mile Lexus.

A car sitting in a garage makes 0 horsepower.

A star for the most intelligent post thus far, even if it's not what we wanted to hear

My guess is that they will leave it 2.4 NA, as least in the standard trim. Subaru spends a lot of effort pushing its brand in motorsports and to have a 2.4 Turbo as standard would disqualify the car from competing in production class stage rally. As of the 2019 ARA rule book, the limits are 2.5L NA and 1.6L turbo for…

So think about this then. The average age of a Subaru WRX buyer is 35, and their average income is almost $100k. Clearly, some millennials are doing fine, they just don't like muscle cars.  

Dodge also gives financing to anyone who can fog a mirror.

A thoroughly modern, launch controlled, 80 millisecond shifting (1/3 the blink of an eye), magnetic ride suspended, anti-locked boosted, traction controlled vehicle with 30% more contact patch, 23% more hp, 30% more torque....

This right here. The 0-100-0 stat is part of Shelby history. To not understand that when talking about the new GT500 and why Ford used it is to show a lack of that history.  

One metric we all want but rarely see is the 60-80mph “out of my way, grandma!” metric.

There is history in this: The original 427 Cobra was legendary for many years its 0-100-0 feat, so much so that Motor Trend years later pitted the Viper against it. Remember, back in the 1960s, most cars had terrible brakes and a lot of weight to handle. The Cobra legend arose because it was essentially a race car for…

0-100-0 is a better metric to use than 0-60 or even 1/4 mile. It is 2 (TWO) metrics in one!

Okay but whats the lightest weight lowest price option? Can I actually get some manual cloth seats and shed about 110lbs of weight out of this thing? I feel like they really should give us a hard core option here, they can keep all the fancy shcmancy stuff give me this thing with the least amount of stuff that can brea…

How many parking lot dings and poked thighs will this cause?

I’ll suckle it all day, I don’t care. The C8 is the greatest thing to happen to cars in a very long time.

Can you name another mass produced car from the last ~5 years that warrants more interest?
