Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Man, that is hideous. Couldn't they at least try to make it look decent? lol

I think it looks alright! Especially the rear and interior. Overall a massive improvement over the old car but starts at $120K CAD or 30% more than a Macan GTS m

 

Also hmmm

I never considered the GT3 RS to begin with, considering that it's more of a pure track toy, than anything else. The new non-RS model would be better comparison to the NSX in my opinion.

Im just odd and would daily one aha (I've been in a 2.8 swapped 316i compact, stripped out, with a welded diff, wasnt too uncomfy and the guy daily's that some 80 mile round trips to work)

But yeah, the GT3 is more of a comparison

Needs money for car parts :P

Made use of the little 1 day holiday and went driving with my dad. 

Not being used to it, I got a little sore, but overall the CBF is a comfortable bike. I love how smooth it is at any rpm compared to the one cyl bikes I've driven before.

Yeah people don't rev out their engines here. They want to be able to push the pedal and the car just go. 

 

As soon as battery tech gets revised, electric cars are gonna be insanely popular here.

Why should I have to spend the time revving the engine out when I could just have the torque already and go.

You have rev out a large engine, so there's your fun. Waiting for that shit to get you going however makes me want to set the car on fire for being slow for no reason.

Will be real interesting to have a proper V8 later. All that torque <3 

I already don't have to rev my current engine out too much to end up going too fast for a b-road. 

With a V8 i'm imagining that feeling turned up to 11. 

And even with my little 6 i never have to touch the gas to set off. Its glorious. Just let up the clutch and off ya go.

When i swap in an 8 it'll be with an automatic (Most likely) and then that will be even nicer.

 

Wish we had something slightly larger than what we have currently over here (Most of our RV's are quite small) 

But then again.. Not as many morons driving large vehicles on the road is a +

Honda should make a "budget" version of the NSX inspired by the original and follows the same formula at a $50k-70k price point. 

 

Alternatively, they could bring back the S2K

I think they are waiting for the new supra, which I hope they don't plan on directly competing with it. The supra will be a fat, overpriced, v6 BMW. 

 

Honda should try to compete with the Miata.

No automatics are not as nice or fun to drive as stick unless it's a dsg type automatic.

Do they require inspections and special drivers licenses currently or is that something they need?

I like driving automatics. Sure a manual is fun now and then but for commuting it gets a bit old. 

If i can score a T56 magnum i'm going for a manual. But 4L60E's are more plentiful and cheaper.

Agreed. American inspection laws seem like a bit of a double edged sword. On one hand you can do more stuff with your car. Which is great for car guys.

On the other hand the lazy jackasses can get away with too much crap.

Makes normal speeds all the more fun.

 

Our RVs are pretty big, but we've also got the space for them basically everywhere. Unfortunately a lot of owners are really fucking stupid.

Can you have fun in an auto: yes

Is it nice to not have to manually shift all of the time: yes
