Who would pay over $40k for this?

This car, and any Infiniti G gets clobbered by anything German

The B8 S4 is a great car. Blown 6 cyl is the way to go.

How much was the RS4? I've seen them in the $40k-50k range and that is way too much for a car with an exterior/interior design that dates back to 2002 - it looks really dated and the interior looks like an A4 from the 90's.

For my money I'd get the e90/92 M3, equally potent, high-revving V8 and similar in price.

Scion/Toyota rep Detroit NA Auto Show said this car is the replacement for the Supra. Couldn't help but laugh in his face.

I asked at the Subaru stand (in Detroit) when they're coming out with a turbo edition with a hint of power. The guy at the Subaru stand said "it doesn't need to be fast, it can handle" . I said I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive

Think of it in terms of blower rpm rather than boost. On this car the same pulley was used for both runs so the blower rpm was the same and the supercharger would be moving the same amount of air. Boost is simply a measurement of restriction and is measured deep in the intake manifold. With TiVCT there is independant controls for each camshaft and simply moving the cams around will either create or remove a restriction without altering blower speed. On this car moving the cams removed a restriction allowing more cylinder fill, which creates higher cylinder pressures, which makes more power.

thanks for the explanation! /me dumb when it comes to supercharges vs. turbos

WAIT TILL IT SNOWS!!!

bwahahahahha

Can't wait for November 7th. :masturboy:

I should start saving up now for how much I'd like to spend in that week on eating out.

 

2nd recomendation for Du Amici in this thread, I'll have to try it out even though looking at their menu nothing jumped out at me.

what is november 7th? another restaurant week? due amici has a great atmosphere, especially outdoor patio if its nice out. $15 brunch = anything on the menu and one free cocktail, incl. badass bloody marys made tableside

I like black olive, marcellas, due amici, trattoria roma (grandview)

That's pretty cool. Love to try it but I can't imagine how much it would cost to actually purchase a unit. It may've been on the site, but I didnt look that well.

Its $99k . looks interesting.. yet gimmicky

A spending problem isn't a problem if you have the revenue to support the spending. Revenue needs increased, spending needs decreased. You fix both, not a huge hit on one or the other.

 

 

Can we tax the top .5% yet?

Sounds like some Keynesian load of b.s. that Krugman would say!

There's an App for that! TM

Ohh wait, no there's not! haha

Yeah, they haven't figured out how to do AWD & Sporty yet.

A shame really.

Because RWD is better?

btw, the HPFP is covered for 10 yr / 120k

fuck yeah

that is less than $2k in mods too

I'll take this over the overpriced and weak 335hp RS3 any day

(waiting for Audi fanbois)

bet these are the same people that expect the 51% of the US that actually pays taxes to pay their house payments.

fixed

Basically just cannot have jack shit in your cars these days (at least visible in any way). sad

I leave NOTHING in my cars for this reason. Some times you have to learn the hard way though.

people still use those things? i was sure that everyone one that wanted a performance rx7 has done a lsx swap by now.

 

Are you down for the event on the 13th? I hope it dont rain (again).

 

Talk to ya soon

rx-7 event?
