I suspect those are highly-guarded numbers. (I too, have been curious)

David, thanks for this article. I had no idea companies like this exist. I have always wanted to know what is the actual cost to build a certain kind of car, and what the profit margins are for a manufacturer, but I could never find the info, and nobody could tell me. Now that I read this, I can see that such info…

Ok you know what, I can count the number of people on one hand that I’ve ever called a cunt in my entire life, it’s not a word I use lightly.

Fuck it, I like this car. As is, it’s a great cruiser. Throw a little cash at it and you can build the 350 into the fire-breathing ground pounder that the internet demands all Corvettes must be, and at this price you can afford to. Put a 5- or 6-speed trans in there if you must; it can be done.

My Lancia Scorpion would do 85
Tore up its valve train, now I don’t drive...

Sweet, I didn’t realize there was a less powerful, more unreliable car that’s likely to be mistaken for a Maserati Biturbo. It’s cool though, it would probably only cost a lot more for repairs. I wonder how it would get to the ground faster though, burning to the ground or rusting?

That doesn’t make sense, you want more grip in the front to control the drift and less in the rear. The real reason they have tons of negative camber is so that you have lots of front grip when the wheels are at full lock, but not so much when going straight.

That is another thing the ad left out - exclusive 4 speed reverse. Don’t see that every day.

To be fair, Lochte probably doesn’t know the difference.

RacerX has a point...up to a point.

Here’s why it looks that way: the car isn’t meant to go straight, it’s meant to go sideways. Steering in the front has custom geometry to allow the wheels to turn up to 65 degrees of steering lock. To get the wheels to turn that far, the control arms are extended, pushing the wheels way out to the side. And when the…

No they dont. They’re looking for as much grip as possible to keep forward speed up. These cars regularly do 100mph during a short run. The front alignment is to keep the car controllable at high-angles. They typically run zero-ackerman steering and lots of caster so the tires keep in better contact with the road at…

Go try it once. Drifting takes far more skill than most motorsports even think of having.

One is rally low, and one is rally high.

I figured he had the hot air intake from that site as well and maybe even the catback exhaust as it does not look stock in that pic from the rear.

When Mitubishi started selling the Lancer in the US, the base Lancer was not only anemic, but it also looked nothing like the Evolution version. Put the two side-by-side and the average person would have no idea that the cars were supposed to be the same model.

For all of you who voted nice price, I’m sorry that’s incorrect.

How is eagersally meant to get the truck to this hypothetical quiet parking lot? ;-)
