Doug, I wrote this up in advance so I could be the first to congratulate you on your new {Skyline}! After reviewing my suggestion, I can see that you simply couldn't resist the allure of a British, V12, RWD grand tourer, and decided you just had to have a {Skyline}! While many have complained about the {Skyline}'s…

The video is short on tech details, but what we can tell is that the RS has a propensity for sliding tom foolery. Now, does that mean it's all-wheel drive? Some of us think so, while others think that it has one of Ford's famously complicated front diffs, like the RevoKnuckle, that enable sliding that a front wheel…

I swapped my fluid and pad and they still got too hot. There's no air in there and the torque vectoring system just adds to the problem. Most of the time it's fine. I boiled one caliper, once with StopTech 660 fluid on Hawk DTC-60s and Centric High Carbon blanks on the second day of high performance driving. I'm going…

"this still seems a much more realistic prospect than the dream-like Elio"

The average Joe hasn't really bought R/C planes in the past. The planes were bought and flown by hobbists that took the time to learn how to fly properly.

It's not.

The Audi R8. The low-end, conservative gentleman's supercar. The BMW 3-series of supercars. When you see an R8 you don't lose your mind. You go "oh, cool, an R8." Full-stop, not exclamation. The same will be true of the NSX.

Focus ST. I hear nothing but great things about it as a car. Yet the Lightning Lap time it produced was as non impressive as it gets, getting beat by the V6 Mustang which costs about the same amount similarly equipped. From those I have seen at the track myself, the lack of a really limited slip destroys the brakes…

Wait... how are these "somehow" amazing on the track? No duhh when you take a stock Delta and convert it into a racecar it's going to be quite the track car.

You're in Austin - I'm in Austin! You should totally give me a ride. Or at least show up at the Spokes Tech Day this Sunday at Eagle Transmission so we can look the car over. Stef can get you details.

Umm, that's not what Gordon Lightfoot said.......

Ford has done this before!

Well, neither has Europe. Nobody knows how to make an affordable sports car except the Japanese, apparently.

As one of the young people your brand is supposed to be marketing to (23 with an enthusiast twist) I really like the iM for many of the same reasons I liked the Vibe, err Matrix. But it needs more than the 13xHP the Corolla has in order for me to purchase. Even if you don't go full hot hatch, the 170-180 HP range…

Would you prefer a car that weighs more or a part you will never touch be kind of squishy?

Chevy is supposedly looking to get back into the cheap sports car market ala GM's former Solstice/Sky, and they had a concept a few years back with the Code 130R, so I don't think saying they haven't learned how isn't accurate, just that they don't have a business case for it.

They work in person... I just checked one out yesterday. They are not awkward from any angle in person.

Similar things were said when someone put a wing on a F1 car.
