Yep. Slow off the line, dogged in every shift up unless you hit the limiter. Looked good for the era, but sure didn't perform as expected.

Welcome to the internets and get over yourself. People obsess over of the dumbest things.

Lot's of planes cruise in this range actually and follow highways (highway patrol comes to mind) but yeah, they would need to land at airports along the way to refuel.

I was just googleing this a few weeks ago, looking for the follow up, so there is definite interest and nothing in the GPS data is really shocking given the record time they posted. However, sustaining speeds in excess 130 MPH on public highways is so blatantly irresponsible that I do get angry when I think of the…

At those speeds, some AG might get the idea that these are not just speeding violations, both qualify as something else criminally and are not limited by statute. I don't know the law, so can't say...

As per video at time code 1:11 they are using GPS and video for positioning on the track.

Thank the almighty. Hopefully some of these nerds will unload the old S's and buy the D. We need used Tesla on the market so some of us mere mortals can buy them.

I think the Miata got the best angle on the wet drift it did.

Nice! How else would you drive it there? Love that steering wheel, hand must hurt after holding wood so hard.

Clarkson is a classic British crank, a dying breed sadly. I really think he's cool in his own bodacious, bloated face way.

"Well, Lee, I just had to come and see for myself how your spending the tax payers' bailout money."

I think it's zoomed in for some reason, cropping the frame.

Yeah same. Never liked him on the Tonight Show, but I do really dig his web series. He's an authentic car nut and his collection is just the best.

'01 Miata for me - in the last 4 years, 70K virtually trouble free miles, 25 - 30 MPG depending on weight of my right foot. Now my hearing and face skin have taken a toll since I drive top down 90% if the time. I guess you can say the car has weathered better than I have - aha.

Daddy like. This would be a fun California cruiser but not at that price. That's V8 Miata (first!) territory!

Who is the dude in the light blue shirt attacking the dark suited driver? Annoying ass. I think he actually started it, since white suit hot head actually amped up when that light blue shirt dude jumped down the hill. Relax everybody, Geez.

I get the feeling that this is the SCCA's purge of long time successful SM racers by suddenly enforcing a very very grey area of the rules. This seems to happen every few years in this and other classes. But 8 cars in violation? I wonder how many they would have found if the checked the whole field. I suspect many…

I don't agree. Stewart was involved, and fair or not, he's under a microscope. What a dikk move to back up like that - playing demolition derby at the end of the race - be a bigger person. I dislike all the drivers involved in this nonsense and despise NASCAR more than ever for not getting this crap under control.…

Unfortunately, we didn't see what led up to the motorcyclist kicking the juke. Still, it's no excuse to barrel into the motorcycle like that.

My 04 V70, 155K and still drives like new. Like all Volvos of the last 20 years, seems to defy age in terms of its look.
