That GUY is actually a company. And that GUY doesn't drive the car on the street, which is my point. I'm sure the guy does care about tires, because the guy needs them to use the car on the track, which is the only place the guy uses the car. If I had a car that was made for the track, like that one, I wouldn't care if I used up tires like crazy either, but it would be on the track. Somebody know japanese? Contact JUN and ask how come they don't use that car as a daily driver.

When I was talking about a daily driver, I was talking about the ESX cars, and TRP-built Subarus. I'd never drive a composite bodied track car on the street...too many soccer moms on the phone while doing their makeup on the road!

Looking at that engine bay makes me wonder about where they moved the throttle body.
Not to turn this into a "whip it out and see whose is bigger match," but Meguiars claims "800-1000 horsepower" - whatever that means.
BTW, here in the States, we have a few of these around.

Daily drive it if you want. 
Look below the intake manifolds on each bank. It has quad individual throttle bodies. That thing must have awesome throttle response!
That car is super TIGHT! All you bashers can go torque one off. Talk about jealousy! Just accept it. That car would have you jizzing if you owned it/ drove it!

Agreed. And yes, Toms Focus is impressive, for a Focus. I do love how anytime a discussion of other 4 cylinder cars is brought up, the Meguiars Focus is quickly talked about. And what's wrong with the camber on that car? I've seen plenty of imports with camber just as bad on the street .

Yeah but that WRX is supposed to have that camber! What was the argument here? AWD makes me slightly aroused. Turbos make me horny. 600+hp makes me wicked horny. All three together and I've got to call my lady back and tell her to call in sick to work tonight!

fast for a "4 banger" or fast for a "8 banger". have you ever riden in a stock wrx; only 224 hp. that will send you to the back of your seat when the turbo kicks in. dont ya think 600hp would do a bit more?
Yeah, like send you into the back seat!

If you think a stock WRX throws you in your seat, you haven't been in many cars...or maybe I'm just used to it now.

i guess i said that wrong. stock wrx is pretty damn quick, i've also been in one with $15000 in the motor, including stage 3 turbo....also been in a highly modded cobra that runs 11's. haha....i know a fast car when i ride in one...i just never own one
