Firstly, I may just be crazy, but I've been around the car scene for a very long time. I live in a very congested place with a very large and established car scene.

Before COVID, I used to see Veloster N's everywhere. I mean, everywhere. They were popular due to the price point ($24-30K USD) making it one of the absolute best price to performance cars of our generation. Then COVID happened and a very interesting event unfolded:

Used Car "buyouts" from places like Carvana were offering INSANE buyouts on Veloster N's paying people $32-35K USD for cars that were purchased off the lot for nearly $10,000 less. And I knew many people who took advantage of this goldmine opportunity, I even watched people go buy off the lot VeloN's and immediately flip them to Carvana for a payout. (Or equivalent locations buying Used cars)

But now, something is very bizarre - this model of car that sold 10's of thousands of units in the States in my area has all but...vanished. You see them no where, I literally went to a very large car show this weekend and not a single N car was there.

It's like they've evaporated from existence. I've seen a handful of Elantra N's now (close to 10-20 on the regular in the area) but Veloster N's have just...vanished.

Now if the car was 20 years old, sure I get it, they get into accidents and totaled out with time. But this car debuted in 2019 and ended production in 2023 - just 2 years ago.

Where did Carvana send all these cars? Who has them? No ones driving them, no ones selling them - Carmax in the states shows "3" just "3" NATIONWIDE. Autotrader only shows 42 of the 4,000+ that were sold NATIONWIDE. I find this fascinating; because I know a truckload of these things were traded in during the pandemic for the cash payout.

It's like they've just been erased. Is anyone else noticing this? Did Carvana just ship these all overseas? Is Dubai loaded up on LHD Velo N's?

Pick one you dig from the list this week. What's it worth?

Took more than half a year but dude's back with another excellent walkthrough of adding a supercharger to his S197.

There are lot of super fast performance cars that technically are 2+2 seaters such as the Porsche 911 and the Nissan GTR but most of these cars' back seats are back seats in name only. I pity the person who tries to squeeze into the backseat of a 911 GT3.

What is the fastest car in the world who's back seats are usable.

I know in a drag race it'd be the Lucid Air, while in top speed it's probably the Maserati Ghibli (unless you count the McLaren Speedtail).

But what is the fastest around a racetrack?

Some kind of Mustang? The GT4C Lusso? The AMG GT?

Some of the info they contain might be a little outdated or obsolete at this point, but they're still a fun and interesting read. I myself have the small block Ford, small block Chevy, big block Chevy, and Ford 351c / 351m / 400 issues. Using their advice, I once upgraded to a 351 Windsor heads and cam on my little 302 in my 1968 Mercury Cougar. Definitely woke it up a little.

That was way back in the late 80's / early 90's. The aftermarket has vastly better stuff out now.

VIDEO --

I actually had a G80 EV as a rental car on a work trip last year. I joked with my partner that they gave me a "worse G80 than the one I have at home" but after driving it I was actually VERY impressed.

Now that was the EV and this review is the ICE car but in any case I really liked how it drove, and was really impressed with the material and build quality in the interior space. If I was in the luxury sedan market and not the performance sedan market I would drive one again and seriously consider it along with the competition.

Just a quick review from Throttle House about the 2025 RS6 Performance, a good way to start your morning with a Beautiful Performance Wagon.

Enjoy!

Been working on a FD RX7 for a while now. Originally picked it up in Japan a few years ago and drove it back to the Mazda factory as part of a road trip.

Rotary's definitely have their quirks and it takes a while to learn your way around modifying them.

Recently had it on the dyno and captured this awesome shot of it shooting flames. This isn't a sign of a healthy tune however, it actually needed quite a bit of work due to me not routing the fuel system all that well. Learned a lot and will be back to fix it soon.
