What would win in a street race between this, and an Altima GTR?

That’s a whole lot more weight up front for not a whole lot more power (plus more brakes, cooling, tires). The market for the GR86 is weight obsessed. Another 150lbs would push this over 3k pounds and eliminate it’s entire reason for existing.

This is a GR86 body on fitted overtop of a GR Corolla.  That basically confirms what they’ve been saying the whole time, getting a turbo to fit an 86 was so difficult that it was easier to just chassis swap the thing.

And the laughable assertion that it drives as well as the Type R means I should expect to see a bunch of these trackside soon?

I love these cars. They stand on their own, but the fact that they are so great while also being reasonably priced is the icing on the cake.

Hyundai is still Hyundai. People have been claiming Hyundai has been turning the corner on quality for well over 10 years now.

I love the GR86, and as a former Celica and FR-S owner, I’m glad to see toyota finally bring the two back together. I long felt like the 86 should have been named Celica.

This is the sign you’re not going to like the candidate that’s hiring you.

I hope the porch pirate and the truck owner’s insurance sues the fuck out of this guy. This dude caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage over a $20 package that Amazon would comp.

Even a wrecked Ferrari is worth a ton of money, just for the VIN.

People can disagree with me here, but I legitimately feel that the Ferrari “ownership experience” is a good chunk paying for a badge.

We already live in this world.

The GT3 has the benefit of being a track-oriented car. Which is the one place where turbos don’t shine. The added torque doesn’t matter much because you’re almost always keeping the engine above 5k (you’d likely be a gear up with a turbo engine, keeping wheel torque about the same) and N/A provides much more…

When MotorTrend tested it back in the day, it hit 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and ran a 13.9-second quarter-mile, which really isn’t bad for a rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan that’s nearly 20 years old and stuck with an automatic transmission.

I would not classify an Audi of this generation as a good value. Nice car, sure, but good value: no. They are expensive to repair, finding parts is getting difficult, and even finding competent people who will work on them is getting hard, my local places have 5-7 week wait times. You can pick these up cheap because…

Today, we have two ways to spend too much for an AWD minivan: $70,000 for an electric volkswagen with the wireless Google maps set towards the future, or $25,000 for a tealish green leather clad time machine with the dial set straight back to the good old days.

I hope VW builds a smaller version.  I would love for actual “mini” vans to make a come back, because there’s nothing mini about the current crop of vans on the market.

Who knows if you sign away your right to sue when you sign all those papers for a test drive though. It’s stupid that’s even a thing but here we are.

This sucks because there’s no good solution here. FWIW, this is not like the KIA Boyz, because those cars didn’t have immobilizers installed. This seems like they have expanded the technique used to steal Camaros and Challengers to G35s.

Kind of a dick move. I see where the police are coming from, but I don’t think this solution is going to change the dealers behavior. Why would the dealership care? They aren’t paying the fines (unless they sell a vehicle, apparently).
