Frontal surface area of a 16" diameter round would be 10 times that of a 5" round, not 3.2 times. You’re forgetting that the circular shaped frontal area increases by the square of the diameter:

Also, Jason, those illustrations are excellent.  How did you do them?  How long did it take you to do them?

This here is why I Jalopnik.

Overall I think Governor Whitmer’s response has been mostly good so far, but there are plenty of areas in need of improvement. I don’t see a problem with dealerships being able to sell as needed, with transition to a nearly-all online model, to keep those who need to move moving.

That’s why they don't release the data publicly until all statues of limitation have expired. They send it to the previous record holders for verification, as previous articles on the subject have explained.

Were you inspired by our favorite “I know what I got” not-a-junkyard-proprietor in southeast Michigan for the rusty barn diorama?

I normally detest V6s (aside from the Ford GT), but this one seems really cool. Wide angle hot vee in a very rarely seen configuration, bespoke for the car, with a trick hybrid system? I’m on board. In fact, even with the crazy exterior styling, the engine seems to be the highlight to me.

Here you go:

Why does everyone constantly need reminding that this is not the first mid-engined Corvette?

I had leftover sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast this morning. I’m going to say that qualifies as a Franco-Chinese joint venture.

I knew about the M6, but I didn’t know the 650 was also available with three pedals.

Probably BMW's last mid size manual car ever.

I don’t remember that jump from Gone in 60 Seconds - I think because it looks so fake I probably tried (and succeeded) to wipe it from my memory.

Is that a rear window that rolls down into the hatch to open, like a Land Cruiser or 4Runner? She’s standing IN the hatch but there’s no other sign of it being open.

Now that is just shit luck!

This is Jalopnik. Here you imagine that the world is covered in anti-seize and you don’t want to get it on you.

The front end looks amazing on the C111/II, but the flat rear deck and vertical rear window look... not so good. It would be so much better with a liftback rear following the lines of the buttresses.

I imagine that’s some incredibly high gearing to hit 325 kph (202 mph) but only do 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 10 seconds, especially for the weight of only 1245 kg (2745 lb) and 170 kW (228 hp).
