I love me some Rx2, but that's enough scratch for a nice C5 Z06.

Lap timers, and the fact that 500HP is the new 300HP. It's too bad the manual transmission will no longer be available in the future.

@Baby beater Benz: I blame it on all these car commercials telling everyone they need to be "outdoorsy," not true "outdoorsmen!"

@subafly: IIRC, it didn't add much more than 100lbs to a 2g DSM, but I can't seem to find the specs...

@Tossed Accord Taco Salad all over Malibu's face: If you think the only benefit of AWD is for bad weather, you've never tried to put more than 150HP down coming out of a corner at the edge of grip on a track. Even a stock turbo FWD DSM sucks ass, especially in the wet. Some folks like to have fun with their cars.

Dude is an awesome driver. He and Block have done amazing things for rally exposure here. The only drawback is the childlike obsessions of the newer fans. At the Oregon Trail Rally last weekend during the PIR stages, the ENTIRE audience for the most part followed Block. A kid asked someone, "Has Ken Block been through…

At least it looks like he'll live to trailbrake another day!

@Tijuana Taxi: I'm sure you could avoid the "red mist" the first (or tenth) time you take yours to the 'ring. I know I'd have to keep myself in check pretty hard if I ever got to live that dream. Especially given my wife would be with me, and we'd be trading off seat time...

@Baby beater Benz: They are in most places. Plus, there's sometimes fines if they go without transponders. There's been a big debate about that subject around Mt. Hood the last few years with all the rescues and recoveries. Combine the second most climbed mountain (due to it's close proximity to a major metro area and…

Good luck with that, Sam. I can't remember the last time I drove anywhere and did not see someone struggling with "driving while multitasking." We're all fucked.

Does this guy even know why they're called "muscle shirts?"

Transmissions that shift for you.

At 2400lbs, they could add AWD and a turbo and keep it ~2500lbs with a std transmission. Just sayin. 323GTX redux!

Them fancy AWD, turbocharged, DOHC, 4 and 5 valve furrin cars took awhile to grow on me, but now I hate most domestics and automatic transmissions.

@wkiernan: Haven't they?

#2 and #7 look strikingly similar.

C2 Corvette initially. I've long since changed my mind for a 911 RS. Played lead/follow with one on my way home from the mountain today. A little frustrated I couldn't coax him into taking a fun little detour, but it was fun.

I dig it.

Heaviest: 1960's David Brown farm tractor.

@BrtStlnd: The car gives me some too. Poor DSM. 3G and 4G Eclipses ruined a decent looking, great performing AWD car.
