To register the 2003 996 for five years with a personalized plate, it came out to 378 dollars (would have been 253 dollars without the personalized plate). For comparison, to register my STi for 5 years with a personal plate, I'm well over 2000 dollars. AZ is definitely no joke with this shit, but t...

Yep, you can get... 4C, Evora 400, Cayman for under $100k and that's likely all we will ever see. I'm still holding on to a small amount of hope that Lotus will bring a new Elise to the USA that's good, but I'm not holding my breath for it. Yep, these are nearly double of what the Yoder’s sold for ...

Cult of the Poorvette. Tax breaks for all performance parts. Run a Jebus based performance shop. Or start a local karate club with the slogan "ON FIRE FOR JESUS!" I'm not kidding. This is local to me in Louisiana. it's real. https://www.cajunkaratelafayette.com/uploads/9/0/1/4/90140199/ca...

Yep. My brother's CVT WRX "feels" faster than the manual version (haven't actually looked at time differences) and gets better EM PEE GEES. I think the main concern is the CVT for subarus (and possibly other cars) is belt driven and they need service unusually fast (60kish miles). My brot...

I just don’t understand how in that very test the caddy that has the same wheel base as the Alfa has a shorter turning circle ... yet a 14.1 vs 11.8 to 1 steering ratio and comparable lock to lock turns.

I’m sure my dad’s Panamera Turbo is programmed different, but it doesn’t downshift to 1st even in Sport Plus mode until you’re almost at a complete stop.

A newer Poorsche is around 2k RPM at 20mph coming out of a tight dragon corner. No power down there, plus the PDK being foolproof = you could probably use 1st often in that kind of situation. I know that the faster :waxer: porsche GT3/4 bros use 1st in some autox corners, I just watched it in Linco...

My STI will get the PS4S most likely before my track day(s) in the fall/winter and the 911 will have Michelin PS2's wrapped around the BBS wheels when the wheels arrive stateside - unless, of course, michelin introduces more (i.e. 996 period correct) sizes by the fall.

EDIT: Seems like I can't add the CCB option to the M3 on BMW's website anymore, but my initial statement about pricing was way off.

Also, it looks like F80 and E90 ZCP weights are pretty close if similarly equipped.

I said numb. I probably should have elaborated. It's essentially a RWD, German GT-R where BMW is chasing numbers instead of instilling the same "feeling" they used to have with every generation of M3 prior to the F8X chassis. Objectively, the car is absolutely better than the E9x, but it'...

I've driven a few iterations from M3 to M4 in ZCP and non-ZCP spec. Modded and non-modded. Getting a stick helps bring back some of the "feel" that an M car should have, but it's still just a glorified 335i to me. Maybe it's the elitism from owning two NA M3's, but I don't know. It's not ...

I would have a 981 S or GTS over any other car in that price range.

I wasn't really enthused with how the M4 drove compared to my E90 M3, but that's probably the old, nostalgic fuck in me. It felt numb compared to my E90 and my E46. I saw a 2016 981 GTS for 65ish on the used market but this won't happen for a long while. Between my STi, the 911 and my daily Toyota ...
