Kind of mean for Brad to rub it in, eh?

I won’t try make a claim on the proper time, but I did not think that lap was very ‘violent’, it was a pretty settled lap compared to other cars driven for time around VIR. Barely any tire squeal. There is more time to be had there.

Seriously, what three day weekend?  I’m working on monday, the kids have school on monday.  

This is right. The Z06 normally comes first, with the widebody and the new engine, then the GS comes along next, with the base engine & widebody.

This had me thinking of the SNL skit from last weekend called Midday News

I want my new C8 and y’all are f’ing it up with this strike.  GM and UAW need to work this out so we can get back to 10 new Corvette articles a day.

I’m torn on the Panamera. I’ve got a 2012 Turbo S and thinking about upgrading to a new one, but I’ll go down on horsepower doing that, unless i get the hybrid, which adds at least 500 lbs. I need to see research more stats on this BMW (weight, active suspension?), but it’s definitely getting a look.

Agreed, I’m not arguing that it is practical, just legal. Sort of like calling my DB-9 a 4-seater. I’ve yet to meet an adult that can last more than 15 minutes in the rear seats.  But it works for the kiddies.

They still have rent-a-cops in the mall and patrolling the lots (yellow flashing lights on the vehicle). But the real town police and sometimes state police do patrol the lots and will enforce traffic laws. (When I say ‘lots’, realize that the mall is so damn big there are full-on roads running thru it. King of…

Hey, can we get a whole jalopnik article on this?  I’d never heard of airbag suits, that sounds very super interesting.

Okay, some more data, from here, http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/

Well played, I love comments with real data. i do agree that the Silverado is embarrassingly ugly.

I imagine it varies. Generally the rule is that police do not enforce on private property - but if you have more than X acres of property then you can opt-in to having police enforcement. King of Prussia mall is the one example in Eastern PA where the landlord has done that, police can enforce on the mall’s property.

Seriously - if you are paying attention here, there are a lot of clues for what the widebody Z06 version of the C8 will look like, if you look past the ‘racecar-only’ features (there won’t be a rear underbody diffuser like that, the wheels will be a bit bigger, ...)

And here is the picture from the China C7.R last year

Yeah the white/blue is nice, but none of those vettes you picture are the factory Corvette racing team. This scheme is actually very consistent with their history:

Yup, I couldn’t understand what he was talking about either. I guess he is mad they dropped the suicide doors?  

(not a lawyer) but it seems like the actual claim here should be for negligence, letting someone with insufficient skill / training drive a massively overpowered / undersafe car, not the lack of the (non-manadatory) safety equipment.

There are 18 variants of the Panamera now. There are 2 of the Taycan at launch. I’d say wait a few years and you’ll probably have a P100D fighter.

Yeah, I’m afraid you missed the whole point of this article.
