Today, an affordable, practical hatchback can roll off the assembly line with over 250 horsepower and beat both those cars in the twisties, the quarter mile, and at the pump. With performance so readily available to the average consumer, what's there to complain about?<br />
<br />
Think back about ten years ago. Things were beautiful back then. Car companies were big and plentiful; NASA was mapping Mars; Tiger Woods was known for his superb golfing instead of his superb pimping. Above all, the pinnacle of automotive excellence was the F1 inspired Ferrari Enzo which sported one carbon fiber body, four carbon brakes, six semi-automatic gears, twelve cylinders, and 650 horsepower. It was the perfect time for the Enzo because people still had 401Ks to pay for the $660,000 supercar. <br />
<br />
V12? $660,000? 650 horsepower? What's the big deal? All of these specs can be found in the super and hypercars of today. Yes, that's true but that last number can be found in something a little less spectacular, the 2013 Mustang GT500. As you'd expect, this Mustang, as with all Mustangs, is a car for the blue collar masses. It doesn't live in the glorified realm of a Ferrari or the pampered extravagance of a Concours D'elegance. Its $55,000 price tag will be mocked at the country club while its 12 second quarter mile will be bench raced against the blueprinted, ported and polished LS1 powered Chevelle that belongs to the boys that bellied up to the bar for a shot and a beer.<br />

<br />
That's all well and good. It's what this GT500 was built for, blazing through the quarter mile with a great hole shot thanks to that solid rear axle. The problem arises when the buyer is more concerned about Miley Cyrus than quarter miles. Put another way, what will happen when Joe Schmoe off the street hands over the cash for all that power without knowing how to handle it?<br />
<br />
Now, power isn't a bad thing! It's just worrisome to know that the median American income is around $46,000 and stretching payments on a $55,000 car for 5 years isn't a far fetched idea for this consumer driven country. The price of this car almost guarantees that there will be buyers who just looked at how much horsepower they could get for how little money. That kind of thinking interlaced with crowned, potholes, and gravel strewn real world roads can only result in more than a few GT500s in a ditch... next to a FR-S.<br />

<br />
Yes! I said it! God's gift to the enthusiast community will end up abused, crashed, and broken on more than one occasion, even if it has 450 (!) less horsepower than the above mentioned GT500.<br />
<br />
For the very few that don't know, the Scion FR-S is the car that brings Toyota back into the sports car game. It doesn't overwhelm with power or technological wizardry but charms with a rear wheel drive layout, perfect 50/50 weight distribution, a low center of gravity, and sport tuned suspension. And therein lies the problem.<br />
<br />
There are very few sub-$25,000 cars that sport rear wheel drive. The Mazda Miata is the most likely rival at the track. While that car has less power and is mocked by many as belonging to a hairdresser, it's known by enthusiasts for its poise and precision. That ability to fly under the radar of the general population is what has allowed it to be an easy choice for cheap thrills specifically by the enthusiast crowd.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Scion has decided to release commercials that look like this.<br />

The ingenious people at Toyota have decided to show everyone what drifting is. Think of all the teenagers and young, stupid 20-somethings who bought a Scion tC because its cool factor was determined by the fact that it's a coupe and it's cheap. Now think of what car would be the perfect upgrade for them. A Honda Accord coupe? Nope. A FR-S, the car that race car driver Randy Pobst said doesn't inspire confidence? Sadly, yes. Maybe the mainstream deserves more credit than this. Maybe they can handle a lightweight rear wheel drive coupe. Than again, that mainstream population is the same group of people who thought the BMW 1-series was front wheel drive... and that's without a drifting commercial.Danny Chinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09915805744233369119noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648364162258246551.post-5401050168614191012012-06-11T22:06:00.002-04:002012-06-11T22:06:54.311-04:00Parlez Vous Francais?Apparently, there's some race called the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend in France.

