4 Best Sports Cars for the Money (Pt.2)




2017 McLaren 570GT: $ 198,950
Two hundred thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money, even for a sports car, but one drive in the McLaren 570GT will have you raiding your retirement fund for the opportunity to live with this amazing vehicle. Unlike many supercars, the 570GT is actually civilized and easy to drive and live with, with standard air conditioning, navigation, audio and phone connectivity running through a centrally-mounted touchscreen. There are even 13 cubic feet of storage space onboard, between the front trunk and behind the seats, for those Costco runs.

2016 Porsche Boxster: $ 52,100
As the least expensive point of entry into the Porsche universe, the Boxster is sometimes dismissed as a toy Porsche. But that's a mistake. The Boxster is an exciting mid-engine roadster with brilliant handling, swift performance and all-day comfort. Without the extra weight, complexity and six-figure price tag of the 911, the Boxster is a flickable, lively companion that will have you looking for a twisty way home. Toss in another $ 14,300 for a Boxster S ($ 68,400), and you can shave a half-second off of your 0-60 scoot.

2016 Scion FR-S: $ 25,305 / 2016 Subaru BRZ: $ 25,395
Co-developed by Toyota and Subaru, the FR-S and BRZ are mechanical doubles with minor cosmetic differences. The front-engine / rear-wheel drive two-seater borrows from the Miata formula, with modest power in a beautifully balanced chassis. Handling is this sporty car's strength, and it comes standard with a silky-smooth, 6-speed manual transmission. A raft of go-fast, bolt-on accessories will keep you and your budget engaged. FR-S will survive the demise of Scion to be reborn as the Toyota 86 for 2017, which means there will still be two excellent versions of this sports car available.

2016 Volkswagen Golf R: $ 35,650
Volkswagen has birthed the hot hatch with the 1976 GTI, and there's a very good GTI in the lineup for 2016. But there's a great Golf R in the same lineup, a sports car that outdoes the GTI's front-wheel drive, turbocharged 210-horsepower 4 -cylinder engine with 292-hp turbo, 4MOTION all-wheel drive, and 6-speed DSG automatic transmission. Volkswagen entices drivers to "unleash the monster inside," and the Golf R responds with rip-snorting performance and fly-paper grip. Premium features ensure that this is no econobox. The Golf R is a true sports car.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i...

Mods To Do On Golf 4 1.8T

The order of these mods is recommended, although everyone decides to go down their own path. 1. Maintenance before modding - This includes changing fluids, spark plugs, filters, timing belt, Making sure your brakes work etc ... Some cars may need more maintenance than others, but It's never a good idea to start a modding a car that has not been properly maintained. 2. Catch Can -   A catch can be a great preventative mod that will reduce the amount of carbon build up in your engine. Our PCV systems are a known problem, and carbon buildup becomes a big one issue that reduces power in our cars. Although a catch can not completely fix the issue, it will definitely help. Pairing one with the occasional sea-foaming will help keep your valves clean and carbon free. 3. Downpipe (DP) - The reasons I put these two categories together is because they are go hand in hand. I will explain each one individually later on. The stock DP on the mkiv 1.8t is very restrict...

What is "anti lag" and how does it work

HOW THE TURBO ANTI-LAG SYSTEM WORKS Bang-bang (also known as ALS which stands for Anti-Lag System) is an engine management technique that allows to minimize the turbo lag time. As you may be aware of, turbochargers display what is known as lag time, which is the time needed for the turbine to reach its full throttle from the intermediate rotational speed state. The duration of a turbocharger's lag depends on many factors, including its inertia, airflow efficiency, back pressure, etc. The issue is partly dealt with by fitting a turbo dump valve, which acts every time the driver lifts his foot from the throttle. The dump valve will evacuate the pressure air coming from the turbocharger while the inlet manifold is closed so that the turbine does not stall and avoid possible damage to its bearings. In racing cars it is very common to fit the oversized turbochargers in order to be able to produce enough boost pressure and ensure sufficient engine output. Big turbochargers exhibit sig...
