At what point do we stop saying "beltlines" and switch to something like chestlines? Pretty soon you'll need to be 6'5 just to see out of a GM vehicle.

... all good reason.

It says you're gay.

Hmm, somehow I missed this earlier. I blame 5.0.

While he isn't Newman, McQueen, or Garner, Patrick Dempsey could well *become* as legendary as those men. He first stepped into racing only a handful of years ago and was somewhat of a joke - he tried hard, but he was awfully slow. Today, he owns one of the most competitive teams in Rolex GT and has proven himself…

No flaming; you are absolutely correct.

You're kidding, right?

Equal rubber != simply street tires. "Street tires" of 70s ilk are junk even compared to 80s tires. Put them on equal modern radials and the numbers tend to close up quite a bit.

The relevant question: on equal rubber?

The S/C'd Cobra, while an incredible car for its time, was pretty quickly overshadowed by the GT500s just a few years later and, now, probably by even the standard GT - the owners I've talked said the power is great, but the handling, not so much. The original Boss, on the other hand, is one of the coolest muscle…

Nothing. But it's going up against one of the most extreme, rare, and highly regarded muscle car homologation specials ever. And therefore it must lost, b/c it simply isn't extreme, rare, highly regarded, or special.

NDA's are standard fare for settlement offers, especially from corporations. They don't want the public at large to know that they could get X amount of money for X issue. Chrysler's only real concern is keeping the NHTSA off their backs, which, let's be honest, isn't that hard, especially with vehicles that are…

Whether you believe it or not... it was a well-written response with at least a few explanations.

Who wants to bet that they didn't use ramps, and therefore scraped the heck out of that front end?

Noted. I'll be sure to forward that statement to your jurisdiction's prosecutor.

I agree with that and have actually argued it myself. I think the only risk with that is that LMP1 is so expensive (to actually be competitive at the top) that you'd only have a couple prototypes, if any. Secondly, they've massaged the rules a lot to where LMP1 and 2 are sufficiently different again to make some…

If you pay more than $2k for a 250, you've been robbed blind. I got my '96 VFR (just like the one pictured) for $3k and it's nearly perfect and somewhat of a cult bike. Your average older 600 or any other sports touring bike is very accessible for $2-3k; the math is just a lot easier with 2 instead of 3. $10k would…

This was ALMS's own idea a few years ago. They seem to be going backwards at a high rate, tripping over themselves trying to make a class for everybody. It's ridiculous. The spec prototype class is one of the stupidest ideas IMO. Lose it. LMP1 and 2, keep those, then just have GTE and GTA for pro teams and…