It can also be viewed via Youtube... which means it's also here on FPH. What a great way to kick off this race filled weekend!<br />

While I do like NASCAR the first two represent 2/3rds of racing's triple crown (the other being the 24 hours of LeMans). The main event for me is the 500. With all due respect to the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 is the still the most significant race in the USA in my opinion. <br />
<br />
This year's race is loaded with story lines, the biggest of which is the new car. First off it's slower, second there is noticeable gaps between engine manufactures. Its Chevy > Honda >>>>>>>>>>>>> Lotus. Lotus is way off pace to the tune of 16 MPH off of the pole speeds (yet IndyCar decided not to let them use extra boost). Its a borderline safety hazard, they will be moving chicanes. If they don't maintain 105% pace they will be removed though. <br />
<br />
There are also new names in the fray, the biggest star thus far in the month of May has been James Hinchcliffe who takes over Danica Patrick's (and what was to be Dan Wheldon's) ride in the Andretti Go Daddy Chevy. He is quite the character, he is the mayor of his own imaginary internet town <a href="http://www.hinchtown.com/" target="_blank">Hinchtown</a>. He missed the pole by a whopping .003 mph average. You've also got Josef Newgarden driving for Sarah Fisher's team who was the best Honda in the field in 7th as a rookie. He was the Indy Lights champion last season and won at Indy in that series. Sarah Fisher is also entering Bryan Clauson, a rookie Indiana boy who took the traditional USAC ladder to Indy. He had a very promising qualifying effort going on pole day before he took a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTUJnm0MV24&feature=g-all-u" target="_blank">hard hit</a> on lap 4. Being that there were only 33 cars, all he had to do was get in 4 clean laps on bump day which he did. He will start 31st, ahead of the two Lotus snails. <br />

While not everyone can agree with Jay Leno's sense of humor, even the most bitter critics of Jay Leno's chin have a hard time denying the awesomeness of his car collection.<br />
<br />
Given the opportunity, wouldn't you like a collection like that of your own? But let's be realistic, not all of us can make a fortune hosting the longest running TV show on NBC. What's more, as a New Yorker, there wouldn't be anywhere for me to put my collection even if I had one. Never mind the maintenance and insurance, I can't imagine what a hassle it would be if I had to move my fleet of supercars twice a week because of alternate side parking.<br />
<br />
In a city of 17 million people, I can't be the only car guy around that's craving for the chance to get behind the wheel of my dream cars. Wouldn't it be great if I could drive a classic Jaguar E-type, enjoy it for that rare sunny Saturday afternoon, and let someone else worry about everything else? That's where the Manhattan Classic Car Club comes in. In order to find out what CCC is all about, my friend Jeffrey Butler of <a href="http://motoriginal.tumblr.com/">Motoriginal</a> and I decided to meet up Wednesday afternoon to visit its SoHo establishment in person.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />

When Jeff and I walked in, it became apparent that the Classic Car Club might not be the best name to represent the place after all, and I mean that in a good way. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Is it a Club?</b> Well, yes it is, but you'll be surprised. You won't find a "No Girls Allowed" sign hanging by the door nor a bunch of elitist yuppies wearing "members-only" jackets, because CCC is actually one of the friendliest places for car enthusiasts in the entire city. Adam was the first person that walked up to speak with us. Once a member himself, Adam became such a believer of the concept that he decided to join the CCC team.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Really, the concept behind the Classic Car Club is almost too good to be true. Essentially, once you become a member of the club, it simply becomes a matter of booking the day or weekend for the car of your choosing. An annual club membership starts at $4,500, granting you access to the most eclectic collection of cars you'll ever see. You'll also get 24 hour access to the Classic Car Clubhouse (there's happy hour too!), as well as a calendar of events including private track days, international rallies, wine tastings, and karting days, all shared with fellow club members and enthusiasts. <br />
<br />
$4,500 is about as much as a beater Honda. What's more, if a membership still doesn't seem like a sound investment, you still have the option of splitting the membership cost with a friend!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Does it only offer Classic Cars?</b> Rather than to offer a selection from only a certain vintage, the CCC inventory is a wide ranging spectrum of toys; from a Shelby GT350, a custom open-top Ford Bronco, a Shelby Cobra replica, an MG, a selection of air-cooled Porsches, and a DeLorean, to contemporaries like an Acura NSX, an Ariel Atom, a Merc-Benz SLS AMG, a Ferrari 458 Italia, and more. Dear Lord!<br />
<br />
The variety isn't random. In fact, Classic Car Club's inventory of automobiles are thanks to countless hours of scouring the internet and classifieds. Sure, some purchases might have been impulsive, but many required careful consideration. CCC was especially specific regarding its choice of Acura NSX, looking for a 1991 (first model year) painted in Formula Red for its great historical significance. However, of the 40+ cars, Adam confessed that the Alfa Romeo GTV would probably be his most favorite of all.<br />
<br />
Jeannette, who has been working for the CCC for more than 4 years now, had a moment to speak with us as well. She was especially partial to a Chevelle, until CCC got rid of it not too long ago. Jeannette revealed something quite interesting -- although CCC's employees often get emotionally attached to certain cars, the Club never holds onto a car for too long. A rotation of vehicles, some bought, some provided by its members, keep the inventory fresh and assure the members that new toys are always just around the corner. <br />
<br />
We asked Adam if we were allowed to take pictures of the collection. He told us to go crazy.<br />

