I don't see what would be so bad about saying that it has a 700 hp (turbocharged/supercharged/na) V8. Why can't any of these fly-by-night operations just sell the car on the truth?

Have you ever seen a Blackhawk II in person though? They're insane.

In hindsight, it is a pretty sleek design for its era. If it had been made by Cadillac, Lincoln, or Chrysler it would've blown the rest of their line and the competition out of the water, stylistically. The biggest problem is just that we, as enthusiasts, know its roots, and have a hard time reconciling that. If this…

I love how everybody's saying Mercedes copied the design, but nobody is giving the same examples that it was copied from.

Honestly, and it really pains me to say this, it's not that bad.

Hey there, Mr. Torchinsky, can I get un-greyed somehow?

Pretty sure Matt-a-tat-tat was saying he'd like a Jag F-Type R convertible. AFAIK there isn't one of those. (The beautiful red one here is a V8 S.)

If my old 928 would, I see no reason why this new Beetle wouldn't.

That is a fantastic shape.

Haha, I get it.

Why so Sirius? (Sorry...)

WTH, that's all it takes?

So, what you're saying is... there is a place in Detroit where we can just go and get free boats?

There's so much "traditional" crap in that car that it should have its own Charlie Brown special. Who was that video made for, anyhow?

GG, time to just admit you were wrong and move on. Don't try to double down, it isn't working. You might be intelligent and well-versed in other topics, but you're outnumbered here.

Reatta, not Riviera.

I thought it was awesome until I saw how poorly it was made.

Seems like the author might be confused about composite vs. component, and which RCA-style connectors carry what signals among the two.

From an engineering standpoint, Project Pluto was certainly impressive, and pushed the absolute limits of the technology of the time. The reactor that powered the missile was one of the smallest, lightest ever built — partially achieved by eliminating almost anything that had to do with such candy-assed ideas as…

Exactly. Let's boycott non-car-people together.
