Good point, but you have to admit the constant self-promotion regarding their almighty-Christ-has-returned rendering is getting quite old. I'd wager that most of us on this site are regular readers.

I almost spit out my drink when I heard that factoid watching the race. Ahh... to be rich!

Practical?! I know not what you speak of... Since when are any of the nutbags reading Jalopnik "practical"?! As performance motors, pushrods are still plenty useful with copious amounts of horsepower from relatively small packages (despite large displacement numbers). Now, you are right, for average Joe Blow I4 or V6…

Ahh... A stickshift '96 Vette?! Atta boy, Axial! It might be designated an LT5. After all, that was the engine designation for the mighty (for the time) '90-'95 ZR-1. Although, that motor holds a special place in my heart since I once owned one.

I see you missed the point of my post entirely. I suppose that's to be expected on the internet. READ: "The whole exercise may only seem half as idiotic to a real hot shoe."

Get a Fanatec CSR or CSR Elite. Best $350 I've ever spent!

You had him try Forza with a CONTROLLER?! Console sim racing games flat suck with controllers! At least give the guy a decent steering wheel and pedals and the whole exercise may only seem half as idiotic to a real hot shoe.

GROUNDED TO THE GROUND?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

Truth be told, both series have their shortcomings and while the Road America finish WAS sweet (I was at that race!) overall, the DP's have bigger regular fields for better races, but I agree with you wholeheartedly that the ALMS GT class AS-IS is the way to go. Between Corvette, BMW, Ferrari, Porsche and now Dodge,…

They were already going to have an "Open" class in GRAND-AM as well, so I suspect that we'll see that ungodly thing at some point.

Easily comment of the day!

SWISH!

Best response so far. Race cars are meant for the track. They are freaking torture boxes everywhere else!

You go to hell and you die! I love Road America! But... I'd make the trek to Indy...

This is about what I had in my head. Bravo my friend. The Challenge series, while a great idea on paper counter-intuitively don't make for compelling racing as sportscar fans (at least speaking for myself) identify with the cars first and the drivers second.

Bought a $500 Grand Cherokee Limited to get me through the winter one year and good god was that thing a turd! But, it ran OK, got me through the winter, save for it leaking like old faithful in my freaking driveway! Piece of junk's odometer stopped working at 287,000 miles. Again, she did her job, 4WD still worked,…

A friend of mine almost got his ass beat in an Ireland bar for having the last name Wallace. Europe... Sometimes our whacked out melting pot has its advantages for leaving ridiculous blood feuds in the past.

True! True! True! Get the car that 'moves' you. And stop quoting magazine quarter mile times! Either whip out your own time slips, or just recognize that you bought your car because you love it and BECAUSE YOU COULD!

Yep. I'm an inch shorter than you and have a Challenger. It's the only car I've owned where I don't even have to crank the seat all the way back.