Walking in from the front entrance, the CCC seemed like a typical showroom floor. Then, as you start walking towards the rear, the place transforms into a working garage, reminding you that unlike your average high-end car collection, each and every car must be a daily driver and CCC goes to great lengths to make sure that they're all in good working order.<br />
<br />
Reluctant to leave, Jeff turned to me and said, "Why can't I just live here?" My sentiments exactly. <br />

Shaping up to be one of the strangest seasons in modern Formula 1, every race in the 2012 season so far has handed a victory to a different driver and a different team. In fact, the inconsistent performance and results from one venue to the next have been so mind boggling, interviews with even the most experienced of drivers and engineers from top tier teams could only provide us with a tepid, "I don't know," "we will see," "It's difficult to say," or "Hopefully we can gain performance from our upcoming upgrades."<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">Given the nature of the season so far, I prophesied </span><span class="Apple-style-span">that a victory for Williams wouldn't be out of the question. All it takes is a little havoc -- a wet race, a safety car, anything unforeseen. But when young Pastor Maldonado finally provided Williams its first Grand Prix victory since Brazil in 2004, what was most surprising of all was to see the team bring it all together so soon and with such authority -- leading from pole. Adding some romance to Williams' achievement, the victory was also regarded as a belated birthday present for Sir Frank Williams as he celebrated his 70th birthday not too long ago. Sadly, a bizarre garage fire would disrupt WilliamsF1's moment of glory only 90 minutes after Maldonado clinched the race win.</span><br />

In total, Williams F1 competed in a total of 577 Grands Prix, taken 7 Driver's Championships, 9 Constructor's, 114 race wins, and started the race from pole 127 times. Not bad, considering Eddie Jordan called Williams a minnow team.<br />
<br />
While Eddie Jordan's remark might seem like a dig at Williams, it isn't completely untrue. In fact, Williams' reputation as an underdog is one of the traits that made the team so appealing.<br />

Unlike Enzo Ferrari or Bruce McLaren, who were heavily involved at Alfa Romeo and Cooper, respectively, before establishing their own teams, Frank Williams' inroad to Formula 1 was more of a gamble. Before Frank made a career out of motorsports, one of his earlier jobs was as a traveling grocery salesman, a job he used to fund his passion for driving in Formula 3.<br />
<br />
By 1966, Frank Williams realized the peak of his driving talents and made the shrewd choice to make the shift for the operational side of racing instead, founding his first Formula 1 race team, Frank Williams Racing Cars.<br />

