You have too much energy my friend - I envy that. Also, I must be getting too old; my apologies for not embedding something properly in an internet forum.

But I guess your point is still correct since this thing was way more efficient than the cars it was beating on the street/track.

Holy Carp!!! How could I forget that?!?!? Boy do I have egg on my face.......

I figured as much.... but do ALL automakers need to do this tiny window? I’ve never driven anything that has one, but does it really make a difference? I feel like split/spoiler would fall exactly in your line of sight, so you'd either be looking above or below it to see out the rear. Why is the window split/spoiler…

Is this the “tramp-stamp” of smug environment-savers???

Yes, I’m [mostly] serious. Everyone interviewed said “this is stupid, we SHOULD NOT be racing in these conditions, they are unsafe”. I believe the 911 didn’t take over the lead from the 31DP until about 10min before the final caution came out. And the “LMP” that went off? Are you referring to the PC car that spun…

Wasn’t 2014 the first year they did away with the 1000 miles though? Don’t really know what my point is, other than with the last two years being not the greatest, maybe I’m still stuck in/longing for the ALMS days?

Ha - no worries. Just busting your balls... you mentioned the Porsche win and I’m still bitter, so, you know, that got me started..... may have taken it too far.

The greatest endurance race this side of the earth (save for LeMons lol). Top competitors from all over the world {used to} come to race, and this ensures unpredictability: a freaking GT car {was handed the win} this year due to {a marketing stunt}. Follows almost the exact rules as the greatest motor race in the…

Twelve Hours of Sebring - Audi doesn’t go to Daytona to shake down their cars for Le Mans. Prior to NASCAR taking over ALMS, and even after the FIA WEC abandoned the 12hrs for COTA, LMP1 teams still came over for the 12hrs... not as much for Petit Le Mans... (I believe only Rebellion?)

To elaborate on that idea: what about a track-day car that is still street legal? That’s something I’ve always wondered/wanted to do. How can I build a legit racecar but still be able to legally drive it around town/to cruse nights (because who wouldn’t want to show off their racecar do that just see the looks you…

While I agree with most of everything you said, you are wrong.

I like this for two reasons:

But you can buy a V8 BMW Z4? Oh, pardon me...

Let me clarify: I’m by NO means whatsoever saying anything positive about Toyota here, all I’m doing is saying [IMHO] Ford is turning into the American equivalent of Toyota.

Gotta admit - nothing says classy and “quality luxury brand” more than badge-engineering your economy model, changing a few trim pieces to plagiarize Jag/AM/Bentley, and then slapping Chrysler 200 headlights on it.....

Under-educated answer from a Corvette Racing fan who DD’s a Cadillac: the M6 is the closest thing BMW has to a true Grand Turismo (large 2+2 coupe with a big engine) that [with the exception of the i8] acts as BMW’s halo car. I realize that the M4 is most of those things, but I just feel like when comparing…

you climb higher and higher on my favorite persons list with each passing day... just so you know

As the proud, shameless, owner of an ‘81 for nearly the last decade, I approve of this message. I take flack from my buddies all the time as to why I would buy one of the worst Corvette ever and usually just shrug. But while the reason for loving these beasts isn’t always explainable, I think the quote “...and while…

“Unfortunately, most fans can only take so much vacation in a month to go to races before their employers start to wonder if they still exist.”
