Do it! I’ll buy one and happily use it to make resounding “Thump!” noises.

That was an awesome finish! Great racing.
The Miata leaks more oil than the Healey too. My Fiat on the other hand doesn’t leak at all.
We do emissions testing every other year. A new exhaust is on the list for that car. A test pipe is probably the best temporary solution.
The Healey’s fuel pump is leaking and I have a good spare. The Miata’s catalyst is failing which has partially blocked the exhaust.
Is Franz von Holzhausen still working with Tesla?
Further proof of just how awesome Mazda is. They also have a great club racer support program. It’ll be hard to pry me from a Miata.
Well said. This message can’t be repeated often enough. Some of us managed to survive our youthful lunacy through pure luck. In hindsight, I was an utter fool. Fortunately a lucky fool.
I’ve driven a couple of VW Beetles from the passenger seat. No reason to do so other than because I could.
How cool would it be if they made it able to withstand track day use. I’m excited either way because it will certainly be a fun street car as well.
We need proof. I won’t beleive this until I see video of Big Bird being thrashed about in a haze of tire smoke.
Whenever I see one of these, I’m tempted to shout “Beware the CLAw!”
That’s an amazing car. I’ve always wanted a Bristol (one of the Capri-ish looking ones) and love seeing this mythical beast in motion.
ARDONA was Alfa Romeo Dealers of North America.
I’d argue the distinction definetly matters, particularly when expanded beyond the traditional U.S. brands. The broadening of the performance rear drive sedan market brings us V8 “muscle cars” not just from Dodge and Chevrolet, but also from Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, and Lexus.
Outstanding piece of writing. Seriously, this is Vanity Fair feature level stuff, well done.
By god, I will go to the Goodwood Festival of Speed some day.
That machine is awesome in the true meaning of the word.
I’ve always thought those cars sounded like mooing cows. Any time I see one in traffic I start mooing along. When I see them at autocrosses I call them sports cows, which has a bit of double funny because the Z and Gwhatever are more than a little zaftig.