<br />
Early race efforts were especially difficult. In 1970, Williams partnered with Argentine builder de Tomaso for a Dallara designed F1 chassis. Unfortunately, the chassis wasn't competitive and eventually caused an accident that killed Williams driver and a close friend, Piers Courage. Bouncing back from the tragedy, 1972 saw the very first F1 car with a Williams design. Unfortunately, driver Henri Pescarolo wrote it off after an accident in its first race.<br />
<br />
Against the ropes, Frank Williams' bank account was so depleted that he could no longer pay the bills and eventually conducted team business from a public pay phone after his landline got disconnected. Marlboro and Iso Rivolta initially pledged sponsorship support but eventually, the deal fell through and Frank lost his team. Rather than to throw in the towel and return to the business of traveling grocery sales, Frank and his engineer, Patrick Head, invested in an empty carpet warehouse in Oxfordshire to begin anew. WilliamsF1 was born.<br />
<br />
Williams' first GP victory arrived under the talented Clay Regazzoni behind the Cosworth Williams FW07 at the 1979 British GP in Silverstone. Yet despite Regazzoni's performance, Frank Willaims decided to relieve him and invest some more in Australian driver Alan Jones instead.<br />
<br />
According to journalists familiar with Williams, Frank's lack of emotional commitment to his racing drivers is contributed to the death of Piers Courage and a personal understanding of the dangers and risks involved with the sport. Other critics accused Frank of being a bit too obsessive with racing and performance. In fact, Frank Williams has even said, "We don't carry passengers in this business." Regazzoni wasn't short on talent, but Frank believed Jones had a little extra. It's just business. As it turns out, Alan Jones would provide WilliamsF1 it's first Driver's and Constructor's championship titles in 1980. Frank Williams' foresight was spot on.<br />

<br />
A dynasty of legendary drivers and marvelous racing cars from 1981 to 1997 allowed WilliamsF1 to earn another six Driver's and eight Constructor's titles. Unfortunately, Frank Williams' life never did run smooth. In 1986, Frank Williams departed from a testing session at the Paul Ricard race track to catch a flight at the airport in Nice. Driving a rental Ford Sierra with Peter Windsor at a high rate of speed without wearing a seatbelt, the Sierra lost control and flipped over, resulting in a tremendous accident that left Williams with a spinal fracture that caused him to become quadriplegic.<br />
<br />
Just as Frank avoided feeling sentimental about his drivers, he refused to invest emotional capital on his handicap either. Business as usual, the Honda powered WilliamsF1 team would continue on to win the 1986 and 1987 Constructor's championship despite Frank's limited involvement during that period.<br />
<br />
After Piers Courage, Frank Williams had a closer relationship with Ayrton Senna than his previous drivers. In fact, Williams was the first Formula 1 owner to spot Senna's potential in the early Eighties, when he was still competing in Formula 3. However, circumstances prevented Senna to drive for Williams until 1994.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it would be a short-lived relationship when Senna lost his life behind the wheel of the difficult FW16, smashing into the first corner barrier of lap six at Imola. Not only was Senna's death a blow to team morale, but Italian law pressed criminal charges for manslaughter, attacking Frank Williams as a person. When both race team and driver push technical and physical abilities to the very limit, tragic accidents happen. While the charges didn't hold, there's no doubt that the legal proceeding inflicted a great amount of damage to Williams' reputation. WilliamsF1 faced adversity as it always had, answering doubters of Williams' strength by achieving Constructor's championships in 1994, 1996, and 1997 under Renault power.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, WilliamsF1's performance dropped off since its glory days and it almost seems like the team has lost that X factor that have kept them consistently on the podium for so many years. The keywords are "almost seemed." Apparently, all Williams needed was a Renault. Current Red Bull, and former Williams, driver Mark Webber took some time to speak with Frank Williams when they celebrated his 70th: "Mate, 70 years old, plenty of years to go yet."<br />
<br />
Frank smiled, "Yes, absolutely."<br />

A long illustrious career, Frank Williams suffered more misfortunes and controversies than most. Defying the odds, the Queen recognized Frank Williams' resilience and awarded him the title of CBE, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, in 1987. Again, Williams would be knighted in 1999. What's more, Williams' racing achievements with Renault engines also earned him the honor as one of the few non-Frenchmen to receive the title of Chevalier of France's Legion d'honneur. Without a doubt, Frank Williams is a true hero and inspiration in every sense of the word.<br />

