These were only the Cup 2 as well, imagine if you put it on the Cup 2 R which has been shown to be about a half second per km faster...might beat that GTD time from the other day.

*Shrug*. Show me a Mustang GTD you can buy for 350k. All we can really compare right now is MSRP. Chances that the prices the GTDs eventually trade hands for are less than the GT3 RS are pretty slim.

I just don’t see this as particularily impressive. If this was a $100k mustang it would be world beating to go this quickly, but when your mustang costs substantially more than a GT3 RS and is eight seconds slower....meh?

The flares really made the car. The first versions of it never quite did it for me with the slab sides, but with the flares it’s a damn fine looking automobile. I wouldn’t want one personally, but I respect em.

I always liked the C4 corvette method

They definitely have them in the showrooms here, and I see one driving around downtown regularly enough I don’t think it’s just visiting. To be fair though, I can’t say for sure that it had a BC plate on, so maybe someone did bring it across.

There are definitely already cybertrucks sold in Canada. There are a couple driving around downtown Vancouver, BC that I see regularly.

It would be very interesting to see how a nurburgring time compares with the new tires. One of the few chances to actually re-set a record in ‘production’ form but with modern tire compounds.

I would say these two parts of Hyundai Canada’s statement could easily insinuate he exceeded the rev limiter:

“the engine experienced conditions exceeding its designed operational limits, resulting in significant mechanical failure. These findings point to excessive engine revving...”

There’s a big difference between taking the engine up to the rev limiter, and actual over-revving which can only really be caused by downshifting.

Yeah, that’s exactly my point. New, big, heavy cars are worse for the safety of everyone except the occupants.

Modern cars are, for the most part, fantastic. Plus, you don’t have to worry about dying if you get into a minor car accident, and they’re – for the most part – better for the environment.

The question is, how much slower than the C8 ZR1 will it be?

Of course, simply increasing the tax rates doesn’t help, because on paper his income isn’t actually that much. He gets it all in the form of assets, which aren’t taxable until they are sold because they aren’t monetary income. Then he uses those as collateral to get loans, which aren’t taxable. It’s the typical scheme…

It’s not about just power. It’s about power to weight. You need a lot less horsepower in a miata than you do in a 5000+lb EV.

My personal rules of thumb are the minimum to not feel excessively ‘slow’ is 20lbs per hp. So in a 3000lb car, you need 150hp. This is why a CRX SI or Miata which have just over 100hp but weigh…

Makes a lot of sense to me for a vehicle where they are expecting the rear seats to be heavily used. Unlock both doors on the side the driver is on first, presumably they have the kids with them and will be loading them in through their side door. Then the lights flashing is a helpful little feature to tell you what…

You know that the Corvette GT3 car is based on the C8 Z06, right? Like, same 5.5L flat plane crank engine? And the ZR-1 is a step further above that. You could argue the GTD is actually farther away given the real Mustang GT3 uses a 5.4L N/A engine , not this supercharged GTD motor. And as others have pointed out, Mult…

On a normal mustang, yes. On the GTD? The first modification will be to prep it for storage, stick it in a warehouse, and never drive it.

Yeah...I wasn’t sold on the Supra at first, but it’s hard to argue with when it’s absolutely slaying pretty much any form of amateur motorsport, and especially now that there’s a manual option. I still don’t like all the fake vents, but there’s no arguing that it’s a great car.

Also the part where they blamed it all on the new billing model. Y’know, where they can’t just bill NASA for enormous cost overruns anymore and actually have to deliver a product for the quoted cost.
