Haha, and folks say Audis are bad. Whatever.

@Elhigh: The first thing I learned to drive! I was 10 yrs old in 1983, that clutch pedal was a killer, but it takes alot of spring pressure to hold a leather clutch...

@KeyserSöze: I don't think MSD makes products for that motor.

I'd definitely take that opportunity to learn how to work on Ferraris. I've never met a car I couldn't fix, privided I could afford the parts...

@Maxichamp: MENSA?

@Prismatist steers with his right foot: I'd rather drive a turbo/manny AWD/RWD car at 7/10ths than a FWD auto at 10/10ths... It's at YOUR limit where it's fun, not the car's. After a few track days, I got me some slicks. Holy shit, the car's limit is way out there, beyond mine now. It's a shitload of fun, although…

@cobrajoe: I'd love to take either the Talon or the A6 to the ring, but it'd be lots cheaper just to 'hire' a car, as they say across the pond. Unfortunately, nowdays, it's best to hire a 'ringtoy' due to the insurance companies gangbanging all our rental car fun into the dirt.

Step 3: use better fertilizer?

@Brian: When I was growing up, our dad would tow my brother and I (occaisionally a cousin or two, as well) behind his 1976 Dodge shorty window van down snow covered forest service roads, on our sleds! He would get thrown in jail for that today. We probably hit 15-20MPH at times, but he never killed or hurt any of…

@Thomas Paladino: "general shadyness" describes F1 behind-the-scenes pretty well.

Whats with all the parts made in Arizona?

OMG we had so much fun driving a FWD automatic around the Nurburgring Nordschleiffe! Admittedly, it would be fun to drive ANY car around the 'ring, but I still challenge your objectivity ;)

Since I think of Marlboro every time I see a Ferrari F1 car, they should just ban the cars. Or, paint them green.

@Ash78, Keyser Soze: Maybe a little RedWhiteBlackFlag?

"I love it when a plan comes together."

@Fodder650: Yes!

While not a beater, my 1995 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD is never going to a junkyard, or another owner. If I have to, I'll eventually make a race car out of it. It gets relatively good mileage (20/25, but also depending on how much I want to listen to the turbo.) It's got plenty of power. It gets me to the mountain in any…

@Izod517: Some might disagree with you on the K&N. Some would say that they don't filter particles as small as paper units, and can mess with some MAF sensors with oil blowby, which is unavoidable even if you don't use too much. That said, I use one on my Talon (plan on putting in a built 6 bolt someday), but not on…

Since I use AWD, snow tires, and plenty of boost to get to my job, I'd say an EVO or STi.

Umm, it's harder with AWD and sticky tires, FWIW.