<br />
Any enthusiast worth his nomex driving gloves knows that Audi is a powerhouse in the world of endurance racing. With ten overall Le Mans victories since the race in 2000, no manufacturer has ever achieved the same levels of success that the boys from Ingolstadt have in such a short amount of time. So, what happens when your trophy cabinet is overflowing with French hardware? Relive the glory by making a documentary, of course!<br />
<br />
Fresh from a screening held at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Ma, I can share my thoughts on the second documentary that...errrr... documents the Audi way of life at Le Mans.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The original documentary, <i>Truth in 24</i>, which was released in 2009 showcased the buildup to the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans with a recap of the Audi team at two prior races in the season at Sebring and Spa. 2012's <i>Truth in 24 II: Every Second Counts</i> doesn't stray far from that formula. Actually, it's the exact same right down to the villainous Peugeot team lurking in the background always ready to spoil Audi's day.<br />
<br />
For those that followed the race last year, you must be the biggest racing nerd ever. Honestly, who follows 24 hours of racing?!?! Additionally, where were you last year?! I was lonely...<br />
<br />
Anyways, for the nerds out there like myself, there isn't much to learn from this new documentary. Without trying to spoil this for the casual observers, we remember the incidents between Audi and Ferrari, the aggression of Peugeot, and the emotional roller coaster throughout the race. However, the little bits and pieces that aren't picked up by the Speed Channel's broadcast are brought to light in this film. The ability and experience of the Audi crew to get off that emotional roller coaster and continue on with the task at hand speaks volumes about their dedication to not just the team but each other on a personal basis. It goes hand and hand with the changes in strategy that are executed as the race evolves through no fault of their own.<br />
<br />
For the super nerdy amongst us, the engineers and technology geeks, the film is a let down. While talking about the one piece monocoque and the twin turbo diesel V6, not one image of the actual component was shown. Before getting up in arms about proprietary technology or keeping secrets from their rivals, let's remember that images of these things are easily available with a quick Google search. This documentary which seems to focus on the human side of racing does a disservice to the people that built such a fine racing weapon by not elaborating on its complexity and precision.<br />
<br />
Overall, this film can't be faulted for trying to walk a fine line between the hardcore enthusiast and the casual car/race fan. It shows the racing fanboys that there is more to racing than just high-tech cars, lap times, and science while the automatic transmissioned Audi A4 driver gets to see that there's more to it than cars driving around in circles. It's a solid 7 on a scale to 10. Luckily, nobody has to pay to see this as it will be aired on Speed at 4:00pm EST on Saturday. If they stick to the formula, it should be free to download from iTunes a few days later.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><b>May
1st marks the anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death </b>and tonight, I decided to
remember him in a bit of an unusual way - by putting on the Senna biopic and inviting my parents to join me. In an effort to convey the story the best I could, I paused the movie every now and again to
reiterate the importance of select moments that made Senna a legend. In total, the duration of Senna is about 2 hours and 40 minutes. It probably took us three-and-a-half.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Unlike
racing fans that remember Senna best from his shear talent behind the
wheel, my parents were more captivated of Senna's moments before the
start of his last race. There was a dark cloud that hung over Formula 1 and a general, unspoken uneasiness that had overwhelmed everyone at Imola.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Ratzenberger's death that weekend was the first fatal accident to occur since 1982. It was also the first time in a
whole generation that the paddock had experienced a casualty from the sport. Pre-race footage on that fateful day captured a lot of moments where mechanics sat in silence,
staring expressionless at the floor, reflecting. In contrast, there was a
keen expression on Ayrton Senna's face, while occasionally passing forced grins to his
team in a feeble attempt to hide his anxiety. He sat in silence,
waiting, as if he knew something would happen to him too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Nothing's changed. My parents still haven't the slightest interest in motor racing and likely never will. However, they, too, have become admirers of Ayrton Senna.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I couldn't resist; here's the on-board footage of Senna flying through a lap of Monaco:</span><br />

