Not to get off topic here but I've become increasingly concerned about AI and the damned if you do damned if you don't bind we're in. There was an informed guy on Bill Maher's show last Friday describing some of the numerous instances of AI replicating and hiding itself to avoid...

My eyes aren't so good so when I saw a gorgeous blue 5 V the other day I thought Blackwing...until I got close enough to see the AWD badge on the back....still very nice... I've actually been recommending the AWD 5 V to someone interested in an AWD vehicle that can carry at least 4. He really...

I've on occasion experienced a bit of rev hang on deceleration to a stop...but more often than not - when I check - its my fat right foot still partially pressed on the gas peddle...

MT - only choice for me. Otherwise might have been driving an RS3 instead (but glad for the caddy in most every way). I've always had MT cars and the additional driving engagement and control make driving fun for me. Wife drives MT as well so no restriction. I've only ever once purchased an...

Really good question and I've been having similar thoughts. I have the Tapout larger MAF and ported throttle body. If their claims are accurate I;m conceivably making 70-80+ hp at redline over stock. Not sure what the JB4 maps give you - more certainly.... but the larger MAF/throttle body seems...

I'm just a tad under 6 ft (possibly shrinking as I get older) but I can drive reasonably comfortably pulling my seat up enough to let a decent (not too large) passenger to sit comfortably behind me. Fine for short to medium length trips but I wouldn't want to do it for longer trips - both for my...

I agree that the very tight rear seat area is less than ideal and occasionally its an issue. We're used to small cars and less than ideal room in the back but it confounds me just how small it is even compared to our BMW 3 series and GTI. The GTI - which benefits from being FWD has the most...

Oversized. I've only had 2 CELS with it - both tied to quick re-starts after stopping in somewhat cold & damp weather. Cleared one myself and the other went away on its own pretty quickly. I have to say I'm very satisfied with the performance. A few weeks back I kept even with a Lambo Urus from...

I think we were a bit hard on Argent Wing. Seems to me he was just asking if any of us had any interest in older cars....a pretty harmless inquiry I think. Anyway - I've only owned and still own one vintage car - an un-restored 1964 1/2 289 4 brl Mustang Convertible with around 58K miles. Its...

Maybe a little over a year ago Zygrene reviewed the CT 4 V BW along with a 2017? V-8 Camaro (don't remember which one) and his new Integra-S and he wasn't entirely positive. Well he just re-reviewed a CT 4 BW - this time one with some JB4 power mods and he has corrected his review to being...

I have to say it works pretty well. So well I'm not thinking to do anything more - power wise - for a while (if ever)....though I'd love to tune it further at some point. The extra punch is undeniable when you push it....very nice to have....otherwise seamless and runs just as smooth as stock...

Yeah I did (along with ported throttle body) but with no tune or JB4 or anything and I'm very happy with it. Noticeable (significant) power up top WOT and seems to rev a bit faster. Got a few codes ear;y on (twice)....cleared and none since. Car seems quite a bit quicker. Install was...

I had this same problem with my drivers window a few months ago....happened a few times but hasn't re-occurred since....part way down wouldn't go back up...but could go down further. After a few minutes worked normally again. Interesting that others have had this exact problem.

Back in the day I used to tell friends of mine who bought a Prius..."perfectly good car for someone who might otherwise buy a Camry" ...now - for folks considering a Tesla or such I say "perfectly fine choice for someone who might otherwise be driving a Prius" Now Prius's and Teslas are fine...

Epically awesome!!!
