So this whole crowd already knows what this car should be, compared to what it is. Dumping the manual and farming everything out to BMW sure makes business sense, but gearheads aren’t swayed by Toyota’s business sense. And gearheads are the only ones who would’ve bought this car anyway. The normies will get a C8 or a…

This is a good take

what happened at deadspin?

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

Japanese styling.  German reliability.  They got it backwards.

It just takes one image, and the knowledge that it starts at under $60k to answer this question:

I know that. So what are you trying to say ? See my reply to the other person under this thread.

This DCT is a Tremec unit. The model naming suggests that this is the 7-speed version of the Corvette DCT.  With the Mustang getting a TR-9070 and the Corvette having a TR-9080.

What lesson were they supposed to learn? Don’t develop a shitbox DCT in-house and make your customers your beta testers? Are they doing that here?

I was blown away at that number. Everybody talks about the Challenger being porky but it’s WAY bigger and only weighs 200lbs more depending on the trim.

What extra power? We’re talking about marginally quicker drag times as a result of faster shifts. It’s not a question of more or less power. Even if a manual 2020 GT500 existed, I contend that, while it would be marginally faster on the strip (and maybe the track), there’s nowhere else that you could legally test the…

4200# Wow. I’ve been harsh on the ZL-1.

If you have $100k to spend on a car, there is a 99.9% chance that you will never even consider this. 

What a time to be alive!

I’d almost have the manual over the blistering zero to 60 time.

The Shelby 1000 costs $220k...

$92K as tested, that is $120,000.00 Canadian dollars.

*Piano music plays*

Waze adjusts for this, though. Once a feature (cops, debris, etc.) gets reported enough to get put onto the map, other drivers can acknowledge it or mark it as “not there”.  After enough of those, the object is removed from the map.

Back when Waze started up, the speed trap feature was the selling point. Then, it was found out that the police were using it to setup false locations for speed traps by reporting it themselves. The false location was then added to the Waze map app for everyone to see as “real”. Lying for the sake of public safety is…
