James May has always been hilarious in his own way, but the way in which he looks right at the camera with a slight smile as he says "I very desperately have to write the eBay listing for my Ferarri" makes me feel like it's a code for Jeremy and Richard watching.

"...its 0-60 mph time was originally set at 3.9 seconds, but now it's 3.1 seconds."

At first the ATS-V's 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 was rated at 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. But Cadillac announced today that the engine is SAE-certified at 464 horsepower and 444 pound-feet of torque.

Bummer, since bland styling is all the rage, (audi, Bmw...) ahem... Yes it is a shame if it gets toned down I did really enjoy those sharp angles of the of the past cts-v.

Wait...what

So if you think it might be 10,000 dollars definitely save up at least 1,000,000,000,000 dollars, just to be sure.

organization is important!

Bag and tag EVERYTHING. Even if it's just junk you're going to toss and replace, you still need to have the sad, rusted, and stripped bolts, screws and clips available for reference.

Also, you will really piss off the other participants if you win the competition in an unpainted car. They can stand loosing, but not to something ugly.

Might sound obvious, but don't ever buy a project car as your only car. Seriously.

If you look at 2 methods for doing something, one that will be cheaper and probably work, and one that will be more expensive and definitely work, do the more expensive one. The cheaper one will either not work, or break sooner, and you'll just have to do the more expensive one too.

"Just because the turbo can put out more boost, that doesn't mean the connecting rods will stay inside the engine bay."

Low center of gravity, rear weight bias, as much weight as possible, and graphite powder the heck out of the axles. Also, polish the axles to a mirror finish and smooth out the wheel hubs to reduce friction as much as possible.

Should change the rules such that any audit where there's no evidence of cheating you get credited somehow. Seems like an easy way to "punish" your competitors as in this case without any repercussions.

Apparently they didn't publish any of the "First!" -letters they received every time.

Ah yes, the snail mail trolls....I'll craft my attack, wait several weeks for a retort and then go for the kill months later....hilarious.

It smiles mockingly as it kills you, silently judging you for the textbooks you bought in paperback form.
