One of the more interesting takes was Jethro Bovingdon of EVO/DriveTribe.

Pretty sure if you look thoroughly enough in the car you’ll find a crack pipe.

Better the offset tow hook mount than drilling into the bumper.

What’s interesting is the SLR ended up being McLaren’s chance to productionalize a bunch of proof-of-concept stuff they wanted to do for their eventual Super Series line — the carbon fiber safety cell, and the air brake, plus presumably many other things that aren’t so obvious - without bearing the full cost…

I think the problem is going to solve itself.

The only crazy turbo-6 Cayman that comes to mind is Bruce Blockus’.

Actually the entry level car to get people into a Porsche is a Macan.

Porsche is the definition of pay to play.

That impatience is why you won’t get what you want. Order a car. It’s easy.

Of course not. Just imagine if you went to a 1000-car Mustang meet up!

Holy shit, someone who properly examines both perspectives! Star earned!

It does. But they keep making it better and better. Tech moves fast.

If you can improve the mileage of a mid-engine rear-drive sports car with 140 rating tires — driving it as intended on backroads — I’d love to hear it.

Read “Garbage Infrastructure” and wondered if I was going to be taken to yet another niche Gawker blog, this time about sanitation and waste disposal.

Yep. Grooved pavement in particular. Part of the reason it’s done is it puts some of the rubber of the vehicles that drive over it into the grooves.

I drive a Boxster Spyder everywhere, and unless it’s raining, always top down. In a climate just as cold, as that gets just as much snow as Michigan.

This. The best analogy I’ve ever heard is is, “people buy a product to do a job.” For example, some people get a coffee in the morning as not only a stimulant, but for convenience, and for some as a “treat” to themselves.

I look at the GT cars as a never ending program. The issue is every so often they have to “make a release” and sell them to the public. Things they may have had ideas about on a GT3 end up making it into the following GT3 RS. Ideas they got late in the development on the GT3 RS make it into the next GT3. And so…

The target for a new GT3 is always to best the outgoing GT3 RS.

Some TPMS sensors need to be explicitly reset via a menu to turn the light off, even if you inflate tires to the correct pressure. I know Honda does that.
