  1. I drove a rented Pontiac Sunfire up Pikes Peak and overheated halfway up the hill. Being a little over 14k feet high was an experience I'll never forget.

     

    I live at the foothills of pikes peak. They’re putting a new visitors center at the top right now. The road to the top (or the cog railway) is really a great experience for people visiting the city so I’m glad you did it. The hike is brutal. I’ve done a few 14ers (as we call them here) but Pikes Peak was by far the longest and hardest one of them.

  2. Annnnd it’s NA... keeping the tradition of underpowered sports cars alive for MY22. The Miata, BRZ, 86, and more are all otherwise outstanding vehicles and super fun. They all just need another 50+ ponies. Well, at least that’s the case for high elevations. I’m at 6500 ft and if a vehicle doesn’t have forced induction, it takes 250-300 HP (depending on weight etc) to make a car begin to feel sporty.
  3. Announcement coming in just under 7 days:

    Presumably the 86 will likewise receive the same update. Rumors suggest the same 2.4L engine from the Ascent, but either detuned to make less power, or de-turbo’d to avoid cutting into Supra sales. I can imagine a $30-35k 255 HP RWD coupe being VERY popular, which is good for consumers, but maybe bad for companies that want to justify their $70k sports car as well.

  4. Is there an English translation available?

     

    “We did not match our ambition with the capabilities of the engine. As a result, the motor has suffered catastrophic failure and needs to be replaced. I need a Honda B-series motor, preferably a B16, but we are open to a B18 or even H-series swap as long as it has VTEC (yo). I am prepared to purchase such a motor on the morrow.”
