That was the CLR, the earlier version of the CLK. But man they looked awesome! Flattest coupe I’ve ever seen.

It was a soaring advertisement for Mobil 1!

I would have to say the CLK GTR space race program (and the Porsche space program in comparison)

The Deltawing has to be right up there. It started life as a rejected design for the new Indycar and somehow found its way over to sportcars. It got ditched by Nissan after a year(much like the GT-R LM) but continued in private hands. It’s shown some speed but the car can’t seem to last a race distance. After 3 years…

I understand that logic, but different cars are about different things. My ‘92 Miata (nor the ND really) isn’t winning any straight line acceleration contests, but they were never meant to. If someone in a V6 Camry try’s to follow me on some backroads they will under-steer off the road and into a tree. So in theory my…

You get over it pretty quickly. Especially when you’re redlining 2nd without giving a shit about how much gas you’re using or worrying about stressing out the drivetrain. Once you stop caring about winning stoplight races, its alllll bliss. You don’t need more acceleration power when you’re already going fast, you…

You mean besides the 2J? Cause its the 2J

Orrrr he admired the guy growing up, knew him, got racing advice from him, and - combined with his desire to know who his father is - was motivated to keep searching for the truth.

Glad it turned out he was right. I remember the Naggy Vaginas from the last article, talking about how he’s just doing this to get money.

Kinda-sorta with you. There have been a couple of these sold on for about $15-17K, on LS1tech, with the big price boosters being AC connection, gauge function, and cruise control (which all seem to be there on this one). The reverse gear popping out mentioned gives me pause, as the T56 is the most expensive single…

STP got back together, and I was happy, but only if they could get an album out as I’m not a concertgoer. Saw their greatest hits set in 2000 anyway. They did get an album out, where the rest of the band put instrumentals together in one studio, sent them to Weiland in another studio who slapped vocals on top. No…

I am all for big V8s but somehow this seems contrary to the spirit of the i8 which seems to be about producing that level of performance in a different (more responsible?) way.

The guy never had kids, only married women older or younger than him, and was reportedly quite liked fitness, which is all sort of 1920s code for him being gay.

I saw that too, did some decent damage to the Ram it slid into and destroyed itself in the process.
