The people who are buying GTs are the people who already have ferraris and/or Lamborghinis, or would never be caught dead in one because they’re too mainstream/boring.

American Christianity has more to do with Charlemagne-style crusades, imperialism, and manifest destiny than it has to do with anything in the bible.
Dumb people exist across all political spectrums.
A few more people die a year, government gets more money to use helping other people.
My guess is the low-volume record goes to the Aptera with a drag coefficient of 0.15:
Sub- 0.2 drag coefficient.
It’s a valid issue. Still a publicity stunt.
Wait, why is homeland security involved? This looks like it was all done within the borders. Shouldn’t it be the FBI who has jurisdiction over this?
Yeah, the general consensus is that detectors are legal because, on their own, they have very little power without jammers.

Yes, I mean laser jammers. Thanks for the clarification.

It’s a range thing. All radar guns emit radiowaves, but have to detect them as they bounce back, so they have a limited detection range based on how sensitive the gun is and how much radio noise there is. If your radar detection range is longer than the radar gun’s range, then you can slow down in the time between…

I wonder if something like this could be made for $10,000 or less under mass production...
Because time is money. 6 months of waiting vs $200,000? Not even a contest.
Chicago is probably not represented well because rent varies dramatically based on where you live. Even in the same neighborhood it can range from $400 per bedroom/month with roommates to $1500 per bedroom without. “Living comfortably” in the city vs “living comfortably” in the suburbs or south side are two very, very…
I wonder how much CGI was used to ‘enhance’ the effect.
Because the TT, A3 and A5 are all sedan or compact-based chassis and are not actual sports cars in the eyes of most consumers. Most people look at the TT as just a sportier version of the Beetle, still.
My point is that for the same cost, you have to lose one to have the other. If you want both, you have to pay for it. How much more depends on how well the manufacturer has managed to be efficient in designing the car.
Only if you compromise on the performance expectations. Luxury adds complexity and weight, the bane of performance.
Around here, where people are used to 10-15mpg sports cars, I wouldn’t call a 20mpg Town Car a “Gas guzzler”.
Fixed that for you.
