Is there a single person expecting this to be a 4 door Miata? That’s like saying I’m a beer-gut Tom Brady.

And don’t forget the NA V10 in the E60 M5, such a glorious sound. Too bad they completely gave all of that up and switched to farty twin-turbo V8's.

I struggle to even hear the 488 on busy tracks.

The LS7.R is such a nasty-sounding beast of an engine.

I just went to the IMSA race at Mid-Ohio a few weeks ago and I have to say the Ferrari was the most disappointing sounding car there. I could not hear it over the sound of the other cars. Not even a peep. I watched from multiple points around the track and got nothing. In isolation I’m sure it sounds great, but it…

The C7.R sounds like a growling puppy compared to the mean bark of the old GT1 Corvettes. They were thunderously loud.

I’m not even remotely a fan of Corvettes, but the C7.R makes such a spectacular noise. It’s even more impressive when you see them in person. You really do feel the noise in your chest.

My geuss is they’ll have them drive it and say like what did you think of the power? (“Omg it’s got so much power it must have a big v8”) What if I told you this truck only has a 4 cylinder engine that gets [some overhyped MPG number it’ll never hit in real world ]? (“OMG THATS AMAZING !”, “I CANT BELIEVE ITS ONLY A 4…

I’m waiting for torch to show up with his list of 2 cyl production trucks

Yay 4 cylinder Silverado will look great in EPA tests.

All I’m hearing is Toyota Sera. Any other car is the wrong car.

Wait, does that actually read “DO NOT USE”?

Uh have you seen how clever these cheats are?

This year, NASCAR started mandating spec pit-guns. The big teams didn’t like that because they already spent millions developing super fast and super expensive pit guns. So they started quietly protesting the new rule by using unapproved gasses to power the pit-guns. The…

There’s an art to the tiny box the crews have to work in. Seeing small details like oil tank location (Gibbs at the end of 2017 were raising them back up, opposite of all the other teams), quarter panel shape, intentionally failing window braces, etc. etc. etc. Currently I think the Truck Series is the funnest…

There’s an argument to be made that it takes a more creative and talented engineer to find a solution in a tightly regulated field than it does in a fully open one. Based on the engineers that I know in the field (both Nascar specifically, and motorsports in general), they’re pretty damned good.

Not always, but the odds are in your favor.

This is a great question, the answer is yes. Turns out staring up front means you finish up front. http://scores.suntimes.com/motorsports/nascar/nascar-statistics.aspx?page=/data/nascar-truck-series/statistics/2017/start_to_finish.html

Harry Hogge, “There’s nothing stock about a stock car.”

Primarily it’s that they’re super worried about the legal brawl with California (and the states that want to adhere to the California standards) that might leave the US with two different fuel efficiency / emissions standards.
