Interesting. I know if anyone asks me, I advise them to go with the Ford Performance tune/upgrades on the Focus ST. They don’t provide the flashy HP numbers of some of the other tunes, but you get a huge torque boost at usable RPMs. And it’s CHEAP. And it’s WARRANTIED.

The Fusion is a great car that still looks really good, and I see like a hundred of them every day on the road. Its power has been lacking in all trims vs the competition since its inception, but that has almost zero influence on purchases for most people.

Please don’t ruin the things I love :(

The Alpine a110 has 250 hp at ~2400 lbs. The GT86 has 200 hp at ~2700 lbs. The Alpine a110 is mid-engined, and the GT86 is front-engined.

Goddamn that mark viii is bad as FUCK. I always loved the driver oriented interiors of big coupes of the nineties and early oughts.

Ugh.

no.

Man, the CT200h is a huge missed opportunity, IMO. When I first saw one I legit did a double-take. They looked really cool when they first came out (and still do, IMO). Then I found out it was hybrid ONLY. I feel like if they had just stuck a normal powerplant in that thing, or went full electric, they would have had…

This is literally the only way I will watch movies in theaters. In fact, now that this has started in my area, I’ve actually seen MORE movies in the last 2 years than probably the previous 10 years combined.

Huh? Why wouldn’t the marketing department set the targets? Don’t you want to engineer your product towards what customers want?

Michael, what is the “correct” amount of torque, and at what RPM shall it be achieved?

Pro tip:

It’s soooooo good. Freespace 2 is better, but there is a continuous story between 1 and 2, so I recommend both.

Please lord, no more horrifyingly terrible Battlefront games. PLEASE. Such a gigantic waste of the franchise.

Eh, the Star Wars space sims weren’t THAT complex. I think they were on the same level as Freespace 1 and 2 (Freespace 2 was the best space sim of all time—Star Wars games included—and I’ll fight you). They didn’t have the mega complex newtonian physics; just “movie” physics. They had some minor systems adjustments…

We cross-shopped a CX-5 and a Forester. The Forester easily won out. I don’t see the appeal of the CX-5, beyond looks.

Action figures, damnit! Action figures!

80's cartoon car.

Oh man I REALLY dig this car. Like, everything looks just crazy enough, while not being on the fugly side of crazy. The wheels, the interior, the engine, the color.
