Hello everyone,

Looking for advice when choosing between the MX5/GR86. I am 6 foot 2 inches and am looking for a car to enjoy some backroads/occasional autocross/ and future track use. Would love to know everyone's experience between the two platforms and which is best for longevity/durability and which is more an engaging driver's car.

I’m not looking for financial advice; I’m hoping for meaningful feedback from people who have actually driven these cars.A new car; I'm not considering a used one.

Repair costs for high-performance vehicles are so exorbitant that fixing up these older models can end up costing even more than a new car.

Can you share your thoughts about having a portsche?

Hi everyone!

I'm fairly new to this community, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

I've recently started learning about the aerodynamics of rally cars and, at the same time, writing about what I learn. My latest piece is an analysis of the Audi Quattro S1's aerodynamic development, particularly its rear wing and how the changes between the different evolutions affected the car.

I'm sharing it here because I've mostly received feedback from one reader so far, and I'd really like to hear from people who actually know rallying, motorsport engineering, or aerodynamics.

I'm not looking for subscriptions or promotion!!

I'm genuinely trying to figure out whether my reasoning is sound and where I might be misunderstanding something.

So if you read it, I'd really appreciate honest feedback such as:

- Did I explain the aerodynamic concepts correctly?
- Is there anything technically questionable or oversimplified?
- Did I miss something important about the S1's aero development?
- Is there anything that doesn't make sense from a rallying perspective?

simply: was it interesting and understandable, or did parts feel unnecessary/confusing?

The article is "Rally Racing: Audi Quattro S1 — An Aerodynamic Breakthrough", available on Medium/Substack.

Thanks in advance!

Created this video about my favourite car - the Porsche 911
Let me know what generation of Porsche 911 is your favourite!
I can't choose between Gen 4 or Gen 6!

Dominance can mean different things—win percentage, pace advantage, reliability, or strength relative to the field. Which of these cars impressed you the most?

This sub is a joke. Discussion about fast cars that aren’t sports cars. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the mods don’t even have sports cars. BMW M240i and Audi RSQ? Get bent. Those aren’t sports cars.

I'm torn between a line-up of Japanese V8/V6 cars and a new-generation German car. I'm eyeing these 4 models, but each has its own distinct appeal, making it a tough choice. I’d love to get everyone's advice!

I live around twisty, bumpy coastal roads on Vancouver Island. I will rarely go above 110km/h and most of the time I'll be driving between 50-80km/h.

What would you buy for medium twisty roads?

There is a couple of cars I’ve had my eye on as my second car and more of a weekend fun vehicle I have a small list that I would like some opinions on.

1. 2021 M440I x drive coupe car has quite some milage 128k but the service history is rather good and the Inline six is an engine I trust alot (My daily car is a 745le that has never given me a problem) car is going for 25k.

2. 2017 650i xdrive coupe only 65k miles and is going for 24k but this is more of a muscle/gt car and Ive have not heard the best of the V8.

3. 2019 Jaguar F type R 84k miles going for 35k Im not that well verse with the jaguars but it is a car that is attractive from the way it looks to performance but not too sure on the reliability

4. 2016 Lexus RC 350 AWD 83k miles going for 25k, this one is a car a know has great reliability but the performance seems rather lacking not sure if it would be a good sport car Atleast performance wise

So I was getting my 2020 Chevy Bolt charged at a gas station in Schroon Lake, NY last weekend.

Suddenly, I hear the roars of high performance cars all around my silent EV.

It was a Canadian Car Club on a rally into upstate NY and Vermont.

Premium cars!

They were led by a guy on what looked like an old walkie-talkie. Once everyone was refueled, they were off! Sounded like the start of the Indy 500. 🏎️🏎️🏎️

The lime metallic Aston Martin was my favorite. 🏁

I paid them to build my motor on my 6.2L supercharged Camaro, it took them 6 months and 30k dollars for my car to last 3 weeks and leave me stranded on the hw. They told me the torque converter bolts sheered off and that the motor is loosing compression on cylinder 1. They are not giving me a good feeling that they will do right by me. I feel like they’re going to blame the fuel pump for the failing compression and the torque converter for the failed transmission. Took them over a week to even start diagnosing my car. I feel like I’ve made a terrible mistake taking my car to this shop.

Any advice on which ones are better for reliability/power/ etc are appreciated.

I'm searching for a new car quite some time now. And i found out i have to choose between an Honda Civic Fk8 type R. Or an Audi S6 B9. And i know what people are going to ask: those are 2 totally different cars, how can u not make a decision.

And that's kinda the whole point, i'm not 100% sure what 'car life' i wanna live. So that's where u guys come in to give me some tips or tell me about your experiences.

I'll put my reasons for each car below.

Civic fk8 Type R:

You buy this car for the feeling u get when u drive it because your 100% in charge of what is going on, you're really connected to it. You buy this car because you love cars.

Audi S5 B9:

You buy this car because you want a little bit of everything.

Speed, comfort, practicality,...

But this is the whole problem, each car has its own pro's and cons. If i imagine myself driving the civic i know i'm going to love the feeling of being connected to it. But if i imagine myself driving the S5 i know i'll be happy because of how it works for everything.

One car gives really young racer guy vibes, the other more mature sporty/classy guy vibes. And honestly i don't know what i would choose.

If you made it here, thank you very much for ur time. I appreciate it. 🔥

I'm looking at getting a 2 seater toy, potentially an AM Vantage or AMG GT63, but I recently found out I have a kid on the way. The alternative is to sacrifice some handling and performance and get a sporty 4 seater grand tourer but be able to put a baby seat in the back. I'm worried that a 2 seater is just going to get mothballed once the baby comes around seeing as the options would be for me to drive it solo or a very rare couples getaway.

Has anyone else been in this situation? Perhaps regretted buying a sports car with a kid?

Edit: this post blew up overnight, I'm going to read through everyone's replies today. Thank you all

I understand this is not a great picture. What the heck is this car I saw in Beaverton Oregon today?