A furled Austrian flag was found in the Williams when the medical staff extracted Senna from the broken racing car. Senna would have raised it in honour of Ratzenberger after the race.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648364162258246551.post-28295485812944126972012-04-29T21:07:00.002-04:002012-04-29T21:07:36.954-04:00Breathe EasyRecently, I've received a few emails from friends and family asking me to look over their tune-up invoice to see if they are being ripped off. At the top of each invoice, it seems that mechanics are over charging for a simple air filter change. I've seen some charge up to $55 for this service! This is three times more than the actual cost of a regular paper filter that can be bought at any Autozone, Pep Boys, etc. As a service to you, here's a quick video I found on Youtube that walks you through the simple process of changing an air filter. Similar videos for your specific car can also be found on Youtube if you're still nervous about trying this. Remember to check this every 15,000-20,000 miles. You can thank me later for the savings at the mechanic as well as the pump.<br />

When you can say you've been associated with Penske, McLaren, Donohue, Porsche, Audi, and Ferrari you're kind of a big deal. While Sunoco isn't much of a team sponsor these days, choosing instead to put their backing into being the title fuel sponsor of NASCAR, they still were one of the iconic liveries of the 70's. In fact, they were so closely linked with the Camaro Trans-Am program that when the Camaro was relaunched, they were a part of the first Grand-Am Continental Tire Series GS effort (along with the matching #6 as well). Enjoy! </div>

Y2K failed to do anything to the infrastructure, the economy was booming, and the <i>Fast and the Furious </i>franchise wasn't a franchise. People were living their lives a quarter mile at a time, had jobs, were buying all sorts of extravagance, and 401Ks seemed secure. Everyone was happy. That is, everyone except the car enthusiast.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>America was a land devoid of exciting, affordable, performance cars. The popular offerings of that time were just that, too popular. There was nothing new, fanciful, special or shout worthy about a Civic, Prelude, Integra, RSX, Sentra, Tiburon, or Golf. While the barely 200 horsepower front wheel drive compacts remained, the Japanese muscle of yesteryear had long since been pulled from American shores. New age icons like the Supra, RX-7, 300ZX, and 3000GT had all succumbed to the almighty dollar. Their made in America competition were but a shadow of their former self. The f-body twins were looking at a prolonged hiatus and the Mustang soldiered on delivering 260 horsepower to a 20 year old chassis. The American public all agreed that $40,000 should be spent on a Corvette with 350 horsepower and a history not a Japanese import.<br />
<br />
In a culture that puts an emphasis on cold, calculated numbers, the then new Honda S2000 sold in a niche category due to having "only" 240hp and costing around $30,000. Just for comparison, 33,600 Corvettes were produced in the year 2000 while 15,100 S2000 were built with only 6,797 for American consumption. As impeccable as the S2000 was as a performance car, it still couldn't outrun the much more expensive C5 Corvette in terms of the all important performance per dollar quotient. Yet a funny looking four door sedan was about to start a performance revolution that the Honda powerhouse could never have imagined.<br />
<br />
Enter the Subaru WRX. Hold on, rewind that.<br />
<br />
Enter the Subaru WRX sideways. Drifting through mud. Perfectly controlled. With five people inside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://image.modified.com/f/18385750+w750+st0/0208_sccp_01_z+2002_cherokee_trails_pro_rally+subaru_wrx_front_view.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://image.modified.com/f/18385750+w750+st0/0208_sccp_01_z+2002_cherokee_trails_pro_rally+subaru_wrx_front_view.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
At the time, conventional wisdom gave two formulas for making a performance car. For the budget minded camp, cars were either a coupe or hatchback with a four-cylinder motor powering the front wheels. The exceptions to this rule were the Integra sedan as well as the VW Golf and its turbo four or narrow angle V6. Regardless, they all had about 200 horsepower or less and could do no better than low 6 seconds to 60 mph. The high performance Sunday drivers who could afford a play car and throw some money around played with a different rulebook altogether. It pretty much said rear wheel drive and go nuts. The WRX took the conventional wisdom, tore it up, spread its carcass all over the Hundred Acre Woods, and was back in time for lunch with an impressive lap time and a pot of Pooh bear's honey to boot.<br />
<br />
The WRX was a paradigm shift in the way people thought about a performance car in America. A quick look at the spec sheet seemed like the ingredients list for a rocket powered, off roading, economy car. AND IT WAS! Of note from that spec sheet is the 227 horsepower 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged boxer and its requisite awd drivetrain. Put that low center of gravity, high power density, and all weather grip package into any car and it would put up a fight in any weather on any surface. Put it in a goofy, bug eyed, four door, 3100lb sedan with a Subaru badge and it will humiliate other drivers while kicking them in the testicles, slapping their momma across the face after open mouth kissing her, and not getting a second look by the boys in blue.<br />
<br />
While the WRX has occasionally lost its way with mushy suspension and unappealing styling over the decade that it's been in the U.S., nobody can discredit its accolades. It brought about a new way of thinking about cheap speed. Once predominantly the realm of Hondas, the WRX showed the tuner scene that coffee can exhausts and two inches of ground clearance weren't needed to go fast. It showed that sub-6 second thrill rides to 60 miles per hour didn't need to cost upwards of $30,000. Best of all, Subaru showed other manufacturers that there is a need for this kind of performance at the $25,000 price point. Interior styling be damned! Without the WRX, we wouldn't have the STI, Mitsubishi Evo, Volkswagen R32, Dodge SRT-4, turbocharged Cobalt SS, or Mazdaspeed3. Looking outside its direct competitors and at the performance versus price quotient, it could be argued that the Nissan 350Z and Mazda RX-8 should credit the WRX, as well as the S2000, for their inception.<br />

