When I had a PT Cruiser as a rental car while my car was in the shop, I tried to go for the "clutch" more than a few times. The one I remember best was when I was pulling into a parking spot, and I felt a huge jerk forward. Only after that happened, I realized that my foot had clipped the ...

The 350Z is NOT underpowered. It needs to lose some weight. That'll help with everything, actually - a lighter car is a car that performs better.

Horsepower is not everything, people.

If you rev-matched correctly, you can dump the clutch and there will not be a jerk. You can even pop the clutch, but that's never a good thing to do so I don't recommend that you do that.

Personally, I don't like the "Of The Year" competitions. Most of the time, after the (x)oTY is chosen, there is always a new model that comes along that proves to be a superior product than the Car/Truck/SUV of the Year. Small comparison tests that happen each time a new model is released ...

The boards are really going to hell these days, aren't they? A lot of our members have already left because of the sheer amount of BS. Nobody seems interested in quelling the flow of this BS, either - the moderators aren't on very often anymore, and we have people at each others' throats all the tim...

The Car of the Year competition has a specific set of rules. For a car model to be eligible, it must be a completely new model that was released as a 2007 model BEFORE a certain date. It also has to meet certain criteria which I can't remember off the top of my head. Motor Trend almost chose the Cay...

Two can play at that game so here goes it.



Canada Eh? Figures.....(sorry any other canadians.)

What's the jab at Canadians for?

I wasn't taking sides here. I just have a personal thing against people putting others down in other languages.

There are some people on the boards that understand French. I'd keep what you're saying to yourself.

I have an airsoft M4A1. It's made by ICS, and has a metal body. I haven't seen that thing in a while though - it's at my friend's house.

Mazdaspeed6 is still a trim of a Mazda6. They just turboed the 2.3L and gave it all wheel drive, some nice trim and body aero but underneath it's still a Mazda6. If you want a real example how about the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Corolla Matrix. Same engines, and platform but completely differen...

Okay, bad example. I think the Mazda6/Mazdaspeed6 would fit better.

The Evo is not a "trim" of the Lancer. It is a different car. This is similar to saying the STI is a "trim" package of the Impreza. It's not.

Okay, how about a 50% tax?

Hey, I didn't do it.
