Yes we do both agree on that point. I can also agree that the BMW motor would be more expensive. However, with the TT V8 M5 for example, the power out put is pretty extreme (1.8 bar) but it still gets 28 mpg and has 500 lb-ft at 1,500 rpm (http://www.topspeed.com/cars/bmw/2012-bmw-m5-ar100010.html). So while I can…

That is true. 70 lb-ft is quite a bit more and I am sure makes a difference. But that torque figure still seems low to me for such a large motor. I just think that if 450hp and 450lb-ft is all they wanted they could have achieved that with a much smaller motor. But maybe the target customer would rather have a…

That is true adding turbos and intercoolers does add weight but the performance gained more than makes up for the weight. I would imagine the cylinder deactivation has more to do with the highway mileage than the fact it is a large displacement motor.

The only article I could find with respect to the weight of the motor was in a comparison to the BMW 4.4L Twin turbo.http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/24/meet-the-lt1-the-corvette-c7s-new-6-2-liter-small-block-v8/.

Agreed. Ford was able to get 420 out of a 5.0 L. 450hp out of a 6.2 L is a little light.

Instead of the ipad mini it could be the itouch maxi. I like it.

I really hope Toyota does not have the same idea. I don't even want to imagine a 4Runner crossover...

I think I would have been more surprised if there actually was a 2013 NJ Grand Prix. I knew it was too good to be true.

Yes. I totally agree with you. This seems to be more of an issue with the justice system catching up and imposing laws for the internet. Leaving "justice" in the hands of random people on you tube and the media is a bad idea. There are no regulations for those doing the "outing" other than their own conscience. …

Kind of reminds me of that effed up movie "Happiness"

What in the hell is that from?

Yes, my assumptions were incorrect.

I assumed this article was going to be about Maldonado...

If Fox wants to take Speed and make it NASCAR and other sports could we please get a Speed 2 for all the other forms of racing out there. I can not tell you how happy I would be if I could watch DTM, WRC, F1, V8 Super cars, BTCC, Moto GP, etc. all on one channel.

Many of the Mercedes Designo colors...

All the unnecessary lights that are outside every neighborhood because people can not figure out how to time a traffic maneuver.

My first car was a 300E and I always coveted the 500E. I thought that was such a bad ass car, especially after I got to drive one. This one looked so promising but I just can't get over the salvage title. CP.

My understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, but there is only so much mechanical grip to be gained. There are special suspension components, differentials and computers that can aid a car in handling. After that is where aerodynamics come in. There might be some substitute I am unaware of but as far as I know…

That poor Gallardo in Mission Impossible..

Absofreakinlutely!! Although she would be way more concerned about my driving than the navigation that would be a blast, and a great story to tell. I'm in 100%.
