I genuinely think that 400hp is the break even point for stick-shift vs auto. The further below that power figure a sports car gets, the most a stick-shift adds to the driving experience, and the further beyond that figure the less relevant/more distracting it gets.

Just wait for the mile-long lines to get a four-door SUV Corvette.

The clutch can’t take any more power, unfortunately.  Even a simple tune will drastically shorten clutch life.

Dodge Viper owners successfully sued Dodge when the prices on the Vipers were slashed to move units. Now those same Vipers are worth a well over double OG MSRP...I’m curious if EV owners will pull the same stunt.

Right, newest cars aren’t generally the mess filled nightmare people make them out to be. Most of the components remain unchanged throughout the run of the vehicle. The occasional revision cuts both ways, sometimes a change improves a parts durability, other times, it cuts costs because the original one was way…

Anyone who claims that EVs are more eco-friendly than a modern ICE is fooling themselves.

Let me get this straight: you want to get an NSX, remove the high-revving V6, and replace it with a smaller high-revving 4 cylinder (assuming k swap = k20)?

An R34 GT-R. Since I live in the USA, getting one of these in my garage is an enormous (read: costly) undertaking. It’s also pretty risky; if someone messes up the paperwork, the Feds might knock down my garage door and seize it.

Toyota does technically race Prius.

My dad had a 97 T/A WS6 6MT back in the day.

For some reason I’ll never get my head around, most people would rather have a big, boxy SUV over a cool, sleek station wagon.

4 doors and AWD?

Or a 27 year old base model Camaro...

After drift events, I’d be flossing rubber out from between my teeth.

I find it disingenuous when people complain about the weight of EVs, but ignore that the bulk of EVs are lighter than the top 3 best selling vehicles in the USA.

so you’re just left with a 25 year old sports car that would get its lunch money taken by, like, an EcoBoost Mustang.

This is true. A WRX was my dream car in school, and I went on to pick up a pig nose and modified the crap out of it.

Shitty wheels was the fashion in the 90s. Everything was either chrome, which looked like fake plastic, or that matte steel, which looked like fake plastic.  I think we forget because hardly any stock wheels lasted more than a few years on a car.

This is a good buy. It’s high enough mileage that you can actually drive it around without feeling bad about destroying the value. And there’s no use in modifying these anymore, since most modern cars will put even a modded one to shame. So it will be easy to keep it stock, original, and unrestored.

I love bright colors, but most of my cars have been grey because that’s what the dealership had. I care more about performance options than color, so if the choice is between my favorite color with no performance options, or a decked out grey one, I’ll pick the grey.
