The whole burnout u-turn preceding that on a public road without taking the time to make sure there was no one coming makes him a douchebag.

Better choices in what way? Nothing is cheaper with such a huge after market that SBCs have

This sounds a lot like the kind of street racing behavior that gets innocent bystanders killed, and that Jalopnik usually takes pains to denounce.

The problem tends to be that you don’t always get a say in things crashing into you. 

That is showing a side impact test.

Except we never use Craigslist.  Kijiji for most and Lespacs in la belle province. eh.

On the flip side, the Camaro variants can already compete with a Corvette (when it comes to performance), and this makes room to make both a better Camaro without stepping on the Corvette, and a better Corvette as a Halo car.

What’s with all the Corvette bashing here? It’s almost like you people don’t like cars or something. This thing looks great, even with the wacko camo. Looks like a Ferrari, you say? Yeah, well dolphins look like sharks, too...and they both look cool.

The Corvette V8s never get credit for how good they are due to a lack of technology. The block itself is bigger but the engines are lighter and smaller in overall size compared to the competition because of their simplicity. This car doesn’t need to cost another 100k just so it’s complex for the sake of being…

Ehh, given how everyone dismisses the Ford GT out of hand for having a V6, maybe they made the right call here.

It’s a really weird take.

I don’t know if I’d go to a Jalopnik car show if I knew the writers thought they could do what they like to my car.

Are they touching it? Sitting in it? Going through the glovebox?

Kristen’s take is the right one.

Actual conversation with a friend/cow-orker when I brought my project car to work one day:

Joining Team Kristen.
If it isn’t yours, you don’t touch it (unless the owner has granted permission).

Let me put it this way: If this “you have to let me grope your car” thing becomes a thing, none of my cars will be coming to Radwood. The deal here is that I don’t grope / fondle / scratch your car, and you don’t grope / fondle / scratch mine.

Naw, touching other people’s stuff without their permission is not cool.

Don't worry. He's wrong 

wow
