I believe it was an attempt at the tradition developed by the Plains Indians known as "Counting Coup."

I've had the fortune of racing against some professional drifters in a grip setting, and they've always struggled to find speed. Going for speed instead of a style takes a different mindset and technique. I'm sure with enough time as practice, they'd learn. They have excellent car control skills after all (the good…

That's quite literally the first thing I thought of.

I'd quickly kill myself and those around me if I had something like this. I'd always hold the accelerator down and imagine I'm throttling up a jet. Could we call top end the "Danger Zone"?

I believe in technicality, there is no difference between a pace car and a safety car. The difference I look at is that NASCAR, Indycar, and other series with a rolling start have several pace laps before the start of the race. The pace car leads the field to control the start of the race. Additionally, in stock car…

Perhaps we're looking at it wrong. Couldn't it be an electronically controlled line-lock for the purpose of warming up tires at a drag strip?

Neither is the Tatra shown at the top of the page. F1 doesn't have a "pace car"; safety cars, medical cars, and course vehicles. I still like this car even if just for the back-story.

Not necessarily because the car is amazing, but because it's still in use today....

The way I look at it, just like other sports, it's a team which chooses to retire a number, not a league. If all teams agreed to retire #3, they could in theory retire it for all of NASCAR, just like all MLB teams agreed to retire #42 for Jackie Robinson (although Mariano Rivera still used it until retirement).

It keep seeing this post in my feed. If I catch it out the corner of my eye, by brain immediately translates "Russian Nissan Juke" into "Russian Nuke".

Let me tell you about my mother.

She pulled the hell out of that hand brake. Sienna must understand the power of J-turns.

The Hyundai (with aftermarket turbo!) is on super-sticky R-S3s, and the Merc. is on stickier than stock rubber as well. All the while, the Mustang is on 245 all season P-Zero Nero tires. I'm not sure what the Mustang "Performance Package" is to them, but the 2010 Track Pack GT came with 255 summer-only P-Zeros. So I'm…

I have a feeling, with no facts to back it up, that the photos we're all seeing are of the V6 model. The grille we see in the test photos could be either the GT or the GT350. Mustangs have almost always had different grilles to distinguish the different trim levels. I suspect we'll be seeing a bunch of different…

I was just about to post this! Third party verification of a production vehicle. If more than zero manufacturers show up, I'd be impressed.

This reminds me of the very first Ferrari Challenge race I went to where this happened on lap 1.

Could have been worse....

When I see that, I don't feel so bad about the Mustang.... Even though the modern is so much heavier.

We had an '86 Caravan with a Winnebago conversion. There couldn't have been very many. Most conversions are done on full size Ram vans. It started as a cargo van with extra windows and fancy curtains added. Silver with blue and gray side stripes. Instead of 2 bench seats in the back, it had one which could fold down…

I know, but they didn't have an IS version. Besides, the corporate nose is generally the same across the board.
