For people who rag on the interior, I challenge them to sit in '82 SC. Suddenly the 996 is just that much more comfortable.

22 hours?! You can do it in a long afternoon in a RWD 996.
I have a feeling the man driving a million dollar car is not concerned about traffic infractions.
I guess it didn't make sense to have Chris Pratt swinging through the trees with monkeys, so we'll have to settle for him riding a motorcycle with raptors.
I can't speak to overarching statistics, only to what I would find acceptable on my job site.
Absolutely, and I totally didn't want to pick apart what you did, I just don't want to do the same thing!
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?
