@vvaffle: They removed the upper body work for the video, not that it provided much crash protection, being mostly for aero...

I know I'm off by 1 year but, prototype countach, her curves + countach angles, oh yeah.

My 1970 911 has been on jack stands in need of a suspension overhaul and a front suspension pan since April, I will be driving it by May, I'm building a shopping list today.

Here's the spot on google maps... [maps.google.com]

Just finished the 19 page build thread, incredible. The body they got was just that, some fiberglass in a box, it flexed, it didn't fit, there were no hinges, no hardware, nothing.

Volvo drivers believe they're indestructible, and that one way street signs do not apply to them.

Deposit is being sent :) Come on bitches, I need people to pass!

@protomech: Yes, but I'd guess that most of those aren't made on the exact same production line as the regular cars... when porsche needs an RSR tub they just tell the robot to switch to seam weld mode rather than spot weld.... :)

Did they pave the road course for the 24 hours too?

I've read several reports from F1 drivers and engineers that the Pirelli's have a different shape that will require aero changes.

@AustintheBruiser: I love the 4 different sets of announcers, thats awesome...

Last lap Sebring 2008 GT2, door to door drag race after 12 hours Porsche vs. Ferrari...

@LuckyChuck asks, What's the opposite of oppositelock?:

@conebone69: There are no batteries in this hybrid system. The energy is stored in a flywheel spinning in a near vacuum. Braking generates energy to spin the flywheel up, then that energy is discharged as current into the front wheel motors.

That footage of Donohue driving the 917/30 is probably the most impressive in-car footage I have ever seen. The only thing I can think of that compares would be Senna on a qualifying run at Monaco...

Googling found this...

New 2011 Ford Fiesta in bright green metallic, my buddy loves it. Credit goes to Jalopnik and Top Gear!

@jalopnikfan: I will never understand genetics. nope.

That is f'ing badass! I love it. This appeals perfectly to my current window shopping kick: non-red mid-engined italian maintenance headaches, erm, cars.
