I had a 14 Mustang GT on snows from 2013 to 2018 in New York. We have steep hills. My Impreza on all seasons is absolutely better for hill starts, of which I encounter many in my daily life.

I live in the snowy, hilly suburbs north of NYC. I’ve done RWD with Blizzaks and studded Nokians and AWD with all seasons in blizzards. My drive involves a number of hill starts. My AWD cars on all seasons handle those with no drama on snow, whereas my RWD cars on snow tire have struggled and/or held up traffic while…

Two Rogers don't make a right!

Genesis doesn’t need a supersedan right now. They need to fix the dealership experience (Hyundai stores and sales staff have no idea how to work with luxury car buyers), get their G70 lease incentives in line with the rest of the market (nobody is paying 700/mo. to lease a 48k car when they can go out and get a…

I'd have that over a Velar in a heartbeat.

I know. I’ve owned 2 2006 GTOs.

The Catera was an Opel Omega, which was also the base for the VT Commodore.

I see your Lotus Carlton and raise you a VT HSV GTS. It came in purple.

Yes. That was my point. I was driving home Explainer’s sarcasm.

I hope the Freed has read Stackpole and Allston a few times, because those are the standards to which he will be held, rightfully or not. The people who read those books are the people who will be pre-ordering this.

All other qualifications aside, for pure driving fun on your favorite back road, this or a C7 Grand Sport?

Passenger sensitive airbags are not designed to shut off because nobody is sitting there they shut off if the person sitting there is too light to sustain direct airbag deployment. That person would still need protection from the window in a side impact.

Speedo reads from a sensor attached to the differential. It shows you drive wheel rotational speed.

I’ve always wondered how hard it would be to use oem components to build models we dont get here. This is excellent.

Fix the exhaust. The F80/2/3 sounded terrible, no matter what exhaust you put on it.

Frontal airbags diasable if they dont detect a passenger weighing enough to handle the trauma of direct airbag deployment, not just when there is nobody in the front seat. Curtain airbags deploy down to cushion your head from hitting the window in a side impact. There could be someone in that seat that is not heavy…

Wheels are only turning at 19mph.

More than 1.25 lateral g with a spike when the suspension unloaded and reloaded. Also, the speedo is showing wheel speed, not speed over ground. When a car is spinning, the wheels are obviously not going to be moving as fast as the vehicle. In a spin, both feet in.

Saying that the car was only traveling 19mph is misleading. The car was sliding and the speedo only reads wheel speed. So the wheels were turning at 19mph,but the car may have been going much faster than that. See, e.g., your speed when you’re going a burnout. Speedo reads 40mph, car is creeping forward at 5mph.
