Where did I say anything about dual-scroll turbos? Because I don't see me mentioning dual-scroll turbos... but that's probably because I wasn't talking about dual-scroll turbos.

Well, if someone can put me in touch with someone from Subaru here in the US, I have already thought a lot about the engine I’d build for it, the suspension parts I’d use, and more... I even have a partial parts list. I started working on the idea for the fun of it... Basically, it was a “if I hit the lottery” idea of

That was just one idea... Though, it could be possible to raise the center of the hood to compensation for raising the engine... But like I said, that was just one idea.

Oh, I don't think it'd be easy, but it's somewhere to start. I'd be able to figure out more if I had a BRZ, a shop full of tools, a couple engineers, and some fabricators to work with to take the BRZ apart enough to look at what I have to work with/around, and to help me do what would need to be done. I mean, Ferrari

Not meaning to sound egotistical... But if they hired me, I’d gladly lead the team to figure it out... Raise the engine just enough to allow for an AWD setup... I’d take a slightly higher center of gravity if it meant there would be an AWD BRZ.

Or, what if you used gears to run a shaft through the pan below the center

Nah, they should make an AWD, Turbocharged Subaru 22BRZ in homage to the JDM 22B... That'd be sweet. Oh, and it should have unequal length headers. A Subaru should burble.

I think the idea itself is flawed... I think no matter what, a transmission will always be better at delivering the power from the engine to the wheels. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this technology will never out perform a regular transmission. And even if it does, I suspect repair costs for this tech will

The problem is that it isn't a transmission. They made a ridiculous high-tech system of electric motors and clutches to do the job of a transmission. Why they did this? I don't know. As I said, someone told me it was to save weight, but if that's the case, then it's a failure, as the Regera is slower to 60, and slower

Yup... Somehow, Koenigsegg made a lighter car than the Chiron, that has horsepower comparable to the Chiron, that is all around slower than the Chiron... How? I suspect it has to do with the ridiculous simulated transmission BS... which I do not understand the reasoning for at all.

Why even fake it? Someone told me it

It's also slower to 60, and has a lower top speed. Chiron FTW.

A lot of the articles I read speculating about what the Chiron would do before it was unveiled were expecting a top speed of 288 mph...

I used to make techno music back in the late 90's, early 2000's, and one day I started making a song... I was so pleased with how it was coming along, that I had a buddy of mine who also made techno come over to take a listen... When he got here, I played what I had done for him, only for him to say "Uh... Dude...

FYI: That Simpsons episode isn’t from 2000, it’s from 2015.

A power wheels? I had one when I was 3... 32 years ago... There is a much better option now... The Broon F8...

BMW used to be staunchly anti-FWD... I wish they had stayed that way. I know it’s speculation, but if true, what’s next? The 3 series?

It’s probably their Superbowl commerical... Hence, they’re not going to talk about it.

Those don’t look like the same seats as the ones in Nick Mason’s LaFerrari (the one Jeremy is sitting in above)... I think the ones in your pic are the optional seats... which may or may not be equipped in the car The Rock is standing in front of... which we have no way of knowing.

50” chest... But... I still think it’s an exaggeration. It’s probably tight, but he probably still fits. I dunno... he should have been in the car when taking the pic to demonstrate how he doesn’t fit.

Doesn’t look so shove in to me... Yeah, his head is probably close to the roof, but he fits in there, and he certainly takes up more room than The Rock does...

“Daddy don’t fit in it.”
