What makes this guy a douche? He's running on the track, as he should. There's no ridiculous customizations on the car, AND he owned up to his error. All-round good car guy to me.

This guy doesn't sound like a douche at all.

I'm curious what makes you think he is a douche? Seems to me like he was flogging his car, which most people bitch about performance car owners not doing, and admitted he screwed up and it was his fault.

As a locomotive engineer, I'll weigh in. We are required to sound the horn 15-20 second before reaching the crossing. Honestly, it wouldn't matter if we just ran around constantly sounding the horn. People will still pull out in front of us, risking their lives to save a minute or 2. In the case of this video, the…

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but IMSA had nothing to do with giving out invites. It's all the ACO, and there wasn't much of a decision to make; they won so they got invited. Plain and simple. I think...

Every thing IMSA does is foolish so this was kind of expected.

They would have needed to come in for the driver change anyway. The error was that they were trying to save fuel to make it to the end, forgetting that they needed the driver change and should have been going flat out to get Ricky in the car faster.

But you can see Pirelli World Challenge on the internet, for free! With no commercials even!

Please stop giving this douchebag more attention.

This is an exaggerated Gourney flap.

Just as in the case of these new LMP cars though, they were only aesthetically homogenous. In the case of engines for instance, they were wildly diverse.

This. No one gave a shit about FWD...I still don't understand why anyone would modify anything FWD. (Not counting places / countries where FWD is the only thing you can get your hands on...gear heads will prevail) The only thing besides RWD being popular would be AWD...and that's only on a selective few vehicles. It's…

Exactly, myself and most of the car people I know are complaining about the lack of "cheap" 4 or 6 cyl manual rwd cars. Sure I can get an older bmw 3/5 series or some of the older mercedes but what I would really love is the rwd equivalent of a camry. Cheap to buy, cheap to fix, reasonably reliable. I've considered a…

Right. Demand never went away, companies just stopped making them, probably due to safety and monetary reasons.

Seeing them go around Sebring they held absolutely no awe in my mind. They were more loud than fast, and they really aren't an entertaining class to watch because they nerfed the P2 cars so bad with shit tires and trying to protect the 70's era chassis from the might of the P2 class.

If only IMSA could give the LMP2's proper tyres.

I saw the sedan version last Friday, first I can remember, I live in Puebla where the plant is a lot of Germans import their vehicles I have seen diesel version of beetles, passats. also I have seen prototypes many of them, passat W8 only one.

I tried SO hard to get my mother to buy one of these back in '04. Unfortunately for me she is a rational person, and went with a V70.
