That makes me sad. I sold my K20A swapped Integra Type R this year. Never got around to finishing her.

I am sure to get flames from saying this but I HATE Miata's and Prius. Maybe not Miata's but more Miata drivers, I know there are some good ones out there.

I didn't watch the entire video since I read the article on Road and Track. However, with no numbers to justify this price is totally absurd for a Mustang.

I think its time to part ways with my 1st gen IS300.
I started looking into the ISF. Anyone here own one of these?
I know they are pretty rare

70k for all carbon fiber doesn't seem like the worse deal and taking the time to make all of the weave go in one direction makes it seem like there's some serious thought to it

It's not bad but I would think carbon fiber costs have dropped a lot more than that by now. Also they need to list some performance specs with the entire carbon fiber body.

As far as I know ( which admittedly may not be saying much ) CF is still pretty hard to make.And I agree. As far as the car and performance is concerned I'd wonder how well it's able to put all of the power down being so much lighter with no additional downforce over the standard 350R

I'm sure it is hard to make however I figured by this time we would have streamlined and brought down the cost. Meh maybe it is at a break even point cost versus effort.

Here are my cars, bought the Tundra brand new but after putting 66K miles on it in two years I needed another car to ease the miles on her. I bought a 97 Lexus SC400 and drive her daily, has about 228K miles and still runs strong. Once she gets a little longer in the tooth and hits 24 I will change the engine and put a 2JZ Supra engine in it.
Then my fun car is a 1973 Datsun 240z that is currently in the bodyshop getting a total overhaul as you can see the body was a mess. The RB25 engine is being worked on down in Florida and hopefully will be done soon. The attached picture is at the guys house I bought it from and all the stuff that came with it.

Test drove one and wasn't super impressed, was not a night and day difference besides power compared it my IS350.
They are rare though and the interior isn't dated for their age, exhaust note is very nice as well.

Interior of the IS350 isn't dated? I am surprised how forward thinking Lexus was in general, way ahead of their competition in technology back in the day.

Buy a car where the auto manufacturer doesn't inflate numbers to sell units
My GTI is "rates at 210/258" but consistently makes 235/270 across all users

My Si is advertised as 205 hp and 192 lbs and apparently it makes that to the wheels not to the crank so that was a plus. Loving the car so farBuy a car where the auto manufacturer doesn't inflate numbers to sell units
