Drive that to the grocery store and tell me it’s the same thing. 

This is so Rad.  I can’t wait to see that sweet, leather interior.

Having driven a few Ferraris and a few Miatas, the Miata is more fun. 

and a “push-button controlled” 8-speed transmission...

Mmmmmm increasing slaloms.....

As a course worker you’re a dick. As a driver I would giggle.

It’s something you see in drifting. The best drivers almost look bored. 

The fact the Miata/BRZ/etc crowd demolishes more expensive muscle cars these people keep bringing to autocross events never stops being satisfying. Guy around here has a GT86 that’s in the dealer-only options class, annihilated some guy in a Shelby Mustang and his friend in a C7 that thought they came for easy…

A slalom of more than 10-12 cones will bring mutiny at most autocross events!

While this is the car they lent to Road & Track, Chloe had almost no wheel time in anything bigger than a go cart. She apparently had minimal practice time in a car to prep for the run.

Power has very little to do with it. Something us Miata/BRZ/etc... fans have been trying to tell the Hellcat crowd for years now.

Agreed, she must be one of those rare people who can tell to within a fraction of an inch where the tire/body of the car on the opposite side of the driver is in relation to the cones, which no doubt contributed to the record. And likely due to honing her skills in karts. Good on her, and best of luck in the future.

Difficult tasks often look effortless, when they’re perfectly executed. There’s an elegant economy of motion here, every weave executed exactly the same as the last.

Jesus Christ let her have her moment. 

Congrats to Porsche for finding a record that nobody bothered to break, I guess? Good marketing. Nothing against Chloe, but if a completely stock 718 Spyder is setting the world record for fastest ever slalom in a car...nobody else has been seriously trying.

Somebody go grab an Ariel Atom on slicks and crush this…

Obvious answer is obvious. 

Are you advocating everyone wear a helmet in convertibles, everyone wear a helmet when changing lanes or just being pissy for the sake of it?

When I went to SEMA last year, I saw what GM and Ford had to offer on the EV side of things.

I was pretty stoked to see what GM might do with their “off the shelf” conversion stuff.  The E10 pickup was neat, and I’d been told they were working on a better modular setup to replace existing fuel tanks and stuff.  Which…

At least .25 miles confirmed so far.
