I saw this run in person and it’s clear to see on the in-car footage that the car is still setup a bit too hard. This is a very bumpy track and the really fast machines are all setup quite supple to deal with the undulations, in comparison this micra bounces about like a startled rabbit. I’m sure they’ll dial it in…

I’m 100% with you, I’ve had some fun on superbikes, but in reality 130Hp I’ve decided is all I could possibly need for any occasion. When I look at the figures of the new breed of 4 cylinder motorcycles on sale today I really just shake my head. Very few riders out there are going to have the skill to use half of the…

All my quadrupedal vehicles run 16" wheels with big fat tires and that’s the way I like it. Mainly because the local idea of what constitutes a ‘road’ is very vague and I’m usually moving too fast to dodge holes.

Yeah I left foot brake, but usually it’s because I’m trying to build boost in my Nagasaki noisy boi without breaching the stall point on the converter.

My straight piped Typhoon sounds more exotic LOL

I came here to say this, the greatest challenge regarding hydrogen as a fuel for transportation is storage. This stuff leaks through solid steel, so keeping it in a tank under pressure is a very temporary storage method. The energy density of the best hydrogen storage methods in existence are pretty damn low, no one…

My e34 is named ‘Ronin’, It’s on it’s second engine and gearbox, but who’s counting? Still corners like an absolute beast.

If you’re going to rock the ‘SUV sport coupe’ thing, that bitch better haul ass! For that you’ll be needing a turbo.

Great, so I’m not the only one that cringes every time one of these videos pops up in my Youtube feed. I’m highly mechanically sympathetic, so watching all those $ and man hours get blown away in one hot minute just makes me sad. On top of this, despite being of a similar age as the Hoonigan crew members, I can’t help…

It’s relevant:

Luckily a straight piped LB4 with a turbo hanging on it sounds great. It doesn’t drone either which is a bonus.

Fake movie car sounds kinda’ grind my gears. Why go through all that ‘blending’? All I know is that when I goose the throttle on my straight piped GMC Typhoon it takes a good 20 seconds for that Garrett turbo to audibly quiet down again, but the smile on my face lasts hours, fakery not required :P

Many may not know this, but the Astro 4WD shown above uses the same transfer case as the GMC Syclone & Typhoon. For reference, here I am exploring the grip on dirt with my GMC typhoon: Rally

The issue with most of these free tow services, including those offered as part of your insurance package is the mile / cost limit attached. I know on my policy they offer towing to the value of $50. Which is all well and good, but the last time my Typhoon stranded me 30miles from home with a burned out Walbro, it…

I came here for the Jaguar XJ220 references! Also the busted Rover V8 with two cylinders lopped off myth!

I took my buddy for a burn in my mildly tuned GMC Typhoon a week ago. He was in town competing in a road sprint.

On the Syclone/Typhoon owners register we are sharpening our knives and lighting our torches!

I don’t have enough rubbing alcohol to pour into my eyes to rectify the contamination caused by this article. BTW: I am staring at 1 Quart of Isopropanol right now.

I’m with Milton, I think it looks purposeful and awesome. Ugly isn’t even the 10th word that comes to mind when I look at an mcoupe. Having never driven one I can’t even comment on the experience so this is a ‘looks alone’ assessment. Then again I’m an engineer so WTF do I know about styling?

Oh this road is magic! Hmmm, what’s that rumbling coming from the back end?
