Regenerative braking systems will illuminate your brake lights once you brake beyond a certain amount, so that isn’t an issue in this case.

I think a lot of people are making arguments against this system using their experience with other types of systems... when in reality they should be praising the adoption of this…

Even if he was referring to the safety aspect, that’s completely irrelevant in this scenario. So still not a valid counter-argument, lol.

It is of course different in how it operates, but the concept (lifting off on the gas pedal to drag the car down from speed) is the same. In practice, it functions BETTER than engine braking, because you can slow the vehicle down even more. It takes some getting used to, as with any new vehicle you drive, but once you…

For noise reasons. So not relevant to electric cars.

Have you actually tried it? It’s very enjoyable and relaxing in practice...

Do you also think engine braking should be illegal?

If test results accounted for every eventuality in the real world, plane crashes, recalls, warranties, etc... wouldn’t exist. Don’t be silly.

Don’t blame the technology for your inability to properly operate the equipment, lol.

I would LOVE to hear your reasoning behind this. Because now there is grass and dirt on the undercarriage that has to be cleaned off?

Would you call it abuse if someone posted video of this car going around a track, or doing a top speed run? Because I assure you either of those is far more brutal on the entire car than…

It wasn’t empty. Too lazy to find the video, but there is video of the incident, and when the van drives away, a massive spray of fuel comes from the top of the pump, where the hose meets.

They should make use of that blade and give it some mad cornering skills by using it as a downforce generator like that old F1 car. Active ground effects FTW!

TPMS System
ABS System
etc...

Yeah my bad. I hate how Gawker limits the time you can edit a comment. I admittedly didn’t read the last paragraph until it was pointed out to me somewhere else. In my defense it was the second-to-last sentence in the article!

This was just the car's way of smacking the driver in the head for racing with one hand at 12, and one hand on his lap, like a fucking moron.

When I am president, leaving those stupid-looking yellow plastic shipping protectors on a Hellcat / Demon post-purchase will be punishable by a $25,000 fine, and up to 3 years in a federal prison.

Ewwww! Ugly FR-S bumper is ugggllyyy!!!

I guess you’ve either never driven one, or only get excited by straight line speed.

Shouda boughta BRZ. I have heated mirrors :)

Different strokes for different folks! All I’ll say is that I actually prefer driving a slower car that feels light, than a faster car that feels heavier. (Within reason, obviously.) It used to annoy my dad that I told him I preferred the way my 15 year old Subaru Outback handled in the corners as compared with his…

The point of my post was not to say that the Twins have the perfect amount of horsepower. It was just using my personal anecdote about the car I own to agree with the idea that cars need to be lighter.

It’s also REALLY hard to find a vehicle for sale today that can give you the power-to-weight ratio you are looking…
