Don’t Camaro’s race in this series? What about Corvettes?

K&N or some other filter company should run this as their add slogan.

I know...that was my point.

I don’t think I am particularly biased one way or the other. I like cars that have 1) enjoyable to drive, 2) have good performance (handling and power) and 3) a good value (compared to performance) and 4) hopefully reliability. That value part tends to leave out a lot of European cars, as right now Europe doesn’t…

And yet...with some exceptions, they can already drive better than you, a fully grown adult with a brain.

Yes, had the sensors all been working then the car would have avoided the accident, I just meant from the human perspective. People seemed to be blaming her for not paying attention, which while bad, likely wouldn’t have mattered much (in this very specific case).

Clearly if the sensors are not working, or if the…

I really don’t understand why this can’t have a manual option. They already have a manual transmission for this exact engine and chassis combo. It’s literally just a configuration at this point.

Beyond the fact that the car’s systems mysteriously failed to detect this woman, even if the human driver was paying attention or actively driving the impact would have still happened (assuming the video is an accurate depiction anyway). This lady should be a darwin award nominee. She J-walked directly in the path of…

Well she wasn’t exactly darting, but it was very much still her fault for j-walking right in front of a car that she should have seen and heard coming from vastly further away than the car could see her.

If the video was a real representation of what the driver would/could see then maybe a hyper-vigilant driver could…

Yes you were...you had your mouse pointer right over the pause button, and you knew an impact was coming.
Now imagine not being at a state of hyper-alertness and having to move your whole leg from it’s resting position to the brake.
That process would probably take 1 second in the absolute best case...which would give…

This wasn’t an ambient darkness situation, there was a streetlight illuminating the section of road in front of her, and she was hidden in the darkness behind it.
Try staring out the window of your house at night, and all you see is blackness. Turn off the lights inside and suddenly you can see outside quite well.

Having finally watched the video, there was only ~1.4 seconds from the time the person became visible to the impact. Even if the person had been paying attention (as they should have been) she would have only just been applying the brakes or swerving at impact.
I am going to go along with the “unavoidable” story.

And this is why I paid for shipping insurance on my car (that should be coming soon).

Not sure how much money he’s got tied up in this, but I’m gonna guess he should take the $10k and deal with it.
A lawyer will quickly suck up thousands of dollars if this goes much further, so unless he wants to end up like nissan.com he should just take a fair deal.

It’s funny because you are going the opposite direction of most people, which would be to have the fanciest and best looking thing that they can afford.
I say take it, and if you enjoy driving it keep it. If not trade it in for something you do like (assuming your dad is cool with that option).

Well given the vastness of the universe the existence of other intelligent lifeforms is almost a certainty. How likely is it that aliens have visited our planet? Well that is a lot less likely given that our current understanding of physics would mean it would take years just to travel to the nearest solar system even…

Speaking of good Japanese driving roads, while looking at various vehicle importers, I came across this guy - amagasaki motors.
Basically this (English speaking Frenchman who lives in Japan) gets a bunch of Japanese cars (mostly Kei), and makes review videos to sell them. His videos are very thorough detailing every…

Years ago when I was 18 I was driving my Mom’s LT1 Camaro Z/28 (which I had convinced her to buy, and then later bought off her at a big discount when she realized she was old and couldn’t get into a Camaro) and I was driving in a construction zone when a cop pulled out behind me.
As I approach the next traffic light I…

If the Supra is afraid of a 268hp sports car then maybe they should concentrate on making the Supra less sucky.

It isn’t going to have the cost/price impact Subaru is claiming.
The WRX has a base price of $27k, and it’s got the same engine but turbocharged, and it’s got AWD to boot. At ~$32k for a turbo BRZ Subaru would make more money per sale than they do currently, and they would increase volume considerably. I know two…
