Must resist making joke about San Diegan making fun of the Raiders....Must resist making joke about San Diegan making fun of the Raiders....Must resist making joke about San Diegan making fun of the Raiders.... :D But to echo many of the above posts, the '14 would really only be worth it if...

Hahaha, so true. No good deed goes unpunished ;)

Awesome video, I freakin' love Pobst. A national treasure for car guys. However... I'm no professional racecar driver, and I've never driven in my life at the levels in that vid, but I've still found plenty of situations (probably like once a month when driving for fun in the summer, and about...

Hahahaha, me too!!! :headbang:

Of course they can hit emissions targets without turbocharging, that's not the point and never has been. Like the article mentioned, turbos are often dirtier than NA (anyone who's tuned AFRs down to a cringe-inducing 10.x:1 while turning a turbo car knows that feeling). It's CAFE and MPG...

None taken -- he is ;) Most rich people are, frankly. But even usually non-shallow people who aren't car-people will totally give you the "huh?" :crazy: look if you tell them about how you can't wait to get rid of your BMW for a Ford. I experience that all the time just talking to random people...

RWD has always felt better/"purer" to me, but Subaru sure did a good job opening my eyes up to what AWD can do. While a mid-engined RWD car (and I've owned one of those too -- miss you little MR2!) properly set up will produce the best times on a glass-smooth course driven by a driver more...

Haha, you're the one on the right track here man, but I've given up trying to explain finance on this board. Bottom line to everyone reading posts like Mr. Masek's: don't get your financial advice about how to buy your vehicles from "experts" on forums who tout charlatans like Dave Ramsey...

Bingo! :amen: Wow, worthless. I want the 2 mins of my life back. That guy couldn't tell you as much about Mustangs or any other car as my grandma could. And she's dead. The guy's mannerisms starting at 0:45 seconds are downright hilarious though. I can only imagine the director: "Alright...

I've owned a bugeye WRX, spent several months in a later '05 one, and have had several Mustangs. I totally get the appeal of each. I got to drive a '15 about a week ago (coworker's new toy). It's awesome, no two ways about it. If you're interested in the aftermarket at all, people are getting...

No way to practically/accurately extrapolate between the two; they're entirely different motors and stock exhausts. However, turbo cars almost always make great gains from opening up the exhaust. In fact, my first thoughts when I saw the Gibson and MagnaFlow dynos was that they looked very much...

You don't, and I personally don't either. But we're car people, not "normal" people. And hatchbacks don't carry the same cachet and air of maturity that sports sedans, sports coupes, and sports cars do amongst "normal" people. If you work/hang with a crowd that feels otherwise, consider yourself...

Oh I knew it would be there with the EB, but factory NA motors RARELY leave over 8% more whp on the table from just the factory exhaust piping sitting behind the cats. That is NOT common, and it would be awesome if the 5.0 pulls that off. I generally don't enjoy tuning NA cars because the...

I'm still very skeptical until we find out more details, but wow, two dynos in a row showing ~30whp gains from a catback. Maybe they're both bunk, but I have to admit there is a chance that the suitcase is evil incarnate and the new GT is detuned a little from the factory and is going to be a...

I'm still very skeptical of these numbers, for all of the reasons already mentioned by everyone above, but I will say this: two parts manufacturer dynos in a row are now showing a 30whp gain from a catback exhaust. Still skeptical, but....maybe the suitcase actually IS a horsepower-robbing...

Too funny: I took a kart around Adams a decade ago when I visited my sis who was going to college in Redlands. Small world. Interesting. I need to drive one of those little turbo Fiestas I guess, because I was really impressed with the new WRX after having owned a 2002 and lived with a 2005 for...

I'm with you guys on the matte crap. Makes the car look 15 years old and ratty the day it drives off the lot.

Eh, a little. I'm getting a little too old/professional for hatchbacks frankly, even really, really nice ones. If you're knocking on the door of 35+years old, sport coupes, sport sedans, and flat-out sports cars just fit better than tweaked hatches. The EB Mustang just looks better, even if...

Having lived with my 330 ZHP for the last ~5 yrs (which is basically what's being replaced by the M235 in "spirit"...a standard model with a few M bits sprinkled on...), I'll say this: get the LSD if ordering a new car. And I agree that at the M235's now ~$50k price, that makes the Mustang the...

Agreed! I LOVE: the wheels and the rear diffuser :shocked: I LIKE: the spoiler and the hood vents and the Roush badge :thumbsup: I HATE: everything else :thumbdown:
