You should read my comment describing my 3 month neon ownership.
I owned a Neon for a few months in high school. It was a punishment car (bought with money out of my savings account, but without my consent) after I destroyed 2 Mercedes 190E’s (wrecked the first, and killed the trans in the 2nd) to make matters worse my parents showed up with it just as track practice was getting…
He was running at a very slow pace trying to conserve the tires, there is no world in which a Lotus catches and passes Vettel if he is driving at actual race pace. Yet he was giving up around 1/2 sec a lap to Grosjean. And so he was going to end up giving up 3rd even if his tire held out those last 3 laps.
I couldn’t agree more, Never get the base engine! Even if you’re looking at a Porsche 911 Turbo you should still pony up the extra money for the S, even if it means you can't afford getting a color matched key and custom carbon fiber illuminated door sills, and leather wrapped air vents!
I would never have a base mustang...or a mustang of any variety. My point there are plenty of 6-speed Astons to choose from.
Interestingly last year when Mclaren said they were leaving Mercedes & partnering with Honda I made an (admittedly inflammatory) comment about that being a terrible idea and how I couldn’t imagine anything worse than a boosted Honda engine. I got tons of flack for that from all manner of civic driving fanboyz,…
I doubt that he considers an Accord to be a good car. I know that I would rather drive a $4,000 Mercedes than a brand new Accord. In fact I’ve done this. I could have gotten a new car when I was in high school. I had money for a down payment, and a good job, my parents offered to help me with $200 a month toward a…
Lewis, as the (clear to everyone outside nico) Mercedes #1, is far and away my favorite F1 driver. But damn he makes it hard for me to keep liking him. He’s playing right into every stereotype you can imagine in his personal life. You don’t see any of the other F1 drivers living such over the top & very public lives.…
I’m calling BS on the $14k estimate until I see some supporting data. If that paint cost $14k to fix then I predict a sharp drop in the already cheap used V8 Vantage prices
God, you’re as bad as those people who got trolled on the target Facebook page. Chrysler dug their own grave well before Mercedes came along, and Mercedes lost plenty of money trying to keep them alive. If any brand in history ever deserved to be dismembered and sold for parts it’s Chrysler. Jeep, Ram, & SRT are the…
If this car doesn’t bring +50k then I’m going to panic because I’ll be upside down on not 1 but 2 late 70’s outlaw builds....
I didn’t see anything about weight reduction. I suppose it might lose a couple pounds in the exhaust and brakes. But I can’t imagine it doing 3.1 since the APR tune is only yielding 3.2 with nearly 700hp on 100 octane. And unless Audi is neglecting to mention new turbos APR won’t be able to push it much beyond what…
My favorite thing about Audi is their modesty. They claim that 85 extra hp will make the car get to 60 .3 of a sec slower than what the current S8 actually does in real world testing. They do this with all of their cars. Every single one will beat manufacture quoted 0-60 times. Based on APR’s tune of the standard S8 I…
