Grew up with an RC car, desktop wall paper, and posters of this in my room. Finally was able to test drive one and the interior alone made me reconsider it completely.

“But even then I don’t really care; I’m never going to own one, so I’ll just keep looking from the outside, watching these cars rumble by.”

Seems silly to say, Corolla is a daily beater, nothing wrong with that. A performance car responds well to mods, a full exhaust will bring the ISF from 355WHP to over 400, for under $3k installed by a shop. 4 year olds respond well to loud noises and torque, and the Corolla owner will respond well to a still full…

Headers and catback will change that.

This always surprises me when people bring it up. You know can replace them with the real thing right? Some who do then have bumper melting issues though :/

As an ISF owner, I approve. Great daily driver with good power and good mpg. Pretty damn reliable and very easy to maintain, same qualities he loves in the Corolla. Only about 5k sold of them compared to like 5x more E90/E92 M3's.

Heavy, but tuning works wonders too. Stock for stock: https://www.edmunds.com/infiniti/g37/2009/comparison-test2.html

Why a twin turbo? 07 G35 sedan or 08 g37 sedan are mid 13 quarter mile cars, same as any STI even new. Same thing goes for IS350.

The G37 was the only one he test drove that could meet his qualifications, an 08 coupe is 95% the same as a 13 and you can pick them up for $12k with 85k or so. But your next test drive being an ATSV? Huh?

Budget: $8,000 to $12,000

It surely is, but my comment was more than it’s not really a crazy amount of power when any base V8 pony car has that. It is surely easier to get in trouble, but I see plenty of 400+HP cars driving normal every single day. It’s not like a sudden 350whp will punt kittens and make moms cry in every neighborhood.

“That much power”

Is it 5 o clock somewhere already?

So you have a car that would be difficult to service or warranty in case of any reliability or even simple tuning issues, and a barebones interior at that. Cool.

That’s nearly a death sentence lol. I had a 92, without cruise control too, and anything above 70 was just annoying, not to mention the tach read like 4k above 75 lol.

Key word rental. My ISF and even my G37 tore up miles going 80+ like it’s a school zone.

Meanwhile..

Hot take, bro.

They have a fight/shoot out scene with a baby. It more than tops it :)

The thing is, every single time these movies are mentioned, there are many more people going out of their way to post how stupid these movies are than actual fans.
