But why does that necessitate new suspension bits and geometries?

Genuine question here: Why are entirely new car platforms needed any more? Havent we gotten suspension geometries and such sorted by now? So we have that down, doesnt need to change. Sure, you might update the struts/shocks with improved technology every few years, and springs as the weight of the vehicle changes.

I…

link?

Yeah, why not? Have it inspected by a Mazda dealer a week before, have them fix anything obvious that might stop your trip, then head out. Assuming you fly in Friday afternoon, knock a few hours out, you would have 10-12 hours to do each day Saturday and Sunday.

A flight and drive back are cheap and could be done in a weekend.

Challenger Hellcats have been pretty close to 50/50 as of the sales numbers I can find up to 2017MY

That is not an attractive car in the least...

How do you feel about big Corvette shows? Or any single make or single model show? Some people just really like air cooled Porsches.

If there isnt an obvious sign of impact I agree. but when you have a very V’d dent or can see rash from the pot hole, like this

I would say the argument comes down to what parts are considered service parts vs what parts are considered repair parts as getting a shell to 1M miles isnt all that impressive (though it is rare).

Eh, my uncles NA FC did 130k miles on its original engine. I think his RX8 did somewhere in the high 80k mile range.

Its actually completely self contradictory. Is it moderate or is it severe? Moderate body damage to me would be scratches, door dings, paint chips, etc. Things paint-less dent removal and touch-up paint can fix.

Severe is anything that requires sheet metal replacement or non paint-less dent removals and worse.

By the…

If they want to be true to the ruckus the Syclone and Typhoon caused when they came out these things will need a heck of a lot more power than 450ish. They need to be well over 700. At the power range theyre talking its not even as quick as Jeep and Durango SRT8s of yesteryear.

Are you insinuating this WOULDNT be amazing?

I want to know why it isnt based on the LC500 platform which would be inline with previous Supras as a GT car....not a nimble little sports toy.

Horse slips in some mud cornering...it happens. Notice how he heavily slowed when moving out as well, not just moving out....oh and he freight trained everyone else on the straight away...Had he not slowed in the corner and moved out he would have won by 4-5 horse lengths.

quick aluminum jack from harbor freight, high torque cordless impact and a couple batteries, and three guys working (one on jack and wood, two on lug nuts) means you could probably have a car done in less than a minute especially considering most cars on dealer lots dont have wheel locks.

I assisted my mom in buying a still new on the lot 2018 Durango about 3 weeks ago. I went in to the dealer myself on Wednesday, they helped me make sure the dog crates would fit that she wanted to be able to get in back. Then they let me do a quick test drive. I was in and out in about 45 minutes. I got the salesmans…

You also get stuck with ridiculous option package bundling. Like, I shouldnt have to get a sunroof, parking sensors, and lane departure warning to get HID headlights.

The way it was explained to me recently, at least with FCA vehicles, is at 12 months old they cap out on rebate offers and basically just hold that to eternity until it sells.
