The CL TSX/Accord was also the last generation of Accord ever to get the Type-R treatment. I remember more than a few outlets back in the day were comparing these favorably against the BMW 3-series, which was high praise indeed.

On a related note, a lot of Sherman detractors claim that it took 5 of these to take out a single German Tiger. The thing is, that “5" number comes from the fact that these were deployed in platoons of 5, so whenever these would come across a Tiger, there’d be 5 of them on that Tiger, which didn’t come in similar…

Not a single Integra?

Wasn’t their engineer fired because he was pointing out a number of safety issues?

They’re probably going with global sales to support their argument, since PS3 did much better outside the US and outsold the 360 in some markets.

That’s it, pack it up, Maxxuman’s won the thread.

Was thinking of this same Jason Cammisa video as well.

After shocking everyone with a win at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mazda was rewarded in the way the FIA typically rewards winners: by having its key technology banned.

Merc execs probably have too many bad memories of Michigan roads, hence them only sending the All-Terrain version over.

I was wondering why that car in the lead image looked too big for a kei car.

Been a fan ever since Noriyaro started using one on his drift videos.

They’re obviously saving 60fps for the upcoming Xbox Series XL.

The wings are Boeing, but the rest of the plans is old McDonnel-Douglas, specifically an MD-90.

I believe they’re mounted over the wings to create more cabin space by moving the structural hardware needed to support the engines to the wings, instead of on the fuselage, like with most small jets with low mount wings.

It’s not actually that big a plane, the X-66 is built on an old MD-90 airframe, which is a narrow-body airliner.

The amount of savings on fuel that even just a single digit increase in efficiency should be enough to get airlines on board.

The tail looks huge and the stabilizers are high due to the base for the plane, which is an old MD-90

This is the answer (or at least, a significant part of it). Newey studied ground effect in university, during the height of its use in motorsports in the 80s, so he’s likely much more familiar with it than most others on the grid.

There’s also the fact that the Z-Tune was only available in markets where the R34 was sold, whereas the M3 GTR was sold in the US since it’s an ALMS homologation special, so that’s bound to drive the price up over there.

Interesting, from what I’ve been told and some research on my own, bidding for who gets to sell tickets is based on who can provide the highest returns to the venue. Ticketmaster’s model is based on turning ticketing, which used to be a cost center, into a profit center via service fees. As such, for any other company…
