Post ‘06, what I like to call the Renault Spec-V did get a raised red line (around 7K if I recall) and a bump up to 200 hp even.

Yeah, I hear ya, but, that B16 also had like 116 lb-ft of torque while that QR25DE generates 175hp and 180 lb-ft of torque.

“I hate this 175hp 2.5 ltr. can’t believe they got so little out of so much.”

I thought the non spec-Vs had a viscous limited slip while the spec-Vs had helical limited slip? Nktthat it matters much to me as I had a spec-V, but just academic curiosity I guess.

Had a silver ‘03 with Nismo springs, swaybars, and exhaust as well as slotted brake rotors. It was ridiculously fun and sounded and handled great. Really regret never getting to autoX it as it was totaled when some dummy decided to change 3 lanes through it.

I don’t known. I just test drove a new WRX at the DFW Auto Show ride & drive and all it convinced me was that car should not be sold without a stick. It was pretty lifeless and unresponsive even with the “sport” mode enabled when he told me to step on it on a section of road after turning from a dead stop. I was…

My MX-6 GT went from stock to what you see here:

If it is on a public street you will likely have to make continual insurance payments.

“Stuff like Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Mazda can’t really disappoint because expectations are so low.”

So did the Mazda MX-6 GT 4WS and its 4-door hatchback sister the 626 GT 4WS.

Rental car?

“Lexus has the LS and infiniti has nothing...”

I’m thinking the right hand drive makes it even better! Safer for the driver to get out and open the door for their Uber/Lyft customer. The driver will almost always be able to exit curbside. I think it’s a win!

In Germany, could that be because of their strict privacy laws? Filming you without prior knowledge may be very concerning to them based on past history whether it’s for traffic enforcement or not.

My wife and I are pretty regular, but I was baffled when my daughter said she doesn’t have a bm every day.

Charmin Ultra Strong. I use the same technique, but 4 squares at a time. Sometimes a 2nd round of new tp is unnecessary.

Not sure how high your dispenser is mounted, but that 8 squares for me and double what I need for a normal session.

Charmin Ultra-strong. Buy it in the mega-rolls that are almost too big for standard tp dispensers. Try it and you will never go back.

It was probably not quite as unsafe prior to the proliferation of overweight SUVs and lifted trucks. My dad had a ‘91 Sentra XE. I learned to drive manual on. Exact same body style as the one in the pictures. I miss that car. 30 mpg city, 40 mpg on the highway no matter what. The car was trouble free save for a gas…

Not going to lie, my thoughts immediately went to this:
