    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I know blasphemous but a tuned 4 cylinder Supra new at low $40s calls to me in my sleep im a dd guy, my son lives in Philly, that’s the kind of car I could throw the keys to the parking garage guy with zero worries. Wouldn’t feel same with an Emira/c8/718

    You know what would be funny? If they launched this like the Evora, where year 2 versions had better engineering improvements, more options, and a better price. Remember how absolutely pissed the hell off the first year Evora customers were? And subsequently how nobody today gives a rip and the...

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    All good points, I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. I won’t pick a suspension until I drive a sport (drove a touring, which I loved but hated the wheel gap) but I’m def leaning sport with aftermarket lowering springs.

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    You say stiffer doesn’t equate to better but I’d argue it’s better than TOO soft. I think if we could be sure touring wasn’t too soft, we’d take it, but imo too soft on a sports car is WAY worse than too stiff too soft (from my world):

    For me it’s which dampers will work best with lowering springs, and that’s sport. Maybe.……

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    I’d shop for an air cooled 911 for sub 100k. The atom would be a fail for me cause my wife wouldn’t go to the marina with me. I guess that’s the hard core line for me lol the 20 minutes to the dock

    Can an owner past run in do me a solid? (gearing research)

    Thx boys! I’ve been calling DeMan but he won’t answer my 718 questions: can he re gear a PDK? should I buy a car with a diff? what’s it cost to re gear? I’m really considering finding a base boxster in the $45-$50k range and doing tune, turbo upgrade suspension and gearing. For whatever reason...

    Can an owner past run in do me a solid? (gearing research)

    Hello, We all know how stupid high the gearing is in the 718, will an owner who knows how to video inside the cabin run thru gears 1 to 4 (higher if you like) in your Emira showing the rpms and speed at gear change? If you could consistently change at mid 6000 rpms, that would be great. If you...

    Actual 0-60 Times?

    For me, a brz is unsatisfying slow so imo there is a too slow baseline. My Emira test drive was satisfying speed wise and I LOVED the gearing, perfectly set up to enjoy 3rd gear on the street more shifting more fun

    Emira vs Ferrari - Still not 100% on which to sell

    I suggest you post a Ferrari video exactly like your Emira video, including the shot in the same narrow street, then let us decide. Showing the Emira moving on that street really fired me up to buy one. We’re all exhausted from showroom pics. Chat away like it’s your first time in the Ferrari...

    Matt Prior drove them back to back and preferred the 718. For years the 911 has been taking a backseat to the 718. Geese drove the 718 T with hate in his heart and in 30 seconds bonded with the car. mic drop by the rick (me) honestly my biggest frustration is goose, jack, Doug, big Matt and...

    I can’t afford the 992, I’d be comparing a 2019 rear steering T. But I think the real p car comparo is vs the 718s, Porsches most dynamic car

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    its As if the only car that can equal the Emira s dynamics is a 200k used super car. I’ll argue a 718T Boxster with a JB4 will be it’s equal at $70k us certified https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/1b02dbe5-9e4f-414e-a62d-5c922c31f50e/
