A Nürburgring crash left this 911 GT3 RS in bad shape but after just 24 hours of labor it was looking as good as new. The owner of this 911 GT3 RS was chasing a sub-7-minute Nürburgring lap time when he had a bit of a moment. That moment was a 70-mph impact with a tire wall.

Of course the FL5 Civic Type R is a great car right out of the box, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. The FL5 Civic Type R has a 2.0L turbocharged jewel of an engine making 315 horsepower. It is connected to the sweetest six-speed manual transmission you could ever hope to operate. The trick dual-axis strut front suspension makes torque steer a thing of the past.
