Do you currently, or have ever, owed anyone a 10 second car?

First responders’ first thought would most likely be to get there ASAP to save as many lives as possible. It’s why there were so many first responder killed in 9/11, it’s what makes them heros.

So they went with a 6pot in the front and a single in the back?

A modern Mini Clubman would meet the 175" requirement with almost 5" to spare.

3.5 EcoBoost would make things too easy for Bradley. I say make it interesting and go Viper V10

Yes, they do exist in LHD, you just have to find one to import from parts of Asia that’s LHD.

Some performance Kei cars are actually “63hp” at the wheels, many will actually dyno at a much higher number. The 63hp is a number a manufacturer submit to the government to get the car approved for Kei class.

Quite a few will be imported into the US to pull rally duties. It’s probably the cheapest option available currently that’s FIA OKed.

Surprisingly, they actually might. This thing is sold out worldwide with a huge wait list, and Toyota is having a hard time turning out enough supply as it didn’t anticipate the demand for a bespoke hot hatch.

topgear.com just gave it hot hatchback of the year award, and the competition was quite stiff with cost not being a factor.

Kids around here likes to stuff the horizontal SR20DET into the 3 door version of that 2nd gen Micra/March. It makes for an “interesting” ride.... 400+whp FWD hatch that weights less than a Kilo.

He is the poorest of his friends.....

It’s quite alright to eat in front of the convenience store. Just no no to walking around while eating.

Was on vacation in Lapland, Finland over the past new year holiday and saw a whole lot of Tesla Model S running around, all with a bunch of aftermarket LED driving lights, in -20C weather.

Mainly for sound. You can tune the sound better with dual pipes than a single. Things such as cabin drone can be tuned out with dual resonators, and the engineers can tune for a deeper, more “muscular” sound instead of the high pitch whine associated w/ 4 cylinders.

Yep, decent pairs are hard to come by around my area. They are my favorite when it comes to large platforms: somewhat light, easy to service, and not too aggressive.

Many consider the 950s to be the pinnacle of Shimano’s craft. They began to veer toward cost cutting to compete with SRAM right around mid 00s.

Ugh, everytime Orlove posts about his bike, it just makes me feel worse about selling my wife’s Bizango a couple years ago with full 2003 XTR group, (including wheels) SID Race 100, the ultra hard to find Specialized Magnesium Bronz pedals, and Thompson Elite post for..... $500

Orlove should go for the truly obscure 80's frame and get a Panasonic or Bridgestone lugged.

Ford offers a 280hp 2.3T w/ 6spd stick FWD in the Focus ST Wagon, of course it’s not offered in the US.
