@mr_dude hates this f*cking meme: As an aside, part of why I watch motorsports is for the crashes. Just the way a F1 car comes apart during a big accident is a thing a beauty. Or when you see a crazy accident and the driver is able to walk away, you really see the engineering behind these cars. Going fast really…

@Alfisted: The real Planeopknik is located at Paine Field, that is where the Museum of Flight's restoration center is located. Not only is it free, but you get to just wander around these planes and other awesome things in a state of dis-repair allowing you a peak at the inner workings of these machines. They have…

The "DANGER" warnings on that aircraft are totally inadequate for an aircraft of that that level of awesomeness. It should be covered Danger warnings in much larger font. Also a small speaker should be added to the cockpit that constantly announces danger and it should only stop when the plane has crashed and burned…

I have never understood why people think taxing displacement is a good idea. It seems that they want to improve fuel economy, but for some reason they want to tax displacement to achieve this. Is anyone else utterly confused by this?

@Cognitive Friction: What is happening is that they will not be developing any more SS models. They will continue to build any SS models already developed.

The shocking thing is that the Cobalt SS is only 3 seconds slower (8:22). Somebody made a deal with the devil to make that car as quick as it is.

That V6 is a beast of an engine. 300hp with regular gasoline with that sort of economy is great. The 6 speeds in the Camaro probably contribute to the numbers versus the mustang.

260kgs lighter than an SLR? That is impressive.

Are you try to suggest that the roll center will be outside of the cars track? Because with both sides being symetric like that, the roll center will be within the track of the car. The question then becomes the height compared to the cg of the car. It looks like the roll center would be pretty high for that…

@UnlimitedRevs: BMW only sourced some of their auto-matic transmissions from GM. For awhile they used a 5 speed auto by GM while all the GM cars had a 4 speed version.

@porscheman: Thanks, I had never heard this story before. I knew they had an ultima with they chevy engine. I had also never heard Senna drove the car.

@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: The styling is hardly superficial. Truck manufactures are constantly competing to improve the fuel economy, so the ability to make models to test in a wind tunnel are important. Also the people buying the trucks care about the style, so having full size models helps…

@skitter: Of course, but what does that have to do with cars?

@my favorite car is a motorcycle: The F1 did have active underbody down force in the form of a pair of fans that sucked air out from under the car. Even then the car was designed to have very little downforce. This was because it was designed as a road car and not a race car. Underbody aerodynamics are very…

No questions asked the greatest supercar ever made. I mean any car designed to drive from London to the South of France in comfort and then winning Le Mans the first time out, is un-paralleled.

@Cristian Constantinescu: Are you advocating jet packs? Because that would be awesome.

@Triborough: I shudder at the thought somebody thought that was a good idea.

@milo_carrera—fighting the good fight: "Money problems are minor compared to concept problems."

If only they had built more hybrids instead of gas guzzling SUV and Trucks.

This, global warming, extinction of the dodo bird, and popped colors can be blamed on GM's reliance on pushrod motors. Imagine if crane cams would sell 4 cams to Chevy hot rodders instead of the lonely one, 4 times the profit.
