NASCAR Cup Series cars were at 900 horsepower with a 4 speed for a couple years. Even now, they’re at 670 with a 5 speed. Number of gears ≠ power

No, but it does have a 800 cylinder horsepower motor.

Or… gasp …A CVT?!

It’s the exact same argument. “Why would anyone need a 30-round magazine?” There isn’t a reason for someone to have one outside of hog hunting, but that shouldn’t stop people from being able to have them. Just because I don’t need something doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to have it

Daily: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon

Track Car/Canyon Carver: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A

Wildcard Pick: Citröen Xantia Activa 3.0i

Considering that there are two literal race cars available, the Porsches wouldn’t cross my mind. Out of the road cars, the GT3 RS would be my first choice, followed by the GT3, the Huracan Spyder, the Huracan Evo, the 488 and the 600LT.

Value: Chevrolet Corvette Z06. 90 percent the car of a GT3 RS for 60 percent of the price.

Driving dynamics: Lotus’ entire gas-powered lineup. Colin Chapman’s mantra of “simplify, then add lightness” continues to work wonders. If given the choice between a Boxster GTS and a supercharged Emira, I’m taking the Emira.

Those are really the only two places where Porsche is beaten.

Going 90 MPH under any circumstance is considered pretty reckless in the eyes of the law. The only times you should be going that fast are if you’re passing someone going 85 mph (the highest posted speed limit in Texas) or 75-80 mph (typical interstate speeds). Going 90 MPH on an expressway near the hustle-and-bustle of an American metropolis is pretty boneheaded.

That CLS looks like a 3rd gen Taurus wagon

The general consensus seems to be this.

Toyota/Honda/Hyundai/Subaru: crickets

GM/Ford/BMW/Volkswagen Group/Stellantis: lmao what a piece of shit

For some, I think it’s warranted. Especially Stellantis.

When someone buys a base model Fusion over a Honda, you know that shit’s going south at Honda.

To be fair, the sludge issues on Toyota’s part were with a single engine family— the Toyota MZ family, used in the Camry, Avalon, Highlander, Solara, Sienna and the Lexus RX and ES. That by no means is a small recall, but it’s one of few isolated incidents in their engine program. Everything else though? Search up “stuck throttle” on YouTube and you get Mark Saylor’s ES350 crash as one of the first results. And that’s not to mention the Takata Airbag recalls, but that encompassed a massive scope of makes and models.

It depends on how intrusive it is. If it’s anything like what Europe has been doing, where a simple, single chime lets you know that you’ve exceeded the speed limit, then I’d be totally fine with it. Not too fond of the idea of using GPS for it to work.

Maybe if you have a credit score of, ahh… checks spec sheet of Mitsubishi Mirage …78?
