Are you a 20-something? I've found that the younger car guys who work for me don't like the Countach at all. They don't get it. I grew up with it on my wall, so I love it. It's definitely a generational thing. I do understand the complaint. It is not a very well put together car, and with the U.S. bumpers, it's pretty…

You mean since this year? Given that the Gallardo has been by far the best looking affordable Lamborghini out of a very small selection. Other than that, you have the Jalpa, Silhouette, and Urraco, none of which were all that good looking.

I've come to the conclusion that the Jalopnik commentariat is decidedly uncool. There is no other way to explain the fact that anything or anyone even remotely urban or cool is immediately deemed "hipster". I think the only way to appear non-hipster on Jalopnik would be to wear khaki shorts, a golf polo shirt, and…

This isn't news. Fisker making $330k is not a lot of money, given that it's his name on the door, and completely inline with what I would expect his base compensation to be, given the scenario. I am sure he would make a LOT more going back to head up a major design studio, as he has done in the past. Consider that it…

It looks good, but living in Chicago, I'm extremely tired of seeing bland colors, everything is grey and black. I think that 99.8% of all M3's and German luxury cars in general in Chicago are black or some variation of grey. I love it when I see the occasional bright blue M3.

WTF? What post did you read? I said in my first post that it wouldn't be needed on a track and that it is more applicable for hillclimbs or rallying. None of the cars in the series you listed ever need to kick the tail out, which was the whole point of this conversation.

I specifically stated that a handbrake is more useful for rotating a car on entry to a fast hairpin turn. How many hairpin turns are there in dirttrack racing?

It's not a theory. It's a fact. It's why all WRC rally cars have massive hydraulic handbrakes that also cut drive to the rear wheels. I rally raced for 3 years. Of course the dynamics are different with awd, but it works with rwd too.

The handbrake is more useful for rotating a car on entry to a fast hairpin turn, but unless you plan on hillclimbing the Corvette or rallying it, it won't ever be needed on a track. There are other ways to get it to kick out, but a handbrake makes it easier.

Pretty much 99% of Porsche buyers buy them as status symbols, but they are still great cars. Given that, I would still only buy a GT3. I would take the Corvette over a Boxster if that is the choice. It's all personal opinion, nothing more.

I'll be honest the fully independent trucks looked smoother both on the open runs and crawling over the rocks. Near the end, the fully indpendent orange truck walks away from that live axle truck over the rocks.

I am pro autonomous vehicles, so this is awesome. The transition to autonomous vehicles will be the most transformative societal shift in the next 20 years. Good luck Volvo.

You're right. If someone wants a one-off prototype, they should just buy one that's been mass-produced. What? The right buyers buy these things because they are one of a kind and the difficulty of reassembling it is part of the fun. Take a look at the Lotus Etna. It was a static concept that an enthusiast converted…

Well, they didn't look LIKE them so much as they were the EXACT same headlamp. Plus, they were ugly. I never desired a 996, any of them.

It looks like the road is raised, and the land around is marshland or flooded.

Hardcore. I was waiting for the rope to snap on that second casualty. I like how everyone backed out of the way for it. Why isn't that bulldozer clearing a path?

Couple four old turbo F1 engines together, and you'll have 16 cylinders and 5400HP. Easy

How about not taking a red eye if you need to be focused and aware the next day? Airlines should create a rule that anyone who is ill prepared for the normal flight experience and likely to bitch about it the next day, should not be allowed on red eye flights.

I agree, but there are a surprisingly large number of motorcycles that seem to change hands without titles. Title laws vary by state, and some can be surprisingly lax on the rules for titling an untitled bike. I'm not excusing the behavior, but it isn't cut and dry. Many states had no motorcycle titles until the 70's.…
