I can’t imagine the Venn diagram of people who are looking at a highly reliable, N/A V8 and looking at a Tesla is very large.

4.5s is a manufacturer (conservative) estimate. The RC F with the same engine/chassis/transmission and 125lbs more weight does it in 4.1s.

F50 without question.

My car has a touchpad on the top of the iDrive control disc. I’ve never used it, only accidentally grazed my finger across it when searching through my music library (which messes up the search). Also had an Audi with it and never really used it.

That’s brutal.

Only needs to be announced in 2 party states. If you live in a single party state, you can do whatever you want WRT recording.

In this presidential election, yes.

He’s moving the seat back so there’s more room for “activities”. Thought that was always pretty obvious.

The nice thing about my M4 GTS not having centerlocks and having a stud conversion - I can change the wheels out in about 10 mins tops with an electric impact gun and a low profile race jack.

Do you buy index funds then? Because if you do, your portfolio is directly affected by the performance of multiple car companies.

Interesting. I have a modded M4 GTS that is generally quicker than stock 991.1 GT3s and probably on pace with a well-driven 991.1 GT3RS and I run standard Cup 2s. The GTS is probably 200-250 pounds heavier than the 991.1RS and I haven’t had that issue at the track.

On what car? With the Cup 2s, they need to be in the correct temperature range and the grip does not fall off.

The “no open seats left” flows both ways. Hamilton is unlikely to want to join a backmarker if he doesn’t re-sign with Merc. He also won’t want to partner with Alonso.

It is just the equipment for Mercedes. The car is comfortably fast enough to win the WDC/WCC.

“Could” argue that they have the best equipment? Hahaha. They were on pole 15/17 races and easily had the fastest car.

I would also stall if I were Mercedes and Lewis wanted a big ($50mm+) 1 year contract. They know they are going to win, and can run Russell for 5% of that fee and get the same results.

Is Mercedes willing to pay Hamilton hundreds of millions of dollars to land him for another year? Honestly, they should be.

I have several different setups too.

I have the original carbon piece replaced with a plastic one that I engineered. It definitely scrapes a lot and was killing me since the original piece is painted carbon and $$$.

Currently daily driving an M4 GTS.
