Enzo, who only cared about speed, would probably not handicap his cars with some antiquated technology like a manual transmission.

With all of the the room available for aero black magic and the stated weight goal they may not have to worry as much about being able to put the power down off of corners with the FWD system...it may have a few MPH on everything by corner exit, that's all I can figure. If they don't have as much drag dedicated to…

Pretty much all of those cars are two generations old. I am talking about current gen vs last gen. Cars like the F150, 3/4 series, Q7, Aventador, F12, Miata(even though its already been discussed), c-class, cts, camry, mazda3, and the next gen A4/A5 is supposed to be lighter. Those are just a few from a few different…

Maybe he was Armenian? I hear there's some bad blood.

But here is the catch, it is pretty much impossible to actually find a manual trans equipped SS. A nationwide search on Cars.com revealed zero manual SS cars.

Hahahahaha

I have helped moderate a couple internet forums, and man did people really not understand this. Once I had to clean up a thread because some morons keyboard vomited hate all over a thread about...wait for it...brake pads. The whole thing turned into a diatribe about how things were better "back in the good ole days"…

The hostile work environment issue is indeed directly pertinent to this. And then there's the bit where Ford is not the government - the 1st amendment restricts the government from making any law that restricts speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, etc. No such restriction applies to private actors. So…

THIS RIGHT HERE. It drives me insane how few people actually understand that. You can say whatever the fuck you want! You just have to deal with the consequences of your verbal diarrhea later.

Former HR person here. Banks wasn't fired for exercising his right to free speech, he was fired for creating a hostile work environment. Michael, I'd like more clarity on this, but it sounds like the article was posted publicly within the company, and Banks then posted a comment on the article that was also posted…

Eh, he is filing an EEOC complaint saying he was discriminated and retaliated against because of a religious belief.

Reminds me of this

He wrote a hateful diatribe on a work PC and sent it to a work email address.

If your company posts a policy on its internal corporate intranet site, it might be a good idea NOT to immediately violate it, publicly, DIRECTLY BENEATH THE WRITTEN POLICY.

You are counting a lot of items in that transaction as worthless that are not... your time and labor for one. Mine is valuable to me and I choose not to spend it underneath a car. You are also completely discounting the biggest variable in buying a used car - maintenance and repairs. That's great that your e30…

The CLA, A3, etc aren't specials for the US market, they're the downmarket cars across the entire world.

I share your feelings that 200 miles is too good to be true, but factually, to make the Supercharger network function, they need everyone at that 200mi range. The chargers are set about 80-145 miles apart, ~2hours by interstate, which is a little less than the average stopping distance when road tripping for a piss…

Or even the 65 kWh battery vs. the 85. Not unheard of within Tesla itself.

Nope, the front wheels (on the LH side of the photo) are powered purely by electric motors.

That's been discussed. Two electric motors up front that allow for torque vectoring. A third electric motor in the rear power unit to help with low end torque.
