What the fu......

It's not a waste, they use them so they don't have to make the valve covers and other would-be visible parts pretty. ie, paint and lettering on valve cover. Just cover all the crap with some decent looking plastic, done.

Sports cars have reached a point where it's hard to gain significant performance without electronic advancement. You can expect GM to throw as many computer chips as possible at this thing.

That's the best thing, an old ipod, a huge 64gb brick. Especially if the head unit is ipod ready, you never have to take the ipod out.

I guess the sarcasm went right over your head

A little hooning goes a long way. More drivers should take their car to an open area and explore the limits of traction in the snow.

Considering the amount of F1 drivers that have been a part of TG, it's safe to assume that Clarkson knows the difference. He drives for ratings.

Loved it!

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

5th Gear. The GT500 can't be registered, or can't be registered YET?

What is that machine at 28 seconds?

I don't know much about Audi's R18 or why it's so successful in racing.

LOL!

Because diesels have an inherently small powerband that tends to die down as the rpm's climb, not ideal for racing.

I wish I had the money to practice.

LOL Honda? I actually own a Nissan, an S chassis as a matter of fact. I took issue with your insinuation that Nissan control arms are weak or below standard, I now understand what you meant.

Huh? ....really stupid comment

I saw the same faces at GAS that were at WCC.

I was just using Haynes as an example, but surely, somewhere out there, there must be an R8 full service manual.
