@layabout: So Clarkson may be exaggerating about something?

@layabout: A stripped out racer for the road that has none of the practicality of the vette and costs twice as much is faster around the top gear course. Wow, that is amazing. Obviously the vette is worthless.

So Porsche decided to become an internet troll.

@d3c509b: In the same sense that someone finishing 20th in a race is one of the first finishers, yes. Half the F1 teams have rolling road wind tunnels, lots of manufactures, and there are even private facilities that you your self could rent.

At first I thought the volt worked in the following way:

@Slideways: The Ford GT was never a Lola design. It was an Eric Broadley, the owner and founder I believe, of Lola at the time. So it was never a Lola project, but a Broadley project.

@jduffy13: One English guy at work drives a new Chevy Impala, which I can only assume was bought on some sort of dare. I knew a couple english people growing up that drove american minivans, but that is probably forgivable.

I call shenanigans, evil shenanigans, which are not really shenanigans at all.

@c0de: Baffles increase drag, so my comments is like attaching paper cups to your body.

@Laxfalcon246: It does not have the same drag as a paper cup, unless this is some paper cup with the same frontal area as the aptera. It has the same drag coefficient as one, very important difference. If not most cars would have a 30% increase in drag by attaching a paper cup to the side of a car, obviously that is…

@KinOfCain: Except as stated, this is a new method. Maybe it uses the auto box to stop the engine at the precise point? Or if you are quick enough you may force the engine to try and start with first gear engaged and the clutch engaged, the engine probably does not have lots of power at 0 rpm (unlike the starter…

I find this study highly dubious. I spend most of my time in bars making car sounds and no women will talk to me.
