We have a cars and coffee at a church. We have a rather strict no showboating / no burn outs when you leave policy. Doing so gets you banned (even if you dont screw up) from future events. so far everyone has been pretty cool with behaving.

I just want EV with >300 mi of range to

Uh.... no thats a tour bus.

downhill hitting 20+ mph on one is terrifying and the most fun one can have going in to work getting fucked by parking in a city and having to get there just as quick as walking from your normal spot.

snapping studs on a lexus isnt unusual. You cant hammer the wheel home that way. Ask my friend who also snapped two studs on a friends lexus IS250...

So a super niche situation... gotcha.

Nissan gonna nissan.  The bottom of the barrel as far as the Japanese brands go.  The FCA of the East.

Where the shit do you live that you live next to your coworkers? A town of 15?

uh.... dude.

at the point that comes into play its not about being cost effective but just doing it to do it because you either can or you like to.

I mean.... the wrx and STi I think would both be close. Both offer 6 speed manuals, the wrx will start at ~25k. Performance package seems to no longer be an option for the wrx unfortunately. That added recaros and some slightly better brake pads with brembos (along with moon roof delete). That package seems to have…

and also me staying in my car like the brave chicken shit I am lol.  Im not sure I could handle the anxiety of riding around where I live.

Man.. Im just glad it didnt kick him to the right into the truck wheels...  ugh.  sick feeling watching it.

Im glad they actually make cars still.  Not everyone wants a fucking CUV.

Stock internal FA the given safe max is generally regarded to be around 350 wheel tq (close to or past that rods start bending). Not sure on hp correlation probably in the same range of 350 whp... which means figure roughly 10-15% losses on drivetrain and slightly under 400 crank?

The few cars worth giving a shit by nissan are only the Z and GTR... thats it.

Someday ill do something dumb and roadtrip up to MI for a classic Blues V Redwings hockey game (once the divisions return to sanity)... hoping I can gander at the rust pile of fun you have at some point. Let you take my bone stock utterly boring suby for a spin for what its worth.

400 crank or wheel?

im on my 2nd wrx, so Im not talking out of my ass really. Its like anything if its got quirks... and they ALL do, VW and suby both.. plan for it and itll be fine.

I need to tune my wrx but sigh... dont have the like 1-2k to get started.  If anything to dump the stock tune which is just so fucking awful.
