Could it have been saved? A little less countersteer, a little faster getting the wheel back into the turn? I don't want to pick at what you did because I've spun too, I just want to see every in-car reaction as a potential lesson learned.

Let's all take a second to remember that improved efficiency, speed, and overstaffing like this all come at a cost to safety.

My boss saw one of these over the weekend and we all spent about half an hour figuring out what it was. He didn't take a photo and said only "four door sportscar with an emblem that looked like this". The Fisker had the wrong emblem but I looked at Fisker modifications and whammo, there it was!

I was looking at secondary vibrations today, and it's important to understand where they come from. I even made an animation in autocad to help understand it!

Uhhhh no. The fault always lies with the person committing the crime, not the person upon whom the crime was committed.

This may be the most unpopular opinion.

I do this for a living. Trust me when I say that there's very little planning involved—the contractors are usually flying by the seat of their pants, and the equipment vendors probably delivered plenty of broken or incomplete parts.

Ah the Audi R8. Always good, but always in the shadow of the Gallardo.

I'm sorry but I have to say it: The sound of a cross-plane V8 is just so pedestrian. Maybe I'm just too used to hearing un-muffled exhausts on big trucks, mustangs and camaros, but if you played this engine note to me and told me it was Toyota's 2016 TRD Tundra, I'd probably believe you.

I have an SC that I track, and sure I've had to replace some things and these things cost money, but everything I've done has been relatively easy to replace and the car as a whole is very easy to work on.

This is actually what I recall being taught in defensive driving. Slam on the brakes and move your car towards the shoulder. There's a very good chance that the person turning in front of you might realize their mistake and stop dead, in which case you would smack into them head on if you swerved to their rear instead…

Why not go the spec 944 route and dyno cars after the race? More than 140hp/lb-ft at the wheels? DQ.

Maybe it just gets a lot of attention because it's different, but it seems like the Deltawing gets caught in accidents a lot because of its disparate dimensions.

All that to create seats with slightly more space than the rear seats in a 911? Really?

They're round flat things like tiny pistons that the cam lobes push down on to push the valves. If the lobes acted directly onto the valve stems they'd snap in half.

There have been plenty of good explanations, but one thing to keep in mind is this equation:

Any classic car that was originally a family sedan or family sedan with a big motor. The culture around these is the exact equivalent of people in 2060 freaking out every time they see a mint condition '08 Dodge Avenger driving down the road. Just think about that.

My man.

I don't care where you grew up or what it took to get your license, I don't understand how someone could see a blind curve and think "good place to pass".

Damnit Orlove, every time I see a pre-5mph-bumpers 911 it makes me want to convert my '82. It hurts, so I'm asking you to stop.
