wtf compression ratio has nothing to do with willingness to rev

more a function of the crank/rod/stroke geometry of which the bore:stroke ratio tangentially plays into

Much of what he said is meaningless fluff. Not to mention it apparently took him 7 years to discover the car exists.

I expected nothing more, but I had the energy to criticize a totally erroneous statement. Maybe it won't spread as far as say people talking about the 'threads' on their tires.

The real question: is the 86 a compact car with a sporty body, or a sports car with an economical drivetrain? Sort of like a vegetarian shark.

strangely written, "I almost went with the Subaru BRZ version, but Subaru already knows that people love fun cars and I think the guys at Toyota need to re-learn this from consumers." huh, wha?, almost sounds like he thinks subie and toyota have different versions, he could only be bothered to use stock photos from toyota can't even take one picture himself of his supposed tester...

No, he's saying that Subaru has other fun cars in their lineup and doesn't need to see BRZ sales to understand that. Toyota, on the other hand, builds cars for the masses and needs to see sales to show them that we also need cars for the rest of us.

At least, that's how I interpret it.

Or he vomits enough semi-interesting words onto the post and he might make $20 from ad revenue today.
