Another way to look at it is that the electric car has far cheaper maintenance/operational costs for its service life. Might actually be the better long term option

Also, is the plastic really so bad? It’s similar to what’s in my Ram, and honestly, it’s fine for day to day living. I don’t rub my face on that stuff, so why does it even matter? If you want a luxury car, get a luxury car

Yes! I have one, so I support this message...even though I’m in Canada

I guess I should have read farther, because I just made the same point. Most cars are crazy quiet now when they’re operating normally.

I just want to say, your average car driving down the road isn’t that loud, and the majority of the noise that you do hear is from the tires themselves (unless it’s a muscle car or someone’s flooring it). I’m all for safety, but the noise regulation may do little to change the fact that many people just don’t pay…

Haha, yeah, it’s amazing driving, but it’s only possible thanks to those good ole physical laws. Even just saying “appears to defy physics” would cancel out the sensationalism.

Old supercar beats new cheap muscle car? There’s a ton of cars you could sub into the GT spot with that criteria. Why not have it face off against a 2005 Veyron. How dare it lose to that old car.

And no punishment for the people involved in the GM ignition switch cover-up that I know of (that actually killed a bunch of people).

David Lee was excellent in all of his appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage. Seems like a genuinely nice and fun guy, which should be the only criteria needed to qualify him for a car. This type of “exclusivity” makes Ferrari the snooty waiter of car companies.

Better stated: 4,990 miles long (or 8,030 kilometers, everywhere except for Myanmar, Liberia, and the good ole U.S. of A)

Not just a sweet jump, but also possibly the best “Daaaaaayuuuuuummmm” I’ve ever heard in a video.

I had family talk with Subaru about whether the warranty on an STI would be upheld if they took it rally racing, and apparently they had no problems with that (for the drive train anyway)! Maybe that was just the particular dealer, but it still makes the Vancouver place in question look all the more terrible.

People always act like Musk was somehow a bad guy, or a fool, for staying on the council, but it’s unbelievably important to keep opposing viewpoints within earshot of a president. Otherwise, the White House just becomes an echo chamber (even more so than usual). Everyone should be applauding Musk for holding out as…

Apparently some companies force their engineers to initially work as a technician to solve the whole wrenching problem. That way they understand everything from the design stages through to assembly and repair. I personally worked in a defence company where I did everything from design to assembly, and it was a very…

Speaking as an engineer, I respect your unwavering stance on this matter! You tell them! You tell the world!

Smaller than 30 years ago, but keep in mind that there’s ongoing development on them. As it said in the article you linked, the missiles used over the last few years are a newer iteration.

*high fives* for the Porschelump script on the back

So if the Air Force produced it, then that $170,000 is for materials and fabrication alone. This number is therefore misleading, because it doesn’t include the development costs in the price. The 1.4 million per Tomahawk, is materials, production, development costs (usually the biggest part, just look at the F35), and…

This car has a bunch of new technology. It may share the body of the Challenger, but it’s definitely a new car (or at the very least a new trim level). Furthermore, it all comes from the factory with a warranty. It’s not equivalent to sticking a random supercharger on a corvette or something. Your argument is invalid.

That. Is. Awesome! Forget all the negativity, this is a street car that is utterly ridiculous. I for one, am going to give the people at SRT a nice and long slow clap for bringing this thing into reality.
