    I drove a P100D a few years back and the fit and finish left a bit to be desired as well. It’s only a “luxury” are because people are willing to spend $100k+ on one of the things.

    It was also horrifically numb so far as driver feedback goes. Yeah, yeah, it accelerates fast, doesn’t have a lot of body roll, turn in was

    Familiarity is great and all. Good luck when one of it’s competitors at a fraction of the size (you’re exactly on it with the scale wing cars) puts it on the back of the grid. In racing, only winning maters. Engineers gonna do what they do. 

    Quickest car in the first sector. Where are your instant torque EV gods now?

    Lord Marsh? It’s the Duke of Richmond now, you uncultured Yank swine.

    Yeah, RedPir... and like I said, if you start thinking like an engineer, they won’t stay big. They won’t be quiet either because I’m guessing 2-strokes will be du jour due to the power to weight advantages at that scale. No one will bother with electric.

    Wrong reply.

    Brabham makes Lambo kit cars now.

    They are not.

    1. They are no longer the sole powertrain supplier.

    Michael Bay did a good job with that picture.

    Zero excite whatsoever. Never got the love for the original (oooooohhhh, the giant, heavy iron block doesn’t break if you spend egads of money rebuilding it into a super blown motor), and I don’t get the hype for this thing.

    Also winning races isn’t about making music for people who listen to cars more than they appreciate them competing and just going fast in general. On behalf of all engine notes comment sections bitch endlessly about: www.spotify. com

    90 degrees lowers the Cg (as the engineering gods intend) considerably over 60, while 120 is too wide to function as a stressed chassis member (as the engineering gods intend). The engine does not live in a vacuum. It’s part of a total package.

    Not the fastest way through the corner when you have traction/downforce. Look up "carrying the speed".

    What do you think is the best one out there, then?

    Haha. True. The Supra looks like an RX-7 that had an allergic reaction to multiple bee stings.

    If you think a Supra is going to run in NASCAR, you really don't know how modern NASCAR works. They're essentially 100% bespoke. 

    Also, the Ford GT is way more awesome than these other meh supercars.
