You and Ike are on the ban wagon of AWD Rally Cars with Turbos.

Yep, they added AWD to the Impreza for the STi and WRX If you had any clue what you were talking about you'd know you just can't throw AWD and a Turbo in something and call it a day. It's just not that simple and cars like the Evo and STi have gone through many years of improvements and each year they get better. Also you'd know that turboing the Impreza RS usually ends poorly because it's not built with boost in mind, just like every other N/A car on the road.
But I've explained this to you multiple times and it just doesn't seem to sink in.

I didn't know I was writing a paper for my Professor. Like I said before stay sleeping on the couch in your parents house while searching the boards................. You want to try in correct my irrelevant errors then we can do that. Obviously I can see where you are in your life.( Sleeping on the Couch) I on the other hand, am only 23 and have my own business along with Graduating Next Month from the University of Maryland with a Degree in Computer Science and Internet Technology.

Next time I have to turn in a paper Professor Ike, let me know

We can say that every car from every manufacture has similar characteristics. The cars I showed above or more alike by far......................

This is not true, Mazda could easily make the 8 turbo but that wasn't their intentions with the 8. Look at the first miata's, they were like 17 second cars but if you ever drive one you would still see the fun factor.

It's actually shocking to me that you are graduating from university. I honestly thought you were 16. As well, any retard can own a business, hell, I own a business. It's not hard, nor impressive.

I wasn't saying mazda should have brought the 8 out in turbo form. They could have designed turbos, solved all the problems and sold the rights to different companies. They could have offered mazdaspeed turbos which don't void the warranty. There would have been plenty of ways for them to cash in on the major complaint of their car. And, quite frankly, seeing as how they could have done all this in a single day, they would be fools not too.

Perhaps it's the same thing that lets them believe capitalization is not needed? (Sorry, I just HAD to !)

Owning one and keeping one are two different things...................... U two can jump on me all you want. Thought I was 16? Ha now that's funny. I voice my opinions and thats the kind of treatment I get? You can try to cut me down as much as you want. People like you, have to be yourself for the rest of your life................................... That's punishment enough.

Not trying to say anything like that but I'm sorry if I don't use proper grammar all the time. U do? Even when talking to your friends? A lot of people on here right fast and aren't looking at their grammar mistakes. Sorry if I'm not perfect ...................

Yeah I try to keep my grammar proper. Even when talking to friends. Oh and I'm not slow at typing, trust me.

I've noticed that a lot of people's language in the US has deteriorated to the point that Jay Leno still has enough people to come by that don't know ****, let alone being capable of writing or speaking properly (the JayWalking bit). Proper language isn't essential (especially to this thread) but I still think it matters.

Besides, I just realized you wrote "people here right fast". It's "write", not "right". So it's not about writing fast, it's to the point where you can't spell it right. Pun intended.

The way I see it, the 8 doesn't need a turbo at all. Sure a turbo would be nice for a drag enthusiest but on an autox track it is very capable. I would even say it has more potential then the previous 7. Remember, the rotary is very capable and reliable in the tuners eyes. Unfortunatly all the fd's blowing up from bad tuning made the general public think less of the rotary. The 8 was made to bring back the confidence of the general public that they lost in the 90's.

I have other things going on besides trying to reply back. If you think I don't know the difference between right and write then your truly misguided. Maybe you should become a English Teacher or even more a perfectionist?

opps I messed up again...........

Okay. So you don't see a need. I do, so do many others. I don't want to drag race either, and I don't really like autocross. Give me a track and more horsepower and this car would be perfect.

I don't really understand how confidence from the general public fits in with aftermarket turbos though, they're inevitable.
