Generally? Yes. The most efficient design for speed is something like an F1 car and the most efficient for moving things is something like a van. The designs are somewhat opposites in concept ;)

I had an 04 AP2. They are great cars, but for 8k you won't be getting the good one. That will be a branded title or seriously neglected S2k.... since a dealer will give them more than that on trade if it's in decent shape.

There are lots of great cars, but simply because someone listed a Cadillac, I decided to endorse the SL55 AMG. Can now be had for mid $20,000 range...

Let me answer your question with a question, why would they completely re-engineer a car when the goal is to have the same model just with less inside? It's a Track Edition, not the Costco Edition.

This isn't a "ZEBRA" crossing. The most similar to an Australian regulatory device would be a "PELICAN" crossing. It has regulatory signals on the sides and is at an intersection with regulatory lights, but not on a dynamically changing time table such as with a "PUFFIN".

Are you insane look at the poles, they clearly have regulatory signals? No country I know of with traffic regulatory lights allows for superconducting authority to pedestrians. If you cross against a regulatory device, you are essentially a pedestrian running a red light, it's one step higher than basic jay walking…

How can you declare something "childish" simply because you don't like it? I personally don't have interest in drifting simply because it's too much like figure skating for me (ranking system/points system is purely subjective), but that doesn't mean I hate on it without cause.

Fire being hot does not require that one actually touch fire... everyone is free to choose to learn their own way, but they should understand the risks.

You mean other than all the movies and video games that use them?

How do you know the company selling the kit car doesn't already pay a royalty to Ferrari? The way I see it, if they aren't representing the car as a true FXX (either simply omitting what it is or actually saying it's a kit), then Ferrari really has a beef with the company making the kit.

How exactly am I attempting to control you on public forum? Do you often feel people are watching and outside forces seeming unrelated to your daily activities are oppressing or in some way victimizing you?

I don't see what relevance it would have. If the GT-R was traveling the other direction and was hit, it doesn't matter if it was doing 5 MPH or 500 MPH. The pertinent facts are easily gleamed from the fact one car deviated and caused the collision. You could argue the need to examine whatever datalogger the Lambo may…

You seem to have serious emotional issues. If you are a teenager it is probably within the norm, however, you may want to seek help otherwise.

Anyone can behave how they wish but the consequences also belong to them. Don't try to seek pity for making a decision knowing it is incorrect, after all, that is the fundamental difference between ignorance and stupidity.

This is so unbelievably stupid I will almost certainly be watching it after a few shots of Jack... curse you mesmerizing explosions, awesome cars, and hot girls. Every time I watch a F&F movie I leave feeling dirty for being sucked in to the insane physics and impossibly implausible plot components, but still go back…

As a guy I honestly can't understand this. Standards are important. Set some, and carry them around on a freaking post-it note if need be. Along with having minimal requirements to date, have instant disqualification rules. As soon as the guy fails to meet the basic criteria or violated one of the instant…

Just like it takes money to go fast, it takes money to take abuse. This is the typically citybilly who built a truck to do something it was never intended to do, with no engineering behind it. That's a seriously heavy vehicle coming down on way too over extended suspension components. The entire vehicle was an…

The problem is weight. Have you ever tried to slip a clutch to start a heavy car with too little power down low? Not fun. Even light weight F1 cars stall easily without sufficient revs (and typically a burn out). The C6 is a pretty heavy beast in the world of performance (even the Z06 is over 3,100lbs if I remember…

Balance, durability, weight savings, destruction point, etc. There are a lot of reasons people make changes like this, so without knowing the details of application it's really hard to guess. The typical is cars that spend their time at high revs for long periods of time (race cars/drift cars) it makes for a much…

I swapped from 6 to 4 with boost with my latest 240Z build. Simple math made it made sense. The aluminum 4 cylinder with factory turbo made more power stock, had more head room for lower cost, and removed a lot of weight.
