Same. Purple was my color of choice.  That was the game that got me into cars.

There was a ‘6' in there too.

And america is also one of the only places where particulate emissions and nitrogen oxides from diesel engines aren’t shortening people’s lives.....aside from the other problems with pollution that exist.

I will never understand why it took this long for windows to have an easily accessable brightness slider in the action center. Its unfathomable

Shouldn't require much computing power if they optimize gains offline to balance control effort vs state deviation in an LQR-type setup.

Are these cars track day ready without structural or safety mods such as the addition of a roll bar?  Lots of tracks have rules restricting the use of convertables, but they are vaguely worded and I would think McLaren would have thought of that

I hope my LS7 doesn’t turn into an ice cube....

Some would say that any performance car costlier than the average transaction price in the market (~35k) is affordable too. This is middle management’s idea of “affordable”.  An S2000 is mine.

Who doesn’t like cougars on their racecars?

I cannot think of a worse city for a car-related blog to be based in.

Purchased a Cruze hatch for this reason.  People call it a clown car and say they have never experienced anything like it.  They also wonder why I have to move a lever in the middle every few seconds.

“The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

I did that at Michigan! Best b-day present ever. The g-forces, even at 155, were the most memorable part. I can’t imagine the forces being felt by the pros for hours.

Im a young with a car. If you have a car, the gas deals alone make the membership worth it. My Costco has local restaurant gift cars sold at 4/5ths value. Its like printing money.

Have it. Can confirm.

A bit of fuel would be used when accelerating the engine to match the speed of a lower gear, but then no further fuel would be used while the engine is kept above the idle speed by the chassis of the vehicle. If your engine braking event is short enough, it wouldn’t be worth it to downshift while if your engine…
