Blocko posted:I love hatches but I really wish they would make AWD or RWD variants instead of the same old FWD torque steer machines. For the money the RS500 costs i'd look into something RWD or AWD any day as 350hp going to the front wheels is just begging to be driven into a tree. R32 fits that bill but it's not 300 hp though that can be taken care of with a bit of cash.

BonzoESC posted:I work from home in a really walkable district in Miami, so I only drive once a week or so. When my car dies, I really have no idea what I'll get. I want a GTI, but I can't rationalize it at all. Nobody who owns a GTI can rationalize it. That's the point - it's a luxury.

BoostCreep posted:Hyundai has to step it up to stay competitive. The 370Z, Mustang, and Camaro, which seem to be the Genesis Coupe's competition, keep getting more and more powerful. If they don't put the direct injection in the Genesis to bump the power, they will fall behind considerably. I would seriously have went out and bought an '11 Genesis Coupe last week if I didn't see there was a chance for this new engine. If I bought an '11 and then 6 months later it had 64 more horses I'd be pretty pissed off. You can live without a sunroof and you can always get the interior redone in leather with better quality leather for a grand or even less depending on who does it. It does suck that you can't pick options "a la carte" as much as you used to be able to.

Lowclock posted:It's still front wheel drive and is one of the most boring looking automobiles I've ever seen, and continues to bastardize one of GM's best names. I don't know who's buying them besides fleets and senior citizens. I had a fresh 2008 as a rental car once and the only way I could describe driving it would be "Bluhhhh". I don't think people are thinking about fake wood Roadmasters. I think they just really don't like wagons which is why Audi Avants and BMW Touring don't sell that well. They'd rather buy SUVs. I happen to love hatchbacks and wagons so I don't think that but I'm not the one with the money for a new BMW or Audi.

The utility of a minivan cannot be beat. I love cars but I rented a minivan once to haul a bunch of stuff to a nearby city and drat that thing was nice. Easy to drive, comfortable captain style chairs, tons of space. Way more useful to me than a pickup or SUV would be.

bidikyoopi posted:What's wrong with the clutch exactly? Too soft? Weird engagement? I had an '01 GTI and I thought the clutch was just dandy but I'm not a serious race dude or whatever. *edit* Read kyoon's reply... yeah my clutch wasn't anywhere near that explanation.

Keyser S0ze posted:Yeah, I understand that. I freak out sometimes when I have to drive an automatic and someone locks up in front of me and I react by immediately looking for clutches and gearshifts to engage and stop, plus the big giant brake pedal throws me off. Strange but when I drive an auto I realize there's no clutch and don't go for it.

Cream_Filling posted:I thought the main point of a dry sump setup was to mount the engine lower down (and relocate the weight of the oil reservoir), not oil starvation. Hell, converting a SBC to dry sump is mostly bolt-on parts, I believe. I think the main point is so when you're pulling GEEEEs you don't starve the engine for oil.
