Probably easier (though not necessarily cheaper) to drive it across the Pacific.

Monthly budget, not payment, as in he knows how expensive it is to keep a used V12 supercar running, and has budgeted for this.

1951 Ferrari 225 S for a mere €4,500,000.

You’ve got a little less than 4 weeks left to organise a Porsche/BMW/Abarth/... press car and plane tickets. Sounds feasible, right?

Who’s the Jalop ambassador to Europe, so we can start spamming him/her to join the Europpotrip?

Re: the race distance. Yeah, no. The Porsche weighs about 200 kg more, and more weight = more energy into the tyres = accelerated wear.
Disregarding that, if we assume the P1's tyres last for 45 minutes/7 laps and a pitstop takes 2 minutes, the P1 would complete 204 laps in 24 hours. To match this, a 918 would have to…

Unless they have a sense of self-preservation. Then again, they wouldn’t own an MR2 in that case.

MR2, any generation. First gen for the wedge, second for its power, third for its agility (though she’d need a hardtop or rollbar for the upside down thing).

NSF platform, so probably not enough room for the EA888. As it’s a turbo engine, it shouldn’t take a lot of effort to extract 130-140 hp out of it though.

Now we wait for the RAMcat and RAM Demon (Ramon?).

FINALLY.

Driver went over the speed limit, train crashed. What more do you need?

The crash has been attributed to the driver, who accelerated through a speed limit. They didn’t need any camera to come to that conclusion. The ones clamouring for cameras to be installed, are the lawyers of the victims, who just lost a fat paycheck.

Because American railroads are stuck in the 19th century. Cameras in driver cabs won’t change a thing, they just make it easier to blame the driver. If you want to stop crashes from happening, you invest in additional safety systems and semi-automatic train control.

Seeing how more people die due to inattentive drivers than in any mass transit system, I’d wager it makes more sense to start equipping every single car first.

Standard practice on buses, aimed at the passengers, yes. We should trust people to do their job the way they’re trained to do. There are already enough measures in place to verify what happened after a crash (CVR and data recorder in planes, data recorders for all driver inputs, safety systems and dead man pedal in…

I’m guessing you’re also in favour of installing a camera in/on every plane, ship, car, truck, motorbike, bicycle, ...?

Afaik they are built from the ground up, using the bodyshell from the car it’s based on. So I guess you could send a bog standard Fiesta to them, but they’ll start off by gutting it, so you might as well buy a finished one.

They’re based on production cars, but in practice they’re bought off-the-shelf from the likes of M-Sport. You’d be looking at R2B or R2C if you want to do the conversion yourself (with a manufacturer supplied kit).
