This. I know a nice middle class couple that won the lottery (57mil), they ended up moving out of our little town because they caught so much hate because they were “not donating enough”. Nothing they ever did was enough.  So much envy of wealthy people. 

What was measured at 20bar of pressure, exactly? Hydraulic line pressure of the brake system itself when Fenati hit the lever?

Curious how you came to the conclusion that a corvette isn’t a sports car?

Dorkle!!!! You sir have won the internet today

True, and good cars, but I guess I should have clarified I’m talking about the supercar class. Mid engine, 500+ horsepower, exotic looks, etc.  Somewhat romanticized view, yes, but a poor man’s supercar that a working stiff can afford to track (and insure) is groundbreaking IMHO.

Right so at some point I hope for a mid-engine track car.  New vette could fall into that category, possibly the first ever to do that.  Ford GT is most certainly NOT in that category, it’s basically for one percenters....

I honestly hope you’re correct, so an average guy like me can actually track a used one, unlike the Ford GTs (especially the new one) which is beyond attainable. Ford missed the boat on this latest fiasco. Give us something actual normal people can afford.

ANd it’s not even being dramatic, this wouldn’t be hard to calculate, in Montana (one of the highest rates of gun ownership), thousands of people each day are knocking on doors of the homes of the state’s 1mil residents. Nobody gets shot here for knocking on a door. So you could literally hire a full time position to…

LOL still can’t understand the point, can you

I get what they’re doing, wanting to play in the big pond with the other OEMs that truly have their own “bespoke” engines, but lying is just going to make this worse.

LOL are you always this dramatic? You could knock on doors in Montana for a millenia and never get shot. Way to keep perpetuating myths....

So what will you do when we ban the tool of choice of the current mass murderers (“assault” rifles).... and the psychopaths switch tools? When they figure out shotguns are very effective. Then society wants to ban shotguns. Then the nutjobs switch to pistols. Then we ban pistols? See where this heads?

LOL you idiot nobody in the US is hunting endangered species unless you count a few idiotic poachers that should be in jail. In fact, hunters are the reason many species have been brought back from the brink of extinction. Look up the north american conservation model, it’s the most successful model in the world.

I hate that. Found out inadvertently that you can disable all traction control and stability control by tricking the system into thinking you’re out of brake fluid. Unplug the sensor at the master cylinder and poof no nanny horseshit.

HAHA what went wrong with it?

Are you sure it’s an actually limited slip (mechanical)? If so, this is recent, my Ram definitely does not have one. It’s purely a brake-enabled system.

This is a HUGE factor, I’ve owned both a Ram and a Silverado, purchased new, the Ram came with 4 PLY TIRES (I had multiple flats and had to replace them right away, I live on a gravel road) while the Chevy had heavy duty LT tires that are twice as tough.

Of course. To be clear: Ram ECM hot mess braking fiasco < GM’s eaton locker that takes a little wheel spin to engage < a full mechanical locker that is driver-selectable

Having owned both a new chevy with a locker and now a Ram with open diffs relying on the ECM to brake the wheel that is spinning, the locker is FAR superior. Get a ram stuck in snow and experience the drivertrain sound like it’s going to blow itself apart as it clunks and bangs with alternating wheels getting their…

Aaaaaand this is the last year for manuals in the Dodge cummins. So there will be no manuals avail in the 3/4ton and up rigs from the big 3. Never thought I’d see the day....
