Simple answer, closer ratios on the lower gears with a tall second overdrive for fuel economy.

Yea, because we really needed a 6 speed manual at all. Because 5 speeds were so broken.

I own a C6, and while it's not my dream car (Zonda wins that title) it is very much in the upper echelon of performance vehicles in regards to capability. Double wishbone suspension, lighter than almost all of its competition on the track, incredibly reliable and oh... very fast.

"Emulation" will probably be a little tricky given all the hooks the XB1 has into Microsoft services. However given that there won't be true emulation due to the hardware being very closely related to off-the-shelf components it is absolutely a feasible endeavor in the next couple of years. If it were me I'd start…

I should also note, this was only after confirming that everybody was fine.

More than a a few chuckles originating from people that know Mr. Chen this evening.

For all the problems with British cars very few other countries produce such absolutely stunning vehicles. I get to drive a lot of fast and fun stuff but the M400 and M600 are very special and live in a rarified space next to Pagani and McLaren on my must purchase list.

I'm not sure who that's a bigger affront to; leopards or Audis?

Jason, I was there too, here's the deal as I understand it. My background is in software development outside of all the automotive media stuff I'm involved with so I've got a fairly decent grasp on system architectures.

To be completely fair if you watch the video whoever was driving the Camaro botched the launch horribly. They spin for about the first 100+ feet.

I think we can safely say we've already seen Mr. Musk succeed. The number of units they are shipping for an upstart manufacturer is astounding. Widespread adoption will likely be determined by the success of the charging infrastructure Tesla is trying to put in place across the country.

Tesla has showrooms (not dealerships) placed around the country, and in most states if you are operating a business in the locality you owe taxes. Additionally most states require that you pay taxes on new vehicle purchases conducted outside of the state prior to registration.

Glad you're enjoying the show. We're recording another episode tonight with Mr. Angry himself Mike Musto of Big Muscle.

Caswell is in Europe, freaking Farah is too and I'm at home jealous as shit.

Angry internet man is angry....

Does not look fun at all. I had an old radiator hose pop off while tightening a bolt on my intake manifold and gave me nasty 2nd degree burns all over my left hand. It was 3 months before that healed up completely and I lost a lot of skin in the first week. After dealing with that I'm extra cautious working near hot…

Make that any car in a rally with decals all over it. We've had many guests on our podcast including Andy Duncan (owner of Bullrun) attest to even modest cars with rally decals garner the wrong kind of attention.

Ok, so I used to work across the street from the Motor Trend/Hot-Rod/Source building and know a lot of people there. While Travis is right that it's a straight road, there are two treacherous intersections within an 1/8 mile of either side of where this happened. Additionally there is a high-end steakhouse across…

Have you ever seen the repair bill on a semi-exotic such as an Aston? Even discounting the price of repairing such an expensive vehicle, aluminium chassis are incredibly difficult to mend properly once tweaked.

To everybody here bitching about this being a Lotus, you couldn't be more wrong.
