"transporting motorcycles and high end pets..."

Pretty brave to race experimental motorcycles of your own creation when your name is McPhail.

They did under-rate it, at 650. During the official SAE certification procedure, it made even more. You can place bets that even that number will be a bit conservative. Most of the 5.0 Mustangs are actually making about 425-30 crank hp, even though Ford rated them at 412.

I don't see too much of a problem with that (assuming that's what's going). It takes very close attention to detail to follow the rivalries and stories in racing, and it's actually fairly rare for those to always take place on-track in a timely manner that would make sense for a movie. Very, very few people going to…

Yeah, a case of over-thinking it. The conditions in the exhaust system are anything but atmospheric, and the pressures are constantly changing. Of course, this is an important and useful factor - by tuning header length and which headers tie into each other, the system can be designed to take advantage of those…

False. Because the laws of physics dictate that combustion is most efficient at a fixed ratio, more air is required to make more power. Therefore, you have more exhausted. The question of pressure is of course simply related to how small or large the exhaust piping is.

Well yeah. Even "cheap" professional car racing requires a 6 figure budget.

They get to go to school free, get the best tutoring help, best medical care, and are run through programs that prepare them for multi-million dollar careers. That isn't enough?

I don't see a problem. Football programs bring in hundreds of millions dollars to the school, if not nearly a billion dollars here in the SEC's biggest schools. Top coaches are paid something like $4 million dollars a year now. Who gives a crap if they get a free car? That's the least of the perks. Auburn has…

Some people don't care about cars or driving. Google has just the solution for you... or if you're more a "here and now" type, there's always the bus/train/subway.

Most women have terrible taste in cars. Sorry. Number of cupholders and cutesy functions in the onboard computer are not purchasing decision-makers.

Virginia is for lovers! ... of entirely bland license plates.

Never seen them yellow like that, but typically those are the hydraulic reservoirs for the clutch and brake system (2 master cylinders for the brakes, one front and one rear, for safety).

Not all, but many of the drivers drive in both series. So the talent is quite similar.

Nah, much lower state of tune across the board. But, thanks to the lower costs, Grand-Am does have a wider variety across the board.

Adjusting for inflation, CP.

Plus bigger trunk, useable rear seats, larger = safer mentality, iconic name/car... I simply don't see a large enough market at this price point. But, we shall see.

You know, for engineers, you'd think they'd understand that rubber compound is just as, if not more, important than contact patch. Now when they come up with a system that can change THAT on the fly, get back to me. Otherwise, I live in the South, so my summer tires are just fine year 'round, thanks.

Ah, I didn't realize that was different from the standard eBay contracts... as I'm sure many other people don't. The Real Estate part makes sense, as technical and varied as that is, but cars are basic personal property, so I can only imagine they got in with the dealers for that provision.

Best thing for them would be to work their asses off to find another X6 in similar shape, then get it to him at highly reduced or free shipping. If they take this "Oh, we're better than you. Screw the system, screw you" attitude, they'll end up in court; I think there's enough money there for an attorney to take it.
