This had me going for a little bit . . .

Do people think that the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo’s 5:19.546 record is under threat?

So these are about two miles per dollar . . .

The good thing is that the Schuppans can still take stock bodywork. The Japanese street-legal Rothmans Porsche 962 is a Schuppan 962CR with Le Mans-style low drag bodywork and a Rothmans paint/decal scheme.

I think the lede was buried here. Any news on the 962 and 904 sales?

Unless all 39 prototypes, about half built to a reliable stock spec, the other half being built with cost-is-no-object budgets, have the worst mass-reliability failure of all time, that will not happen.

Just for comparison, I looked at the lap records for Cup cars at Road America and COTA. They were nowhere close to the IMSA/WEC GTs. So, the G56 car appears to be a purpose-built road racer constructed on the basic technological pattern of a Cup car, not a Cup car at Le Mans.

Although, one of the previous 911 GTEs did swap engine position from rear to mid-engine. So, while they may need to stick to elements of the bodyshell and basic engine, there is a good amount of leeway, although I believe it must be approved by FIA. Agreed that the G56 car is a highly purpose-built car (a regular…

And here’s what he went to prison in 2018 for. Assault with a semi-automatic firearm. This guy is going to be a real prize for whoever becomes his pen pal.

I started googling that, and I came up with someone in prison with the same name and age (27 in 2023, 18 in 2014) from the same area (Santa Clarita/Valencia, CA). He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 3 years probation in 2014, but this shows that he’s in since 2018 with a latest release date of 2027, so it…

You want them to create pro-level content out of the goodness of their own hearts? They gotta make money somehow. And you can click through quickly.

The problem is that it means that the Senate will be doing nothing else while they do this. So, Tuberville would either hold the promotions hostage, or every other Senate function hostage, for months.

The nominations are usually sent through in a package that is passed through unanimous consent, which does not require a vote. One objection brings them to a vote, though, which would require individual votes. I don’t know if there is a way to “package” them into a single or small group of votes. Voting for them…

My limited understanding is that this is holding up a block of hundreds of promotions. Senate can vote on each one individually, but that would be prohibitively time-consuming.

His parents are ‘vette aficionados. No joke.

(And, admittedly, the Hellacious has a subframe, although it was custom designed and built by Speedkore. I don’t think there are any stock structural parts from a ‘70 Charger on it.)

It more or less is in unibody construction. I don’t think a Pacifica has a subframe.

I mean, this is a bonkers track-day car that was built in the shape of a minivan, not a minivan conversion, right? If they’re building the body out of carbon fiber, what parts of a minivan would be left over, except for things like steering rack and maybe some suspension pieces? And I suspect even the suspension is…

Minor correction: liquid helium to cool it, not liquid hydrogen.

Based on the current entry list, that means that the following people could add their names to the list this year:
