May 20, 20179 yr comment_765099 Took almost two hours and an orbital buffer to remove cone residue from the rocker panels (or at least the visible parts) but my car is looking pretty good and not battle worn. Of course I'll probably fuck it up in 2 weeks at the next round but at least the baseline will be better. Washed the other cars too. Love the relatively cheap Meguiar's stuff gives such a nice shine for basically no work and their scratch stuff is great. Report

May 30, 20179 yr comment_765985 The new Audi RSTT definitely has my interest. Love the tweaked styling. 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, from a small 5 cylinder. The Jaguar F type SVR, with it's 575 ponies is only .1 second quicker. And love the diamond stitched interior! Report
May 30, 20179 yr comment_765986 Audi's interiors are impeccable. The one thing I struggle with them over is how much they charge for add'l power. They go crazy differentiating the sporty version from the base version when it comes to the pocket book... HS Report
May 30, 20179 yr Author comment_765988 I have a friend with the old TTrs. That 5 cylinder is the real deal. I have contemplated picking up a RS3 when they hit the market. Report

May 30, 20179 yr comment_765993 Ford is doing a 2018 Focus RS special edition with a LSD. If that doesn't knock it out of class in the BS class it will be a total ringer. Dammit I was committed to the ST for 2 more seasons. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Report
May 31, 20179 yr comment_766002 Be strong, DH! I have a similar dilemma. Love my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. AWD with the 6.4L HEMI and the 8-speed trans with paddles and big Brembos. Maybe 11K miles. They're coming out with the Hellcat (supercharged) version of the Jeep called the Trackhawk...ugh. Must......be......strong HS Report

June 4, 20179 yr comment_766442 Won my class (again only 3 cars) by about a second and a half. Not a good drive and was barely in the top half on PAX. Still it was fun to go fast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Report

Porsche PDK and BMW DCT cars are quite a bit faster than their manual counterparts. Edited June 5, 20179 yr by EdipisReks1 Report
June 5, 20179 yr comment_766472 Quicker or Faster? δv/δt or Vmax? And yet the quickest car was the least fun. I'm glad they took your advice and decided not to make such a worthless comparison /s Report

June 17, 20179 yr comment_767596 Looks like the new Honda Civic Type R is headed stateside. There's a convenient vid in the photo gallery for the less than motivated. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/auto/2017-honda-civic-type-r-preview/ One thing Honda can do is build motors. Really impressive mills they make IMO. Not a big fan of the looks, but that's just me....old school. HS Report
