“Looks like you auctioned off your Demon. Guess your next 10 deliveries are nothing but fully optioned Darts and 200s. Best wishes!”

It just looks like an amorphous blob...

Please please more of this.

I know this is splitting hairs but the only “repair” you did was the 02 sensor. To me the rest was just differed maintenance.

I’m talking about diesel electric drive as specified in the original post. Engine, alternator, motors. If that was more efficient than a gearbox your car would have it.

Ugh, can we go back in time to whenever the first person decided these wheels looked good, and just kinda kidnap whoever that was and leave them in Havana with no money and no ID, so I don’t have to see these on every mall-crawling brodozer coming my way? I’d rather every off-road car anywhere had to wear bright white…

I don’t think it’s a Type R at all. GS-Rs are also DC2s, despite what the article claims (I have a DC2 GS-R in my garage right now), which is what I’m thinking the car in the article is.

That actually looks to be a pretty heavily molested Type R. No rear seats, different front, different roof, different valve cover, etc.

Actually - ALL AECD’s are cheat devices. The difference is that you have to point out to the EPA that you are cheating and why you are doing so (to protect the engine).

Uhhh, this is a production car. Dodge already makes a car to compete with the Cobrajet and COPO, it’s the Challenger DragPak.

So do they manage to do this without increasing rolling resistance to the cars? If the road deforms more than typical asphalt, they really wouldn’t be capturing lost energy as much as taking energy from people’s cars (which aren’t exactly thermodynamically efficient to begin with)

Jeez, I remember back when I would have wanted to upgrade my wheels to something the size of those rotors.

I REALLLLLY like the way the SRT/Trackhawk looked/looks and so I am very glad that they didn’t tart- or bro- or boy racer-up the Hellcat version. I mean, I’m the person who picks the Golf R over the Focus RS and most certainly over a Bugatti or similar hyper cars (though I would take one that was given to me for free…

Paging Mike Brewer....

If you’re comparing an M-35 or antique firefighting vehicle to the shitty paper mache Muppet float your kid worked on, you’re a fucking idiot.

So there are the people who assume minimalism is beauty. It is not. There is beauty in minimalism if it’s executed well (see: Volvo, Audi, IKEA. And I know tesla poached the main interior designer from volvo). This just sucks. It’s minimalism for the sake of minimalism, without design or beauty.

So, at the time the backend came out, he was doing 227 kph, which is 141 mph, not 160. And this really isn’t that insane of a spin; tank slapper at a quick speed, absolutely. The car didn’t even get sideways until 60 mph, and by then the gravel trap saved him. Hardly the “best save ever”.

Land Cruiser is absolutely the correct answer.

It’s consistently funny to me that the company used to be known for its CEO responding to e-mails directly but is now just a black box that refuses to respond to a specific topic it doesn’t want to respond to.
