I always glance back at my s14 after I park it

[Cwrigh25]

@TacticalLeo Plenty of room for driver and passenger. I'm just over 190cm and there's ample room.. Forget about anyone in the back. If Clarkson enjoyed one with 200hp, I'll take him for a burn in one with close to 500hp :)

I would sitill buy it.

[TasteMyDBolts]

with a nice bodykit and spoiler removed these things look mean

@PhantomGett I'm with you on the KA preference. The low end torque was glorious.

[PhantomGett]

Personally like the Zenki better, but not surprised this car lost. Jeremy is a well know lover of European cars.

America got the KA because it was already emissions compliant over here. The SR in RWD trim never was, which sucks but oh well. As someone who's driven both motors, I prefer the KA, and I'm not knocking the SR just saying I understand it's cheaper to adapt an engine to a chassis rather then go through the emissions testing required over here (see the work MotoRex had to do for Skyl
