GM has earned back my respect simply for attempting this awesomeness. It’s a brilliant way to stand out when every other high performance 2 seater seems to be going turbo. Seriously, how many new engines have been released in the past few years for a single model or trim level? Manufacturers used to do this far more

It sucks that people spend 60k+ with some of the world’s oldest automakers and you’re expected to modify the car to use it as intended. At the same time, it’s a miracle that Ford made the Voodoo motor to begin with.

No one does flat crank V8's for front engine cars for a reason. I say that as a former GT350 owner. Mine was smooth north of 4K, but I compare that to my 02 explorer V8 which is smooth everywhere. The C8 being mid engine won’t care anywhere near as much about smoothness

I am always happy to criticize the NYPD and have attended many a protest in my lifetime, but facts matter in a story like this and it does a disservice not to include more information. There is record of the person involved vandalizing public safety cameras around the city. Now, we might try out the rhetoric that

Yeah this is nuts.

Despite NYPD’s claims, the videos posted of the event show no bottles or rocks being thrown as these men snatched up the protester and hustled her into an unmarked minivan, though clearly marked cops on Trek-brand bikes can be seen maintaining a perimeter around the kidnapping

Wait are we really not going to use this opportunity to address that the abortion rate is far greater in the black community. Isn’t that what this movement is all about. Addressing systemic inequalities. Blacks are totally targeted for abortions and the numbers prove it.

I think many people are that same train of thought.

i think he did it his self or one of his team members did it...either way he knows who did it and now is all about the spot light being the only black NASCAR driver...this is coming from a black guy by the way

Hey, at least you took the time to read a counterpoint to Justin’s not so well balanced article.

Sure, and that’s why they targeted media vehicles specifically.

Oh, Justin.

Federal oversight would be a joke. Unions gave $400,000,000 to Obama in a single campaign. I’m sure they’ll grease the palms of anybody that is necessary to stay in control.

Most jurisdictions consider the obstruction of traffic an illegal activity and have developed rules to prosecute those who block, obstruct, impede, or otherwise interfere with the normal flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic upon a public street or highway.
GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD.

So now what, just let them attack your family? That's fucking retarded.

That’s fucking dumb. Should he just sit there and let them tear into his vehicle and family? Once the group think hits the level of a riot, all of that level-headedness that you seem to think is going on there goes away. I would love to see you just sit there and not try and protect your family. What kind of a person

What a stretch... Burn down any mom and pop businesses tonight for the cause Goob?

Oh fuck off asshole. people start breaking out my windows, damaging the vehicle, I’ll do what I have to in order to put distance between myself and the assholes.

Oh I’m sorry, I forgot the rules. If rioters want to hurt you, destory your property, or burn down your business, it is only polite to give them free reign and let them have their way with you. Anything less is somehow supporting some cop in another state.

Well said. The cops you mentioned need to be fired and tried.
The mobs, though, have moved beyond the “protest” stage at this point. At best, they’re taking advantage of a situation to harm people who had nothing to do with what they’re supposedly angry about. At worst, they’re purposefully inciting civil unrest.
