Well, they are almost getting most of my wishes! Under 100 inches wheel base, weight under 3,000 (2,900 gas, 3,300 hybrid), 350ish Hp gas, 475 Hp hybrid (I wish this was the gas engine).
I hate to say this, with all the delays, and no GT4's available, I'm warming up to the new Corvettes! I test...
In our neck of the woods, it seemed our Ferarri/Mazda ooops, I mean Maserati stealership carries them types! I think once they had one on the showroom floor that was more expensive than some of their F cars!!
Interestingly enough they don't list the torque. It all depends if it has a flat torque curve, and where it makes the power. My guess it's probably tuned and geared more towards the Euro buyers, who don't do stop sign drag race, but more autoban and mountain driving. I'd be curious how fast it...
Not exactly my cup of tea, but I thought with 510Hp on tap some here might like it;

I believe that he was ordered. But he was in the lead by a mile! With less than a handful of laps remaining, and maintaining his lap times (not increasing) he didn't need tires unless his were shredded which they were not. I like conspiracy theories anyway... A lot more interesting! We will...
Yes, I talked with one of the corner workers/safety guys and non of the excuses I've heard so far makes any sense. Lewis didn't have tire issues, if he did, his lap times would have shown it. The only rumor I have heard that made any sense was that the family of a certain Nico is very close to a...
Note the fins under side of the tail. I think they are to create a vortex to pull the air stream above more down (creating kind of a suction...?):
Above is a plain base platform being taken in for assembly.
Hmmm, may be the color doesn't do it much justice...? But I think it's more like the i8.
I had a 74 3.0CS for a long time, which got a lot of thumbs up from older enthusiasts.
Here's sir Jackie socializing with the crowd. I got him to sign my ticket: Let's see if I can post today baby F-1 race to get the crowd warmed up. I thought I had completely destroyed my hearing when I was a teenager going right up front of all rock concerts...well, I could only take a couple of...
I hear you. After all they are to sell what Toyota sells best, not to push something that's not their bread and butter. So it's only natural that a model that's not their nich would fall off the chart, while Prius, Camry, etc wouldn't.
Here's a picture I took a couple of years ago. Monte Carlo...
Interesting read. A lot of truth in it:

And the best quote of the article:
"Our Subaru salesperson said as much during the test drive: "I learn something new about this car from...
I certainly relate to your third statement more than anything!
Seems every time I've tried, I ended up destroying a perfectly good engine in the end! I'm more than happy to do a lot of work to the suspension, but I will no longer mess with the engines, the way engineers of the engines and their...
The most important aspect of getting to the higher speeds is how fast can I get to 150ish. I'd like it to have the power as well as the aerodynamics to get to 150+ mph in less than half a mile while short shifting by 300-400 rpm, meaning getting up to speed easy without trying "too" hard...
I've actually thought hard about what you are saying. It's very tempting, if I was the kind of guy who'd rather be tooling with the car every spare moment I got. The problem is, if I have a spare moment, I'd rather be out enjoying what life can offer. Looking at cute girls at Starbucks is really...
I'm with you, almost all the way, except for the GTR! As capable as it is, for my liking it sits high like a rally car, and weighs "two" tons! With that kind of weight, it'll wear through things like a bandit.
The only reason I'm resisting temptation of buying a Porsche is because everyone...
