I dunno, I track 550 hp in my Viper and have a blast.  Modulating the throttle around the corner is half the fun.  Getting to see just how far I can push it vs just leaving it on the floor all the way around the track (this is hyperbole, but I think you get my point).  I like trying to always better my best lap time.

It’s genuinely surprising when you see the 2 directly next to each other. Here’s the 919 and 911 next to each other for size comparison.

Jag designers call it the “Tardis,” which I believe is a Star Trek reference.

He won that first turn by a nose.

Yea years from now the lower power car will be allowed mods to run in Spec :) It is like the 1.6 vs. the 1.8 all over again!

Lebron: “3 seed, 4 seed, Johnny Appleseed, Joel Embiid. Don’t matter. Cavs in 6.”

I think every car manufacturer looks at the GT86, which does what every keyboard warrior wanted it to do, then sold like shit, and decided ‘lets make another SUV.’

Yep yep. Restore a 356 with parts from donor cars but swap in the numbers from this rust heap and call it “numbers matching”.

You mean build a kit and register it with a factory VIN. THATS where the value is. $6500 for the factory VIN is probably a good deal.

“Ran when parked. No low ballers, tire-kickers, or joy-riders, I know what I’ve got.”

“Clean title . . . good numbers . . .”

There’s only so much testing that can be done in a controlled environment. At a certain point, you have to put things on the road and test them in the real world.

I have a similar mystery! A few years back I started working out with a friend, and we did lots of squats and strength training through the winter. When spring approached she wanted to try running, so we both signed up for a 5K. I was flabbergasted when I realized I took three minutes off my PR that day!

What does it benefit a dealer to send an itemized quote via email?

Thats when you email back and say that you can’t come in to get a price quote on privacy concerns. Once they have seen your face they know who you are and can leverage that information to their advantage and that you aren’t falling for their ruse.

I like how you point out that the engine is bulletproof while not refuting his claim that the car is unreliable.
