Seems like it might be a great idea to skip cars made in 2022 to 2025(26? 27?) because of this chip shortage. Pay the same price(or even more) for less. It’s bullshit.

No dice. Buying this will force me to sign a legal agreement in my head stating that, “My VW will be faster with a tune” every time I get in to discussions about comparing stock VWs to other comparable cars. And I greatly dislike logical fallacies.

I don’t even want a newer 911 cab. It’s coupe or targa, or nothing.

Bring lots of money. If you think you have a “chance”, you don’t have enough money. People are going in to this auction to win.

Coupe or targa, hell yes. Convertible 911, never.

I think this car and its other badge variants were just doomed from the beginning. Japanese sportscars were at its prime when this car launched in the mid-late 2000s. Very, very few people bought this over an S2000, or even an NC. Or hell, any other Japanese sportscar at the time. It was launched at exactly the wrong…

That’s rare! It’s not often you find a JDM part that works better than one made by a domestic company. I do actually have a Cusco tire iron that I’ve had for years. It’s one of those which it slides apart and you can store the skinny piece inside the fat piece.

Oh the dumb expensive shit 20-somethings buy for their car, only to discard it when they’re no longer interested. I couldn’t tell you the amount of 20-somethings I knew back in the day that bought and installed thousands of dollars in mods for their cars, only to trade it in for a new car with the mods still…

Back in the day when I was really in to JDM car culture, I would buy JDM parts instead of ones made domestically. They cost like 3 times as much, and was no better than a domestic company’s equivalent products. Some might be even worse, to be honest.

I’v been seeing a lot more Genesis Coupes being converted in to track/autocross toys as of late. I wondered why, but you just answered it. Cooling is the number one thing on any car claimed to be ‘track ready’. Power and handling come second. It sucks the Hyundai didn’t utilize that for their marketing on the VN. I…

I hope they fixed the overheating of Type Rs in smaller, tighter tracks. It sucks having to buy this for $50k with markup, and then spending another $2-3k on a bigger radiator and intercooler, and tune. The FK8 was supposed to be a track ready car... ready for 2 laps until heat soak kicks in and you’re taking turns…

This is prime r/leopardsatemyface material.

I’d say every state has at least one, if not many good driving roads if you look hard enough. This may or may not include Florida.

Yea I’m convinced that Altima buyers, whether used or new, have to sign a legal agreement stating that they must not register their car for at least a year after they bought it.

The official car of how Nissan stays in business here in the USA.

I’d go as far as 2010, after the S2000 and 350Z got the axe. The RX8 stuck around a little longer, but was doomed to obscurity because it didn’t have any competition to be tested against. People kind of just forgot about them. From 2005-2010 was when the 4WD Evo and WRX/STI was huge. Old WRXs were cheap. Subaru has…

Nah, they’ll just use the Nismo badge. The SE-R moniker died with the B16 Sentra. Whether that Renault bodied Nissan badged, compromised econobubble deserved the SE-R name is a different story.

I saw a ton of these in San Diego when I lived there there in the 2000s. Terrorizing the I-5 before we all even knew that the Altima would be terrorizing the entire country’s highways today. It’s fucking sad what Nissan has become. But one would argue that the release of that generation’s Altima was the same timeframe…

This is lame. Suzuki won a championship in 5 years after having been gone for a few years. That in itself is pretty damn impressive since the likes of Aprilia and KTM aren’t really all the competitive.

Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, KS. Only an hour away from me. Can drive there for SCCA Track Nights and then drive back home.
