A used Model 3 Performance is going to win this test for the four-wheel category. They run mid-11s and can be had for under $20k. I don’t think it’s possible to beat that with a stock car.

False. The answer is wagon. Fight me!

Best advice: Make the wife ditch the Ranger for a minivan or an Explorer and keep your fun family car. Honestly, minivans are the only good vehicles for taking dogs on road trips. Their crates fit comfortably in the rear and they can freely walk around the back if you want to let them out.

I’m all for your freedoms, but look around, it’s been a week and the mass imprisonment of innocent people has already started.

I don’t understand why this exists, outside of pandering to the wagon-obsessed crowd. It’s supposed to be the lightweight, track focused version of the M3, but the Touring adds more weight than the CS removes.

I doubt he actually hit 168mph. It’s possible, as that’s the rated top speed for a C5. But the 0-150 time is damn near 40 seconds. So even starting at highway speeds, you’re looking at probably a minute of uninterrupted WOT to hit 168.

I can’t understand why in this day and age of automation, a company like Toyota still refuses to let their customers custom order their cars like BMW does.

Seems like a fairly light duty truck for hauling things that truly need a crane.

I wonder how true the scarcity of parts actually would be. So much of this car is shared with existing volvos it’s basically a just souped up 2 door V60 PE.

Unless you’re a collector, I don’t see the point. Parts for this is going to be unobtainium and nobody is going to know how to work on them. You’re going to be flying solo or shipping it out to one of the 8? regional Polestar service centers in the country.

Instead of complaining about clickbait, I just don’t click on it. As a result my feed is full of good creators (savagegeese) and I have no clue who any of these other people are (except TDIB, which I’m on subbed to b/c of his old Mustang content).

What a rip off. This shows just how far the Shelby name has fallen. Carol probably should have sold his name and business to Ford and let Ford’s passionate engineers continue his legacy. As shown by the S550 GT350, Ford engineers know how to do things right.

I adore googie architecture.

I’m guessing “crash” also includes scrapes, light taps, mostly harmless bumps, because if not.....200 actual crashes in 12 days is insane.

It’s great that this works for you. In my experience, dealers are pretty aware that this behavior signals a difficult customer and they just won’t engage beyond “come into the dealership to chat.”

I’m with you. But works best if you have a lot of time or aren’t picky about what you’re driving.

Eh, some people just want an old school driving experience. I liked that the STI hadn’t really changed between 2004 and 2021, since the 2004 version was so much fun, and the VA kept 95% of the experience.

If it doesn’t have a variably locking, proper center differential, it’s not an STI.

The with S209, the big improvements were in the chassis. I think it was prodrive who added something like 1000 structural welds to the chassis based on their race cars. You could easily add 50HP to an STI, so it wasn’t really about the added power.

I love this channel for busting a lot of the myths regarding tires. I always ran my winter tires wide and at 25psi in the snow, because the host is right, it’s a night and day difference in traction. Yet, so many “car guys” would comment about how my tires were too low on air and too wide to be effective in the snow.…
