@hellcamino59: Holy crap that's awesome.
@John Carter: I've often wondered about that. I was reminded of how different life must be for gorgeous women one day when I was walking down the street with one of our interns who's a very athletic, 6ft tall beautiful blonde woman. It was a surreal experience; I swear you could sense heads turning as you walked down…
I want to see if this can actually make it here and hopefully show other automakers that there is a real market for trucks that are not huge, not excessively luxurious, and get good mileage.
@intense1: I think he means it is freeing because it frees you from having to take responsibility.
I love the snarky commentator, "Well, this could be the highlight of Salazar's career, so let's see that again."
@SlowMo: oh and this was a design where Chapman was experimenting with aerodynamic pressure centers; I suppose he had to because the car has a very smooth undercarriage. Fantastic little car powered by the famous all aluminum fire-pump-cum-race-engine Coventry Climax FW-series engine.
1959 Lotus Elite- Fiberglass monocoque chassis.
@CobraJoe: I'll just post this here.
@horspowr1001 has played GT5 once since he got it: Nice. I LOL'ed. For some reason I occasionally find myself talking to myself like the Count. I would blame my daughter but she's not even old enough to watch Sesame Street so I just have to blame it on general oddness.
@anitesh.jaswal: I'm just seconding jjp's explanation. It has less to do with visible light stuff than it has to do with drivers being able to calculate potential closing speeds in the dark. If you're in a GT2 or 3 car and the car diving in under braking has white headlights, don't turn in until they've blown past…
@CobraJoe: I agree. I love this. The last Ferrari I really loved was the 550 Maranello, especially in racing trim, the 430 etc just haven't swung my tach around but the curves on this one... mmm-mmm...
@M4rkyM4rk: Too bad you're likely to have to suffer with seeing them for many more years. The BBS modular wheels have been a mainstay of sportscar racing for decades and probably will for many more. Years ago I worked as a tire shagger at many races and if you didn't have one before, you develop a deep respect and…
@Sim Kahlon: That's a real winner. And the ending just makes it better.
@uhalevi: oooo. Fireball BEFORE impact. Very nice.
@Dominic Chan: I was there for that. The crowd went absolutely nuts and stormed the track. Alesi was definitely a sentimental favorite among many fans.
@Demon-Xanth: Definitely sliding horse FTW!
@mynameisjay: I love it as a double post with eraserface's post in between. The images are synchronized so it's like a moving stereoscopic image. Very trippy.
@Barnaby Jones: Certainly the Williams system looks promising (like in the Porsche GT3). I haven't heard much about what the other manufacturers are developing, but I suspect Ferrari may be building some of their hybrid road cars so they can do development work without running afoul of F1 testing rules.
@Barnaby Jones: I haven't read the specs yet, so is KERS still going to be optional? That would be interesting. Like the early turbo era we may see the technology shift where the early cars designed to not support KERS (like the Brawn chassis was) may be good early on until the KERS technology matures and then the…
