Great to see Honda—15 years later—finally is addressing the need for cars to have HP instead of just HP:Liter. Had they figured this out 10 years ago, perhaps the CRX, S2000, NSX and Integra would still be in production.

Exceptionally well written. Thanks both for the humor and the reminder of what it was like to ride (or park) a Panigale around Manhattan.

For a time I held the record for the highest top speed at Bonneville on a Ducati Panigale (because I was the only one who'd been there on an 1199). I think I hit at least 14 mph, maybe 15 (indicated). Phenomenally slippery. I gained an enormous respect for those who race on it (I was just passing through during a…

The video is about as "Pants Shittingly Terrifying" as a low water-pressure car wash. In real life I'm sure it would have been a.2 second "wtf" moment, but that's hardly 'terrifying', let alone 'pants-shittingly terrifying' to the driver. If it was, he wouldn't be able to do what he's doing.

That it's limited production gives me hope that I won't ever see one in person. Cleaning vomit out of a helmet is no fun at all.

I really have to give it to Infiniti for producing a car that should produce nostalgia-driven, explosive orgasms in guys who drove civics wit fiberglass body kits and sewer-tip-exhausts 20 years ago. For the rest who laughed, there's a new reason to laugh.

The real question is: how do we get Subaru or Toyota to put a motor in the GT86 that has more hp than a Camry?

Berkeley is, in fact, the WORST! Way too many bad stories about the total power-crazed Nazis who patrol the mean curbs and parking spaces of Berkeley. For being so progressive, the parking patrol officers (and some police) seem straight out of an Orwellian dystopia novel.

The video shows no behavior that would damage a normal car. But the car being driven had issues, so driving it the way they were could have very well caused serious damage. If a doctor puts a patient on a treadmill, no big deal. If that patient could have a fractured femur...may want to do an x-ray first.

Looks to me like understeer got him. Front tires were squealing like crazy all the way through the corner, then caught traction, which had the unfortunate effect of both oversteer and oversteering. Anyone who's raced is especially prone to this mistake when jumping into a car for a hot lap.

Perhaps you should consider selling cars.

A few of my favorites:

Out of curiosity, how much "horsepower" would a .45 ACP have, properly geared or not?

Thinking you need to be rich to travel the world is just a convenient excuse for not doing it. One of the best travel trips I read about was a guy who rode a motor scooter from Australia to London. He didn't have much cash, but did have a $700 limit on his credit card. Where there's a will....

My theory? They drove all around California, but failed to achieve their objective of having even a single spy photo taken. So they Foursquare-stalked a bunch of Porsche fans @ Santana Row in SJ and @ the Embarcadero in SF., but even die hards didn't notice or didn't care about the subtle changes. In Palo Alto,…

0-60 in an STi is 5.6 seconds? That's remarkably slower than a 2003. Good to see Subaru is all about keeping resale values up.
