How does it compare in its class? Slightly cheaper Ats, or overpriced compared to the new 200? How is the awd?

A grand prix car would win easily. Sure on paper you would think there would be some kind of compatibility, but we are comparing a highly restricted spec car, to bespoke creations which are developed race to race. Current spec F1 cars are putting down lap times comparable to records set when the cars had V-10's and…

Krohn is in the amateur class, and is a total wanker in terms of driving skill. His cars are competitive only when he is not in the car himself.

My CD player works just fine, what is this new fangled iPod you speak of... Apple, Microsoft, and Google will quickly gain marketshare in this space, making BMW and other proprietary systems look obselete almost instantly. I hope that in time the architecture becomes open enough to the point where the on board…

For that kind of money, he could have bought a proper Formula Ford, hell even a vintage F3 car, and paid all the import fees. This thing looks like a death trap.

The displacement of the outgoing F1 V8's is 2.4L. Max horsepower is much closer to 800hp, not 900hp. If we were back in the days of 3.0L V10's, that number would be a bit more accurate, but not under the current rules. Also, the top speed of an LMP1 car is greatly exagerated. Back in the Group C days, a prototype…

Gil, you still hold the record of being the fastest man to ever run on a closed course, during a sanctioned race weekend. Firstly, do you think that this record will be broken in your lifetime? Running nearly 1,000hp in that Honda V8, and even with the drag produced by the Hanford device, you were able to go 241,…

The oldest iPad is less than 3 years old... people are getting out of control with these update cycles. How can a portable device be an end all be all device one day, and be relegated to being a picture frame the next?

They are going a ton faster with less power, mainly due to tire development and mechanical grip. Truly incredible.

I guess this is the opposite of flying journalists out to a remote tropical island, wining and dining them, and then placing them in a fresh test car with Michelin pilots on all 4 corners. Refreshing...

I think this goes to greater point about how expensive smartphones are to own. I see absolutely no difference between a $100 and a $200 smartphone, when you are paying over $2,000 during the life of the contract. If you are getting robbed by a telco, you might as well get the phone that is most heavily subsidized (the…

Pineapple Head won the Cart title in 97' and 98'. Jeemy won in 96'. Zanardi is one of my heroes, and I don't say it lightly. Read his book if you have a chance, one of the most humble and inspiring people I've ever known of.

Well said @Boxerfanatic. It looks like a nice enough iteration, surely better fit and finish than the C6, but it is an evolutionary design. GM played it safe, didn't want to offend any long time customers, and you got some LED bling and Viper like bodywork. I'm sure it will sell pretty well, it will look good on the…

The RT tablet is not successful because the iPad and the various Android tablets already do what it does, it isn't a novel product. Also, Windows RT is a nascent operating system that is just now growing. The Pro tablet enters a territory that Windows tablets have dominated in the past, and that is a full featured…

Honda has rested on its laurels, end of story. I don't find any of the recent Civic models to be offensive or terrible, just run of the mill. Hyundai, Mazda, and now the big 3 have stepped up their game. Compact cars have come a long way in the past decade, they use to just be low priced shitboxes, with the Civic…

I am intrigued by the dichotomy of how music, via services such as Rdio, Spotify, Rhapsody, and others, are switching users on to an all you can eat subscription model, while many in the tech world want cable to be an al la carte service. The fact is people just want a cheaper option. Cable is expensive because…

A rock band/classical orchestra known for modern takes on holiday and classical music.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is as about relevant to American passenger travel as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Sure they can probably make a set top box that can do these things, but what really stops them from building tv's? They have dominance when it comes to supply chain. One phone call and they can circle the wagons in terms of glass and aluminum, which could probably squeeze out some of the competitors that are already…

A beautiful rail line that was built in the 20th century, a good example of what I am talking about. Thanks.
