A few years ago, Speed covered the race. They sent Mike Joy and Darrell Waltrip to cover the race. While the race was over the top cool, Darrell Waltrip's NASCAR voice ruined it. Boogity-Boogity or something like that.

Well, I must be the polar opposite of Ralph Lauren. I have a small, two car garage where I spend much of my time in the summer. [My own personal dog house for those who want to know]. There I spend quality time with my cars, waxing and caressing them. If I had ANY of RL's cars, I would hug it, kiss it and call it…

Honestly Kat, you sound more like a Conservative than a Social Democrat. Much of what you said are Conservative values. Mind you, I did not say Republican. If there is such a thing as a social Conservative, color me that.

At the 2014 event at Milton Keynes, Daniel's sled easily passed Vettel's sled. In fact, Vettel's sled parked mid hill and was out of action. Upon returning back to the top of the hill, Vettel considered quitting sledding until he was given a red sled.

Well, given the number of attacks I have had on me the last day or so, I suppose I am up to my ears in dung. I am a dreamer, no doubt. Worse, I don't have the money to fulfill my dreams. But, if you think about it, Carroll Shelby was a dreamer and a chicken farmer with no money to start out with. I am sure that he…

I want to add that the Cobra recipe does not mean that the chassis has to be an AC Cobra and the motor a Ford OHV V8. Think about other cars that used it to a degree of success: Bill Thomas had that lovely Cobra killer called the Cheetah with a Chevy small block in it. In the early 1950s, Cadillac V8s were put into…

Now you are talking!

I hope that Indycar can pull off a race at COTA. It is a natural for them to run there. The major issues as pointed out are:

OK, I got the message. Umm, several others have pointed that out. I merely described what I saw and heard back in 1986. At the time, I was very unfamiliar with the C5A. But, let's all jump 0n the bandwagon and bash someone over the head just because I made a technical mistake in what I said.

I would love to see a Ford 5.0, but I wonder if the heads are too wide for the Miata?

Talk about trolls, you got that nailed down perfectly. I walked into nothing. Just called out your stupidity. BTW, the C17 uses reverse thrust for steep descents. Maybe you should stick to non-aviation discussions. Buh bye moron.

OK shithead, I will discuss WWI, WWII, Korean war and Vietnam War planes with you all day. Then maybe you might want to stick to something non-aviation related. The arrogance of some people...

Somehow in the air, the C5A seems to dwarf the 747. Obviously I made the analogy just to emphasize how big a C5A really is. I never thought that anybody would take me seriously. It has gotten to the point on Jalopnik where ever t has to be crossed and i dotted to please everyone.

True that. But, the company said they would use an LS3.

Really? And you are so smart? Gee Einstein, how long did it take you to become the world's biggest smartass?

Sunbeam Tigers usually had 260 cubic inch Ford V8s. Some had 289s. An LS3 would make the car a modern day Cobra equivalent.

Where does this site dredge up people like you? Seriously, strain at a gnat and swallow a camel If you don't like my analogies, then don't reply to me. Pinheads...

Holy smokes, this is not a reply but rather an essay.

I will never forget when I was working in Minneapolis near Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. There is a National Guard base there. One hot, muggy day, I heard this enormous roar, a roar so loud that I thought the building was going to shake apart. The windows were open as there was no air conditioning. I ran…

Really, the new Miata with a V8 would make perfect sense and be a kind of modern day AC Shelby Cobra. The recipe is still the same. Mix one high horsepower and torque V8 to a lightweight chassis and voila, instant 2016 Cobra!