Over the course of their lives, many cars lose the characteristics that have made them cult classics. The Subaru WRX isn't one of those cars. Over the past decade it has maintained not only its modest price but also its blistering performance, all wrapped in an "only a mother could love" amalgamation of sheet metal. It's won rally championships at home and abroad while winning over enthusiasts from all walks of life. The WRX is the perfect four seasons performance car for those not willing to dip into their 401K.Danny Chinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09915805744233369119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648364162258246551.post-52854736708965292952012-04-14T00:05:00.000-04:002012-05-02T22:25:24.537-04:00The Real Lotus Story<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The recent Lotus soap opera has been pretty incredible. In a matter of less than half a year, parent company Proton sold its majority stake to DRB-Hicom, endangering the commitments and resources once promised to back Group Lotus' five-year plan to produce the five cars it unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, including the revival of the legendary Esprit.<br />
<br />
Then, Group Lotus announced the termination of its title sponsorship of the Lotus-Renault F1 team, causing some serious rumors to surface. The word around the office is that Lotus will be going into administration, and Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is being placed on leave.<br />
<br />
Yet despite the end of title sponsorship and mounting financial issues within the brand itself, more news revealed that Proton still holds a call option to purchase 10 percent of the Lotus F1 team from current team owner, Genii Capital.<br />
<br />
In short, all the madness we're seeing unfold is starting to look like the tragic downfall of not just a storied British sports car marque, but threatens the equilibrium of the F1 race team as well. A failed attempt from Lotus to down play the media frenzy has only left car buffs and racing enthusiasts even more hopelessly confused.<br />

However, there is still one great thing that I can take out of all this - it has caused myself to think about Colin Chapman and Lotus' past glory more than ever before.
I've been searching on youtube for something that I could really sink my teeth into and this is far more than I ever expected I would find. It's a bit long, but if you have the time, why not?<br />

As you all may already know, reports announced that Lotus is no longer the title sponsor for the F1 Team Lotus. In fact, the team is actually under the ownership of Luxembourg financial advisory firm Genii Capital, the Formula 1 engines are sourced from Renault, and team operations are carried over from the old Renault F1 team as well.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Well this is awkward. The Lotus automaker has absolutely nothing to do with the Lotus F1 racing team yet here we are, hosting a Lotus-themed GT5 event in synchrony to the Chinese GP weekend. Oh well, we're rolling with it!<br />
<br />
The featured car will be the Lotus Elise 111R '04 [Race Mod]. As a reference, the Elise was a special prize package from our last invitational, tuned to 549 PP (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">261-hp, 720-kg)</span>. For the upcoming race, PP will be capped at 575.<br />
<br />
We aren't going to make an official roster of tracks (let's not take this too seriously) but expect to see the likes of Suzuka, Laguna Seca, and Grand Valley. From experiences we had from our last event, wide and flowy race tracks gave players more confidence to battle more aggressively without causing the pack to spread too far. That said, try not to take out half the grid on the first corner (but that'll likely happen regardless).
<br />
<br />
As a reminder, the invitational will be held on the evening of April 14th, 10:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Looking for our lobby will be straightforward: FLAPPYPADDLEHEADS.<br />
<br />
So yes, we've got the date and time, the car and PP, and the race tracks taken care of. Now, let's talk prizes:

