I've been amazed by price jump of old station wagons. I'm thinking it's partly my fault because I talk about turbocharging all the times. Therefore, people start to think it would be cool to add turbo to station wagons. Those old wagons gets snagged up so that they can be turbocharged all because of me. I was wondering if I retired from turbocharging, would price of those wagons go down? Then they would be more affordable to folks who have no interest whatsoever in adding turbo to their vehicle.

Is there such thing?
 
get a Subaru STi WRX wagon that's a boxer 6 with 2 turbos its almost like a Porsche!
 
Derek, if you retired from turbocharging the universe would be out of whack. :lol:
 
nah, go Rotary, hell, even better yet, get Turbocharged Rotaries!! (are they legal in your state??) if so, import a tripe rotar rotary from Japan, the Mazda Cosmos...and beef the hel up...its a real potent motor, they use it for professional drag racing...and you're talking sub 7 seconds cars here...

No if would not made any difference if you retire from turbocharged because you have nothing to do with happen to the station wagons in the first place.

It's because people don't want a blob-shaped 'crossover' which is what has destroyed the market for station wagons. I'm a station wagon fan, I owned one, it was great - handled just like a car, but with a lot more usable space in the back.
 
Screw whoever told you that Derek. I can already see you go all the way in a turbocharged wagon duster til you respectfully die in one! :P

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo S for $ 181,100.00. :slap:

I stay avoid from Euro auto because their parts were so expensive.

Subaru is BEST for off-road and I don't think Porsche or Ferrari would do that.

SUV + high speed + off-road= you are ****ed up big time. :laugh2: That's why WRC don't have SUV at all.

4x4 never good for high speed and transfer case may blew up if you going over 90 MPH. The 4x4s are best for high torque as pull/push. That's why Porsche/Subaru/Audi prefer AWD over 4x4 for high speed racing.
