Well said. A generation today that majors on minors and minors on majors. I wonder how all the armchair barristers out there feel about the Taliban killing over 130 children or the North Korean hack of Sony? As you said, the run was weak ass and hardly worth all the venom that was spewed out because of it.

In 1971, Brock Yates and Dan Gurney drove a Kirk F. White Ferrari Daytona from New York to Redondo Beach California in record time. They generally cruised around 100 mph and hit 172 once. Funny, but at the time, they were celebrated and heralded for their incredible effort by car enthusiasts and car oriented media.…

I should have also added that I would just love to tweek his cheek!

Glorious leader sure looks like a cute, cuddly, teddy bear, doesn't he? Couldn't you just hug him and caress him? And, wouldn't it be a grand idea to market little Kim Jung Un teddy bears for Christmas? The teddy bear could even have an inflatable stomach to make it grow larger as the glorious leader continues to…

Here is a Subaru 2001 WRC car:

Excellent post and one I concur with 100%. The P2 cars got screwed with the BOP. Added weight and only using Continentals hurt P2. FWIW, I really never was into the Rolex Series and DP cars. Until the Corvette DPs came along, I thought the cars were hideously ugly. I was into ALMS and the P1/P2 cars though. They were…

Nope. Petter won the WRC in 2003. Hmm, you are off by two years. Look at the car as well.

Hey, better than KKK, or Kuhnle Kopp and Kausch, a company that built turbos. I had an Al Holbert Porsche 934 t-shirt with KKK on the front and his 934 on the back. People would look at me in the strangest way...

No Happy Chanukah well wishing? Sigh...

There must be something wrong with me. I actually do not like to be swaddled and coddled. Call me a minimalist or masochist, but in the 1960s, my perfect car was a 427 Cobra. A Corvette and Camaro were too big and heavy and had too much comfort. Then, I discovered Lotus and understood that less is more. Dream car was…

Hope the Cruise ship business works out better than the F1 car:

True that, but for one magical year, we lived in Camelot...

I love Petter Solberg. Now, if Peter were back in a Subaru, all would be right with the world.

It figures...

I can only imagine what 24 Hercs sound like taking off. We have 3 at our nearby Guard base and when they fly over, the ground shakes. Once, back in the mid 80s, A C5A came in on final approach over a building I was in with open windows and which is close to the Air Guard base . I have never, ever heard such a shriek…

I am not even sure why you gave me crap regarding my comment that the new DPs are a quantum leap over the old ones, both in looks and performance. I gave you stats that showed the 2014 DPs were faster than the 2013 DPs. The discussion never should have gone tangential to P2 cars. Guess you just like to argue, right?

Chew on this for awhile: Gainsco DP Corvette in 2013 did a 2:00.179 for the pole. The Taylor brothers while qualifying second, did a 1:58.643. I could do other comparisons, but you get the drift. And, not to make you choke, but in 2013 at the joint Rolex/ALMS race, the fastest DP car was a 2:00.028 while the best P2…

How do you figure? The DPs are faster than the P2s and the P2s were much faster than the DPs before the series merged. Your sarcasm sucks big time.

The first Corvette DP was a quantum leap over the mentioned ugly DP cars. But, this one really knocks it out of the park. Looks like DP is the way to go rather than a P2 car. Still, both the DPs and P2 cars are way behind the LMP1 cars like the Audi, Porsche and Toyota.

Absolutely brilliant idea. Most people would write it off as a shark. However, what happens when it meets Jaws?