I can already picture some of you struggling to make a connection with the NSX race car and the Red Bull Racing team. Don't think too much of it - at least I didn't offer an Infiniti road car and contrive its racing ties with Red Bull. Just know that the NSX is a bad ass car!

Chrysler's unveiling of the new 2013 SRT Viper left jaws dropped at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday. Pictures of that can be seen <a href="http://flappypaddle-heads.blogspot.com/2012/04/nyias-2012-coverage-day-1.html">here</a>. Halfway across the world in Qatar, MotoGP started its season with a tooth and nail fight amongst Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, and Casey Stoner that lasted to the checkers. Right here in Boston, the Lars Anderson Auto Museum kicked off the Cars and Coffee season with great showing of exotica. Kick back and click the pics!<br />

That's how much it would cost to buy a set of supremely sexy forged BBS wheels from Tire Rack. The keyword here is "forged." Can you justify $3200 worth of wheels? No? Well, neither can I and that's a problem when I have two bent wheels. Ya, thank you very much craptacular snow belt roads and your equally dismal pothole laced streets! What's the solution to getting my car rolling again? Follow the jump.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>The solution to not being able to afford crazy expensive wheels is to buy the cheapest possible! Lost? Why buy expensive cast wheels when they'll just bend anyways? Time to buy cheap, lightweight cast wheels or, better yet, used wheels off of other performance cars. Before you go running out to buy 911 wheels for your Civic, here's a few things I've learned while searching for some used BMW BBS wheels.<br />
<br />
<u>Bolt Pattern</u><br />
Wheels need bolts in order to attach to a car. Make sure the wheels you want have the same as your car! For instance, my MS3 has a 5-114.3 bolt pattern which means it uses five bolts arranged in a circle with a diameter of 114.3mm. This means those BMW wheels won't fit because they use a 5-120 bolt pattern. Womp Womp. Time to keep looking.<br />
<br />
<u>Hub Bore</u><br />
I can't stress this specification enough!!! Check and double check the diameter of the hub of both your car and the wheels you are interested in. There's nothing more frustrating than finding those perfect wheels to set your car apart only to find the bore is all wrong. This happened to me with some sweet Infiniti G35 wheels that measured 18x7.5 with a 45mm offset and a 5-114 bolt pattern. Things were looking up until the Infiniti's hub bore of 66.1mm came to light. This is a single millimeter shy of Mazda's absurdly large 67.1 mm hub bore. The wheels would never fit! However, if the situation were reversed, Infiniti owners could use Mazda wheels with the addition of hub centering rings. Bastards!<br />
<br />
<u>Offset</u><br />
Offset is another term I knew but didn't understand until earlier this week. It's the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the mounting surface with positive numbers pushing the mounting surface closer to the outer face of the wheel. It's an important number because you can destroy your fender or suspension with the wrong offset. Conversely, the right offset can give you car a wicked stance.<br />
<br />
<u>Those other numbers</u><br />
For those who need me to say it, 18x7.5 refers to the diameter of the wheel and the width in inches, respectively. Don't ask me why everything is in millimeters and that's in inches. I didn't make the rules. Additionally, weight plays a huge factor in how your car performs. Weight affects how a suspension reacts as well as how easy it is to accelerate a wheel in any direction.<br />
<br />
Remember all these things when buying wheels! If you can't be bothered, order everything from tirerack.com and they'll sort it out for you.<br />
<br />
As for myself, I'm thinking a set of Ford GT front wheels would look fantastic but Danny Choy talked me out of it. Enkei Imolas should work fine.<br />
