I think they're awesome little cars, just need a small turbo.

Lowest center of gravity of any production car, or something like that. Just needs another 200hp and some decent tires now.

I do think they cost about 3K more than they should for a scion.

That was a sick lineup, how could they put a BRZ over any Corvette though...

When he was in the intro, I thought he was going to say YouTuber's complained about no DR's for the cars lol. Guess I was dreaming

That Lambo Aventador is flat out nasty...

You really don't get it do ya?? The 12 camaro has updated suspension vs the 10 camaro. I would think even you would want to compare a 12 to a 12.

Did anyone catch the dive planes on the Mercedes?

12.1@117 is sucking in dead for 580hp and its fancy BS suspension and 56k+. So it runs what a stock bossand 5.0 can.

Subbie has a 12.5:1 compression... they're milking all they can out that engine at the moment. I'm sure boosting it with hopes of higher hp is going to require piston work at the very least. Where did you see 40mpg at, Diet? I've seen 34mpg highway at MOST... but mostly everyones got em at the 30mph highway.

They are putting out an sti version next year which should be better... but as for that 200hp one... I wouldn't buy that... not even for a daily. Not at $25k... you could find so much better used with about equal gas consumption... with a 94mph trap speed, you'd get pulled on by a Camry SE V6 4 door. Food for thought.

V6 Mustang beat it... in a quarter mile... and sadly... in a road course. Its $25k and it comes on Prius tires... C'mon. The V6 mustang gets 30mpg highway for basically same price.

The Mustang is a totally different type of car. This is a limited production car for a reason.

LMAO!!! Im willing to bet that bonzai shootout drag race was not timed!!! It was just to see how the cars would finish side by side. Notice that the "times" they give are the same exact times each car got on either a head to head or single road test...

Oh and those times are corrected.

Bottom line is its crazy impressive for the GT500 to be that close to a 2013 GTR from a DIG!!! Im pretty cofident it was reeling the GTR in also.

Just like this...
