How could you overlook this drivel:

Not if it is a norm in that region, as the standard for douchey-ness (spelling?) aren’t universal. I would offer that I would be uncomfortable doing that myself, having grown up in North America, but my many of my European friends and acquaintances don’t think it’s a big deal.

And I’ve seen those “Fiat Pandas” that you mention going a hell of lot faster than 60khp, next to joggers and bicyclist. They all hardly seem to notice each other and it’s pretty obvious that it’s another day in the office for everyone involved.

Have you driven in this region? This is pretty much standard operating procedure in the Alps...

Mass differential isn’t, in and of itself, “data” isn’t sufficient data to accurately draw the conclusion that they represent a risk to the passenger car population. The performance envelope of mainstream automobiles and pickup trucks is within a few points of the mean, so this probably can’t be used as the sole…

The data may be hard to find...or might not exist at all. That doesn’t change the fact that you thesis (paraphrasing) “pickups are a danger to cars” is a gratuitous assertion in every sense of the phrase. And, while my truck’s handling and braking distance most closely match the “left end” of the automotive…

I understand that pickups have greater mass. I also understand that modern trucks, such as my Ram 2500 (the tow rig for my track toys) actually has a shorter stopping distance and corners better than some cars sold today.

More assertions, no data. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s bad...

Are you actually stating that vehicles larger than yours are more dangerous (to you) than vehicles of less-than or equal size? Do you have any data to support that notion? I certainly haven’t seen any...

I love these kinds of events...wish I would of known about this in advance. Hard to keep track of all of open-road events!

I drove one a couple of months ago. It’s a baby 488 in a lot of ways, without the elbow room or amenities that broaden the spectrum of things that you can actually do with the car. This thing is very close to being a single-focused track-day car, even more so than a car such as a Viper ACR. The steering is wonderful,…

The DouSelect isn’t an in-house solution but is sourced completely from Graziano, similar to Ferrari of the same era.

Another tough call, but I’m going with borderline NP.

So happy to see Videodrome and Scanners represented...

As an ECU software engineer, and software salesman, I think that there are two issues: the egregious nature of the cheat and how difficult it really is to trace compiled software in an embedded controller.

There are a couple of best practices that we should discuss about this article.

This is right on the NP/CP border; it’s probably CP based on a quick search and my impression that there’s a lot of low-mile Corvettes in people’s garages. My opinion is based on conversations with a lot of Corvette owners that take pride in keeping miles off their cars. This isn’t an insult...just an observation.

I rented these several times on business trips and seriously considered buying one. These are, in my opinion, the zenith of the E/K platform but I would only consider a 93 with the Northstar as the ancient 4.5 is a dog.
