Idk about a full engine rebuild. Some new injectors, spark plugs, a supercharger and a tune would probably be all you need. As for buying the Cayman, well I guess if one is inclined to DIY, the Toyobaru is easier to wrench on, even with the mods. Parts are probably a lot cheaper too and it being front engine and not…

Gran Turismo is the right choice just based on the sound it makes alone. There’s a guy on my commute with a Lotus Evora and I think he owned a 4C before that. Out of the budget but seeing the Evora on the street was pretty cool. 

This has Golf R written all over it. Come on it’s not even close. 

I agree. A GT car is supposed to be fast, comfortable and easy to drive. Modern technology means GT cars can be both comfortable cruisers and track scalpels like they’ve never been before, but there is such thing as too much power. I understand the bragging rights aspect of it, but why not let owners choose a high…

YMMV. I live in a suburb 15 miles from the center of a major US city and like 50 miles from a large Amazon distribution center. Out of probably ~100 packages this year, I think only two or three didn’t make the two day turn around. I’m not saying your problem isn’t real, but I think it really depends on where you…

lol nerd

You were young once, I guess.

I think this car is fucking gorgeous. 

Seems like it’s his fault for not reinforcing that. Journalists went with a completely different narrative and Musk just played into it (probably unwittingly) with the vague responses to mass transit related questions. I don’t care about this tunnel, it’s probably years away from even being close to what Musk said he…

I....I kind of like it :(

How’s that working out? I love those cars.

If ya ain’t cheatin, ya ain’t tryin.

+1 That boy ain’t right...

I saw a bunch of these in Prague when on vacation a few weeks ago and they looked great on the road. All I could do is smh. Hatch competition in Europe is fierce, as we all know, and this car actually blended in well with the more fashion-forward current MY Renaults and Citroens. Shame America just doesn’t want small…

My last two cars were brand new base models with manuals, so I am fighting the good fight, but most base model manual cars are geared way too long. There’s a lot of base models with manuals and little peppy engines that would be pretty fun with short ratios, but they’re all geared super long to get every last mpg out…

Duh dude, that’s not my point. Ultimately, this is a big discussion about nothing because all the cars are phenomenal and they all play a role. If you could have a Cayman or 911 right now for free, I doubt you’d be disappointed with either car. The 911 is a unique car and its engine placement allows for it to be sold…

Jalopnik: It’s not always about speed! It’s about purity and heritage and ENGAGEMENT! 50 years of 911, so much history! I’ll take it in brown and stick shift because what an iconic car! I’d sell my kid’s kidney for a 911 R got dangit.

No lie, the car with the base package and manual like mine came with 3.15s. Those gears are way too long and the car wasn’t very peppy. A lot of owners with the S550s started swapping gears and the used diffs were getting hard to find (new was cost prohibitive). I finally found a 3.55 on ebay and I jumped on it but if…

This is an interesting suggestion. I’m going to look into it more because I love the W211 E55.

I have the S550 V6 and I waffle back and forth on the V8 often. I like the 2018+ redesign and I know a lot of the car having worked on it a bit (most of it is the same for trims under the perf packs besides the engines) and being on the forums about 2 years now. It’s such a damn good chassis. And really, a lot of the…
