I’ve driven my aunt’s automatic C7 GS, and it kinda sucks. Extremely slow to shift, never shifts at an appropriate time in auto mode, huge pauses between pulling the paddle and it actually changing gear, and lots of “shift request denied” while downshifting on the track.

DCT’s feel is all about how they program it. The ZF 7spd DCT feels a little differently in many cars that carry it. They can make it tame and feel like an automatic or they can let it shift hard and violently. Problem is the control software is the tricky part and the only one to have it completely mastered is Porsche.

This right here. The 0-100-0 stat is part of Shelby history. To not understand that when talking about the new GT500 and why Ford used it is to show a lack of that history.  

So, how many days did you manage to drive it before it got jacked?

Where there’s a wheel, there’s a way...

I’m currently shaking down a Veloster N and will review it soon. All I’ll say so far is that you should absolutely test drive one before buying anything else at that price.

Is it wise to buy any GT86/BRZ in 2019? I am in that vague “starting to car shop” phase, and I like the idea of these card; but the new ones are probably going to be announced sooner than later right?

As someone who has used the monorail there a few times, it sucks. The problem is getting to and from the monorail in any of the hotels is a massive ordeal. You need to walk what feels like miles through a fucking labyrinth to get TO the Monorail, then buy a ticket, then go up a shit ton of stairs and across a bridge…

True, but we don’t get MT vans in ‘Murica. That leaves either the Toyota Tacoma or way old Nissan Frontier.  The Taco was my choice and is my first truck.  It has been used well and very enjoyable.

1) Lotus has the best steering feedback. The Corvette has the worst.

Insurance companies here in the U.S., however, say they don’t have “sufficient data” to “validate auto industry promises of safety benefits from automated driving systems.”

The rear fenders are wider than the front, so they’re susceptible to stone chips. This is to help save it from that damage, and the color is also an homage to older 911s:

Lewis is always outstanding, but it’s easier to be consistent when you spend 75% of your races at the front of the field because your car is far and away the best on the field.

Can confirm turbos and Coyote do not mix, can’t look stock, will never fit, or...

Haha! Yes, adding a 100 horsepower motor to a 755 horsepower motor will result in an 855 horsepower engine. Whether you add the 100 hp by connecting an electric motor to the supercharger or by adding a 100hp electric motor directly to the crankshaft.

there’s an older muscle crowd that hears the whine of a supercharger as the main calling card of big speed. Think of a massive blower sticking through a hood.

“It makes 755 HP from the LT5 engine, whose supercharger consumes about 100 HP at full boost. “So,” Lee said, “our engine is really making 855 HP at the crank, since 100 HP is used to drive the supercharger.”

YAY! This is why the Empire existed.

On second thoughts, maybe even mid-hinged gullwings won’t work on little British roadsters:

While I think this is one of Torch’s dumbest ideas ever, even the regular Spitfire hardtop is easier to get in and out of than the soft top when it is up. The soft top mechnism is a good 3" lower than the top of the side windows when the top is up - I can’t get in and out of mine with the top up anymore. It is a…
