The hood has to be taller to meet the idiot pedestrian impact requirements that require the hood to be a trampoline. The reason the z06 had such heating problems was because this requirement forced them to use a smaller blower to clear the stock hood.
I think it’s a case where they also have to keep the vehicles from being pushed around. If people get notion that an autonomous vehicle is programmed so it has to move for you, the majority of people will figuratively drive right through them.
Every time I look at a used car, I have the owner drive it first, so I can see how they drive. Pedal stompers get their vehicle miles get multiplied by 5 in my book
From here in the cheap seats, it does look like 99% of race teams seem to operate as little ponzi schemes, and only the really lucky drivers are able successfully jump from pyramid to pyramid before they inevitably collapse.
This is even cooler than the feature car.
On 3rd party sites, I always flag those ads a fraudulent.
These cars never see the road, and rarely even leave the factory. You buy it, and Ferrari stores, maintains, and transports it for you between events. They have several warehouses full of these customer owned cars, in various condition. Some look mint, and others look like they get flogged hard regularly.
WTF, that slim “gearshifter”?
Fuck that. If mine is the 1 in 10 million that catches fire, I want to be nowhere near the ignition source.
I hooned consignments at Bill’s Wheel House, just up the road.
I’m nearly certain I’ve never owned a car with this. Is this one of those things that only come on stupid new hybrid cars, with baby on board signs? I tend to prefer German sports sedans.
Our at least have them buy you a drink.
Conversely, if you don’t want to worry about having to look at a pile of questionable vehicles in your neighbor’s front yard, definitely buy in an HOA.
