If they can keep the board, they can easily pay for a new windshield! /s

Incredible response time. Knew you would be in the comments, but not this fast.

Dude, that edit gets you a star. I lol’d.

None.

Stating the “recharge while drifting” thing in another way that might help people understand it better:

Just knowing that you’re out there, dispensing correct information about drivetrains, fighting the good fight against manufacturer disinformation... It brings a tear of joy to my eye. It’s good to know I’m not fighting alone.

Oh man.

Lol this is sarcasm right? It's gotta be.

You joke, but your dream of aftermarket “non-touchscreen” solutions is not that far-fetched.

Totally agree. Nissan is going through some hard times, but this car is made by them. It might be “old”, but it has all the ingredients enthusiasts want. I’m almost certainly a buyer.

I am so buying this!

Was this on private property?

a couple of my thoughts:

I wasn’t expecting this to be a fatal accident, and I watched the video before realizing it. I try to avoid watching that stuff whenever possible because I don’t enjoy watching suffering and death.

Mazda might indeed be the perfect candidate for Apple to buy: High tech, high fashion, small company.

Great find! But, I’m confused- I thought the Focus RS *did* have a disconnect on the PTU, so that the driveshaft could spin-down to reduce losses.

Yeah I know all about it, I have a GT-R. The hardware is great, the early transmission programming was not so great. Additionally, I run an aftermarket ECU for the AWD system and I can launch all day long no problem. See point #4 in this FAQ:…

I wish there was a reliable way to look up the exact hardware in any given car’s drivetrain. I’m sure the manufacturers intentionally obfuscate so that marketing can talk it up with more freedom.

I just assumed that third-party engineer meant to say “RDM” instead of PTU in his comments
