I’ve been contemplating going down to 17s on my speed3.  With how damn bad the roads are getting, I’d much rather have the extra sidewall.

Wasn’t the Caliber a clean-sheet design?  Or was Chrysler just trying to make everyone think that?

Don’t forget the ACR version!  They came with adjustable Konis from the factory, as well as a some suspension tweaks and better gearing in the transmission.  And I’m sure a few other little mods I’m forgetting.

This is the worst part of car culture. “I didn’t want it, but I thought other people would pay lots of money for it, so I just shoved in a closet for 10 years!”

Yup. Griefers gonna grief, this just changes the method by which they’ll do it.

When I finally just conceded on FWD, I was able to get everything else I wanted in a car that was half the price. And since I don’t do track days or autocross anymore, I don’t push the car hard enough where FWD is an honest detriment.

I still don’t understand why the Abarth didn’t get a detuned version of the 1.7L from the 4C.  That seemed like such an obvious choice for the car.

I would save my hate for people who willingly own, like, a fucking Expedition, which is not only boring but is also big and stupid. Get outta here with that nonsense.

You’re missing my point, and probably intentionally. The comparison of apples and bmx bikes is the difference in constraints put upon a tuner in a shop making a drift car and a team of engineers working on a production car.

Going sideways really improves the efficiency of 2-55, 2-60, and 2-70 AC systems.

Supra never was a sports car, though. It’s always been more of a GT/touring car.

I mean, yeah, sure, “sports car” in the sense that it was used in motorsport, but if you’re gonna use that definition then LeMons racing allows pretty much anything to be a sports car.

What does knowledge have to do with it?  The tuner and the team of engineers are working under entirely different sets of constraints.  It’s barely even an apples and oranges comparison, more like apples and BMX bikes.

I was about to say you missed the 911, but I saw it there in orange.

I think European Collectibles took on that liability when they issued a certificate of authenticity. The ultimate question will be if they did so intentionally, in which case this is definitely fraud, or if they did so ignorantly, in which case it might still be fraud (falsely presenting themselves as having the…

When I’ve seen that picture before it was labeled as a comparison between a 5.0 (windsor) and the DOHC 4.6L mod motor.

The old WRX had a 2.5-liter turbo boxer four rated at 230 horsepower, and the new one’s got a smaller and newer 2.0-liter with 268 HP.

It’s a lot more complex than just overall displacement that determines “big” vs “small” for an engine, it’s the displacement of the individual cylinders and sometimes the overall cylinder count.

For most engines, normal is about 0.5L/cylinder. A 2.0L 4-cylinder, a 3.0L six, a 6.0L V12... all of these are pretty…

{glances over} Yep, looks like a 911.
