Not one of these ‘no step on snek’ motherfuckers. SMDH...Why are these simp-ass neckbeards in the trucks slowing down traffic on an interstate in the first place? Surely it’s not to intimidate the other motorists in the video. White car maybe got baited, sure, but your boy is out there piling up evidence against…

I give this about a season or two, much like the iPace series it will fail to gain are real following. For long term sustainability you’ll need multiple roadcar manufacturers to be on-board. The translation of race car to street car and brand recognition needs to be there for people to bother tuning in or showing up.…

I’d add to all this what I think it's probably the most fun bot of to top racing: TCR Europe. Hatchbacks and sportcompacts we can all relate to with aero and very close racing. Plus it’s all free on YouTube. WTCR is also on this weekend at the Ring but that needs a motortrend on demand subscription.

I kind of agree with this too. Is not that the episodes were bad but, written in a slightly different way they could have been way better. I’m not expecting every arc to be Umbara or Maul’s aggressive takeover of the syndicates and Mandalore or the Second Battle of Geonosis. But with revised dialogue or perhaps a bit…

I’d hate to ask but do you guys do...car stuff? Without even trying I’ve seen 3 at different meets and events around here (North Carolina). Not counting the other two I’ve seen in the wild or the shop car owned by a local tuner. I know LA is bigger so one may go years without seeing X car that another person spotted,…

Oooo. I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing actually....I’m talking about the TCR spec of touring car racing. The TCR GTI you’re talking about is a commemorative special model to celebrate that VW races in TCR...but both this comment and the other comment I responded to were talking about different classes…

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I’d like to see modified GTIs giving Type Rs a run for their money in the real world but that has not materialized. All the ones I’ve seen in HPDE were either stock or had a couple bolt ons but weren’t exactly blowing by Miatas either. In TC racing: No GTI entries whatsoever. If…

Hmmm not quite, you’re missing some important context. The DSG equipped version of the TCR car has the clutch pack version. The quicker one with the sequential does not, mechanical unit. Both RS3 and GTI TCR cars with the non sequential boxes are slower than their peers. To the point the RS3 that ran in that spec in…

I’ve driven all 3. MK7 included. 2019 upper trim so it had all the ‘PP’ goodies. Including the eLSD. Like I said earlier, it’s not really about the power difference. Another thing to consider fr example, is the quasi dual wishbone front suspension the Type R has, which gives it the scrub radius that nothing in the…

Yeah TSI with a tune is no joke. And while the stock intercooler is fine for the street...prepare for noticeable heat soak under sustained running with 70 plus extra ponies and gobs more torque. You don’t want that small little unit when doing any significant track work in the summer.

Not sure on the point of your comment. What does my garage have anything to do with it? Also not sure what any of this has to do with you not wanting to spend time with your spouse? Errr anyway I showed you Type Rs on track, plenty in time attack, gridlife events, entry level touring car racing and TCR (a dozen + count…

To the point you’d spend Type R money getting the GTI up to speed. It’s a fun exercise actually:

No...you missed the point. The argument is that people complain a lot about cars they never intend to buy. That’s the internet in a nutshell, just replace car for literally anything else. But if they bothered to actually do some research they could easily overcome a lot of their gripes.

And both of those options would thoroughly get spanked by a CTR on track or the mountains. If you care about that sort of thing of course. If nicer-ish interiors and very nondescript exteriors are more your speed then yeah, understandable. Power of choices, would suck if everyone drove the same thing. 

Track, street, mountains an everything in between...where have you been looking?

Counterpoint. No you wouldn’t. Everyone says they’d buy X or Y if it only had this or that thing. If it was the car for you, you would have bought one by now. Now of course more options don’t hurt and the new changes may away more buyers- but all the things you mentioned, besides maybe the wing, can be remedied in the…

What exact trim and year did you drive? Last rental spec V6 (2019 MY) I drove was more than adequate for a runabout faux muscle car. Visibility was awesome compared to any recent Camaro I’ve driven and it drove a lot smaller than its footprint would suggest, especially considering it’s about 1000 pounds heavier than…

On the contrary, I think I answered your first point. Since a previous reply had answered your second.

Wrong car jack. Not sure a hatch like the car you listed above even exists, definitley not at the price and/or performance level.

What do you drive and what do you use it for? A car like the Type R is perfectly easy to commute in, fill with boxes and shopping bags, drive to the mountains, road trip in, and track it on the weekends. Ready to go back to work on Monday. Why is there such a mysticism to cars that can do all listed above? That's the…
