I'm honestly surprised that 0-60 on cars isnt better in todays world. Low 7's are what performance trims of entry level cars from the late 90's got. I figured by now solid mid 6's would be normal.

I cant watch SmokingTire anymore, they have just kind of go the way of high end elitest dicks unless they are reviewing a persons build they give a lot of sway room about it. If its not top trim and the sportiest tire possible they just kinda rag on about how average it is. Even before I had a...

i some what think BMW forced this JUST to save BWM costs on the Z4

What I'm getting is that most of the performance differences vs the Si are due to just 120Lbs and the tires.

The biggest issue I herd was one they solved a bit ago which was oil starvation on hard cornering. There is a LOT of 3.0T's on the road, i feel like you'd have to have a LOT of miles or be over spinning it a lot to kill it, but even then it would likely be an issue with the turbos maker, not...

The engines actually been very reliable, not sure what you're talking bout.

So, assuming you don't need a back seat.... at 40k what are you getting? Type-S 272-300HP 4door liftback with FWD, and nice luxury options or a base model 400HP RWD coupe? Part of me could go both ways. Fun says the Z, sensible says the Type-S

Not really, the S3 is over 3500lbs. and 301hp, the Integra, assuming that the weight numbers leaked are correct, can have a Type S with the 272HP 2.0T and still be competitive as it will likely be under 3250lbs. 300 will help marketing a lot sure, but 272 with its weight will likely keep it...

A-Spec or A-Spec Tech? because if you're thinking it will be 42-43k then it's going to have a HARD fight with the S3 as it has AWD, 300hp and is 46K. If the Integra shows up with just a 272HP 2.0T for just 3k less it's going to be a hard fight to justify itself. At 40-42 that arguments a bit...

250 HP would get it laughed out of its class at its price point. Does Audi complain the Golf R competes with the A3 or S3 to much? Or the S3 competes with the A4 to much?

My biggest issue and worry is that if they use the Accord 2.0T and not ATLEAST the TLX 2.0T it will be destroyed in every comparison against its competition at its price point. 252HP is fine when your in the low to mid 30K like the GTi and Mazda 3, but not when at 40k

I'm expecting 39-41 as it seems almost everything else was shifted up about 1500-2k from expectations from inflation. Still in the range that I'd pay for.

If you buy your own LSD that alone is 1k for the part, not counting install. Speaker system, HUD, suspension upgrade, seat upgrade, the smaller stuff, probably easily cover the other 4k.

I would, NA motors get enough blow by I'd definitely want one on a turbo. I have to empty mine every 2-3 oil changes.

Arent they 35's?

It depends on the cleaners/additives. Usually, a brand puts higher amounts/quality of additives/cleaners in its top-grade fuels and depending on the car those fuels will have a cleaner burn. Which CAN help slow the buildup of carbon but not in a very meaningful way. It also helps to have a PVC...

I live in PA, roads are shit, and 19's are fine.

If Regular is recommended then its just fine to use. If premium is Recommended then sometimes i'll step down to 89 if the price is very high. That said even if 87 is "recommended" you can benefit form higher grades. Aside from them usually having better cleaners, you MAY have a small power and...

I mean Integra is Premium over the Civic, but to me Acura and Mazda are over lapping in that they are pushing more to be "premium" not necessarily "luxury". As that's not really a category makes them either seem like "upscale entry level"(mazda) or "low end luxury"(acura) based on who their...

I'm the opposite, I think the Circuit looks way to boy racer like, and the core is the only version I'd ever dare to be seen in. Same reason I never got a Civic Type-R. I'd feel like a toolbag being seen getting in and out of it.
