The first year of Quadrifoglio production was 2016. This was not even close to “one of the first produced for NA”.

Yes, my favorite was the Chinese woman who was the 400IM winner in the 2012 games. Her final 50 freestyle was faster than everyone in the men’s field, even Ryan Lochte, who won the gold medal (and set the 2nd fastest time ever in the event).

It’s a large advantage (0.5 sec or more) on short axis strokes (butterfly and breaststroke). This is because if you turn to the left, as most swimmers do, a non-simulatneous turn allows you touch the wall with your left hand and immediately pull it behind your body, preparing you for the push off. Then, you’d only…

All of that is true. Plus the fact that out of warranty, hot V engines (especially the Audi 4.0TT) have had serious issues because of the heat generated by the turbos.

Utilize a ‘Hot V’ and they would easily fit. 

They do not have to be level, just simultaneously touch.

Yep, 28 from Franklin until it hits 74 and from 74 until the start of the Dragon is excellent. Some great little known roads branch off 28 as well.

Just go on Google Maps and looked for paved roads with lots of corners. There are dozens. Robbinsville area is good, as is anywhere in/around Pisgah National Forest.

Yep. Most people know the Cherohala Skyway and Tail of the Dragon, but those aren’t even the best roads in the Robbinsville area. Easily 2 days worth of great roads within 60-90 minutes of Robbinsville, and those roads still aren’t the best in the state.

Dunno about unlimited N GA driving roads. There are ~6 that are actually good (Ft Mountain, Wolf Pen Gap, Blood Mountain, Richard B Russell, GA-60 from Dahlonega to Blue Ridge, GA-29). But it’s not a bad place.

Of course there is. Rich Energy is likely a shell corporation for Russian or drug money laundering. This has been speculated on for months.

Definitely. I think most people do a lot more mileage commuting and a lot less mileage on fun drives.

I would hope that they’d laugh. It’s what I do when I look at it (and drive it).

I think a better comparison would be % of mileage (and maybe that’s what you meant). My commute is 7 miles roundtrip, plus about 3 miles roundtrip to the gym a few nights a week. Throw in a little bit of errand running on the weekends and in an average week, I put about 60 miles on the car.

Huh, I was under the impression that one was available. So 1 car has a manual.

Uhh, I don’t think either of those cars would outperform the Type R around a track. Straight line, yes.

Haha, maybe so. It’s a great car though. The exterior (and interior) maybe aren’t for everyone, but it’s certainly top of its class when it comes to driving. Added bonus of not being able to see much of the outside while you’re doing the thing it excels at.

Only 2 of those have a manual (Mustang and Stinger), and most of those cars aren’t really performance cars. Other than the Mustang, the Civic Type R is significantly faster on a track than every other car on the list. And you need to get a performance pack car to be much quicker than a Type R, which is $$$.

Golf R is still a bit more. Granted, it comes with more/better features than the Type R, but probably depreciates a bit faster and is a bit slower.

Surprisingly, I haven’t gotten very much attention in mine at all. It’s daily driven and I’ve only had one person even give me a thumbs up (guy in a Focus RS), much less try to race me. I’ve only had it two weeks, but still - I thought it was going to be much worse. Most people just don’t care.
