LOL! If I had a beer, I would have spit it all over my computer.

My buddy owns a European repair shop and makes a mint off vag products. I see it firsthand. My 01 Audi TT Quattro 225 electronics, balljoints, etc. was problematic as well. They are better than they were, but I'm not going back anytime soon.
Reliability is what makes me shy away from VAG products.
Can you address this a little further? I'll try to explain this as I see it. If the car is 3700 lbs -ish but the spoiler is producing maybe 500lbs of downforce, that raises the tires coefficient of friction. So the rear tires think they have a downward force of (3700/2)+500= 2350lbs, but a total side force of…
I was merely smitten with the hostess, but quickly fell in love when she said "synchronized bouncing is essential"
Lay-dees and Gentlemen! In the left corner...a Pepboys shoplifter.....IN the right corner....Mr. Dragonvette Art Car.
Some mediocre cars, but truly the worst was the Vega...mostly because of it's Alusil block.
A high school friend had a 1.7 that his dad had purchased new. Slow, but great handling. I had a 240z and a early 260z at the time and we'd often run the cars hard through our little Nebraskan town. I'd take him in the straights, but he'd take me through the corners. The 914 was superior over bumps, dips, etc. I…
Agreed! I wonder how many times they had to put the hubcaps back on the Charger.
As a Jalop, that article is pretty funny.. I drive and race a old 2002 C5 z06 Corvette during the summer months. My daily is a Volvo wagon. I'm not balding/have e.d.,/a mullet/wear chains/satin jackets, etc. etc....but I HAVE seen guys like that that buying car simply for its brand. That is kinda pathetic and…
The engine appears to have a lot of potential. You're probably giving people all the power they need with your current product offerings, but can the present engine platform be used for the next 5 years worth of offerings?
I like the car, but I wish they would have called it a Grand Sport or something. I'm a c5z racer guy and kind of wish that they'd hold z06 for trackday cars. Ultimately, they are cheapening the z06 brand when they try to use it as equity. Same thing is happening with m3, jeep, gt3, etc. When people ask me what I…
Thanks Mark, if it's ever possible to show us the Dyno Curve, I'd like to see it. Does it allow you to be extremely digressive?
Mark, can you tell us about the Shock Valving Dampening Curves on the Multimatic Dynamic Spool Valve shocks? I know it allows a lot of fine tuning, but what were you able to do with them that you couldn't do with conventional shocks at different shock velocities?
Wow, that's my hometown. Nice work buddy!
I worked for the engine developer Cj Batten for a year and got to see many of the parts and heard the stories. Incredible machine.
James Garner was the read deal. Newman raced. Fred Dryer as well.
Burnt clutch smell should have clued him in long before the clutch exploded.
Great! All we need now is a Star trek transporter big enough to get me and my car there on weekends.
