The bird tried it again with mark Webber's car in the F1 practice session afterwards. It is now an ex-bird. RIP, you wonderful avian lunatic.

Ah please come on, this Panther-boner madness needs to stop. Panther-based cars are dead and the world is better place.

I'm going to cast my vote on the side of b-thumper. He special ordered something, BMW said that they'd deliver the product as ordered and failed to do so. Get on him for whining all you want but that's a failure on BMWs part, not his. That's a lot of money... I'd be frustrated as well.

Fixed! Sorry about that. Let's just say they didn't hire me for my algebra skills.

Corrected.

You need to do Monaco back to Amsterdam?

Absolutely No drinking alcohol in my vehicle. I don't care if it's hidden in a cup or if it's mixed in a Coke. Leave it.

No smoking in my car...........EVER!

Yeah as you suspect. This guy is not using any inertia at all to drift, only slamming the throttle gives you theese half ass looking drifts. But considering its consumer reports, its cool. Like seeing grandpa breakdance at a wedding.

I've driven 2 RX-8s in my life and was thoroughly underwhelmed by it. It handled well but from a stop it was painfully slow... I remember just waiting for something to happen when I hit the gas. It was a bit better with on-ramp acceleration but not much.... add to that its inefficient and unreliable rotary and…

I'm somewhat young, and at 29 I've saved three cars that I believe will matter in the future (04 R32, 78 VW Bus, 62 Type 3). I lost my A4 USP Avant 6MT (only a few hundred sold in the states) thanks to getting rear ended. I plan to never let the great ones leave me. My wife supports my passion, which is part of why…

This also reminds me of Cadillac's original Series 452 V16. It was created in a similar way by merging two Buick straight 8's onto a common crank and crank case. There was a single cam shaft that operated the 32 valves and single distributor, but each bank of cylinders had its own intake manifold and carb. It was also…

The power output even sounds similar to the M70, although I believe the M70 spec only had SOHC cylinder heads.

I second this. Especially in the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix when it caught out 3 world champions.

In modern cars I actually don't think Eau Rouge is that bad. As technology has advanced going through that corner alone has become less challenging. Going through that corner side by side is a different discussion.

Turn 13 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The wall on the exit has been affectionately and appropriately named the 'wall of champions'.
