You do know that the original R32 GT-R’s MSRP in 1989 was roughly around $45,000 US, correct? That was an ASTRONOMICAL amount of money in 1989 for a car. For circa context a base model Porsche 911 Carrera and a Chevrolet Corvette were between $31,000-$32,000 USD.

I’ve been fortunate enough to ride the Japanese shinkansen a handful of times and it’s extraordinary how well Japan figured out high speed rail, particularly as so many sections of the shinkansen go right through large populated areas. The Tokaido line from Tokyo to Kyoto and vise versa, which is one of the oldest…

It’s not that the early design was a “disaster” per say. The NES black boxes were meant to alleviate consumers of the issues in North America caused by the 1983 video game crash and the video game “dark age” until the NES’s release in 1985. I still have most of the boxes and manuals for my Atari 2600 games. They’re…

I would respectively disagree with this.

Here’s what I remember about this entire situation.

I must be in the exceptional casual crowd as I couldn’t fathom paying this much for a wheel and pedal setup. Fanatic’s entry level setups seems like big money to me.

I know there’s a lot of excitement, but could you update what platforms the remasters will be coming out on? I know we always assume the Big Four in this day and age, but I had to watch the release video, skip to the end to see the platforms, then properly rewatch it when you probably should have put PS4, XBox One,…

My thing with this car is that 3000 GT VR4 Spyders are some of the most well-documented cars in the enthusiast hobby. I dare say they’re better documented than contemporary Corvettes.

It’s a daily driver according to the owner’s comments on BAT. He also has a previous generation 05 Ford GT with over 140,000 miles on it.

It’s not just America but a lot of the first world also

The “problem” with the N64 sale stats is that you will ultimately compare everything from that time period with Playstation, which sold both an absurd amount of consoles and games (something like ~1,700 official PS1 games eventually released). No console arguably outside of GameBoy had the sales numbers that the PS1…

To be fair, COTA currently is very similar to the situation Watkins Glen once had. I’ve been to the race at COTA a handful of times now along with having attended the ‘19 Indycar race and watched WEC there, and if you’ve never been out there, around the track there is absolutely nothing. It’s a literal wasteland of…

You know this is one of the more frustrating things with modern sports games, and particularly trying to appeal to a player set that possibly doesn’t play modern sports games. If you want to play a racing game, you can play Gran Turismo or Forza or the latest F1 game or anything similar. However there are also a…

I’ve long held that the main reason this version of Sailor Moon was created was ultimately to sell toys. That’s the broad end game you have to put into your mindset watching this pilot.

I frequently tell my wife that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite films of that time period and she doesn’t get it. Part of why I like it so much aside from any nostalgia is absolutely you have to consider that Bob Hoskins is in most of the film acting by himself. Effectively if you can imagine every scene…

Not been to Memphis before, have you? All sorts of debauchery goes on there, and there are socio-economically challenged parts of the city that people simply avoid. It used to be the street racing capitol of our entire region, and probably lead to the creation of the Street Outlaws program. I know guys that would…

He uses both numbers. The team is a pay driver outfit rotating out of a pool of drivers, so each rotate out of the 44 and 45. Earlier this year ran the 45, recently ran the 44 including at Road America, and is slated to run the 45 again later in the year.

Products that fit the enthusiast niche’ & culture are dwindling more & more with each passing day as CUVs/SUVs and trucks mostly take over. As a company you can’t push products with these type marketing campaigns and then re-neg on them to your customers. At the basic core it’s literally false advertisement. “Here, we…

Chrysler had tested a Viper-chassis with a Hemi V8; the somewhat forgotten Chrysler Firepower concept. The Firepower was a proof of concept to use existing Chrysler parts repackaged that was heavily lauded as potentially making production. Had it done so being that it was a slightly more luxurious trim Viper with an…

A 1.75 billion PC gamer number is a bit of a misnomer compared to any console market figures. Consoles nowadays can only legitimately consider online connectivity as “active” (Keep in mind you can’t just count PS5 figures; you have to count PS4 and PS3 as well, both of which are still active online). Whereas with PC…
