Agreed. At the least there should be a caveat on #2. If you come in with a lesser loan amount than what the finance person can get, then you go with a private loan. But if the dealership finance person can get you a point or two off your private loan while he takes a cut, THEN WHO THE HECK CARES because you're still…

I've had it on three of my cars ('07 Corvette, '12 Corvette, '09 SRT8 Challenger) and it's not so bad. You miss it completely if you give it about 20% to 25% throttle. You grow so used to it that I don't even notice it anymore - you give it JUUUST enough gas to avoid it. Every once in a while I used to hit it and it…

I remember seeing that Jaaaaag at Road America during a ALMS race a few years back. Boy, was it getting its ass handed to it by the Vettes, BMWs and Ferraris, but man I swear to you it was the best-sounding race car on the track that day.

Good eye... It is. If it was a '91 L98 or '92-'96 LT1, it would have a rectangle brake light above the "Corvette."

It's an option to order it with exposed carbon fiber or body color paint. I actually like the CF option, but that's just me.

Not if you count the cost of building a proper computer to sim race with. Now, if you have a good enough computer already, then there's no better than iRacing - not only for the physics engine, but also for the myriad of potential components you can build into your setup. But for PC racers to throw price point into…

Leaders are always sitting ducks on restarts. The aero on the DW-12 Indy cars allows drafting, so leaders are regularly hung out to dry right at restarts. Now as for conspiracy theorists out there, that would have to be pretty spot-on timing for Dario to hit the wall when he did and there was no way to see if TK…

It took me all of five minutes to get in the gates. I experienced longer lines at NFL games. I was actually a little surprised by that. By far one of the best 500's I've been to and I've been to a LOT of them as an Indiana-born gearhead!

I've driven an ATS 2.0 liter and that chassis is everything the magazines rave about, the interior's got great materials, yet the responsiveness of the CUE is absolutely everything they bitch about. It looks like an iPad, functions like an iPad, but has a quarter to half-second delay on just about everything you do.…

I bought a 1990 ZR-1 for $23,000 in 2007 with about 40,000 miles on it when I was 26 years old. Man, that car was awesome. It revved all the way to 7,200 RPM and kept pulling. That clamshell hood had a hell of a jewel in it. I always enjoyed when guys pulling up in Mustangs, Camaros and the like kept challenging my…

Man, that name is WEAK! They should buy out TRANS-AM and shutter that series just for the name! Oh well, the racing should be quite impressive. Looking forward to 2014 nonetheless.

Good lord, I hope not. It would have been better if they went with GRAND-ALMS

That would be a little tough. His Rolex Daytona would have a specialized Daytona 24 engraving on the back.

OK then, I'll try to refine for Viperfan1. Anyone who blips the throttle to try to rev-match on routine downshifts or has tried successfully or (unsuccessfully in my case thanks in part to my uncoordinated size 16s) to heel-toe shift

It's not the hydrogen itself that has me scared it's the fact that it's COMPRESSED hydrogen. It could be anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 PSI in there. Plus, are those the goddamn H2 tanks on the SIDE of the car that will be running at 220 mph down the Mulsanne Straight where another car can sideswipe it and take it…

I once got stopped by a Performance Red Mustang Cobra R when I was in college in northwest Indiana. I heard the sirens and my head was whipping around looking for a Crown Vic or something. I didn't even realize it was the Cobra R until it pulled in front of me and slammed on the brakes to force me to slow down. That's…

I think that's a moot point with several of the cars on this site that we all love. When do you really get to see a Lamborghini Aventador or a McLaren MP4-12C? I mean, really! I've seen that Lambo ONCE at some richy-rich car show. Do you think I'll ever drive either one? Hells no, unless I somehow manage to trick the…

I like it!

My dad has an '84 that he bought new in 1983. I had an '88 at one point as well. That dash always looked pretty cool in a Knight Rider/Buck Rogers sort of way - especially at night. It was also quite legible during the day and never had any visibility/glare issues. But then again, I was born in the early 80s and have…

LOL Damn you! I spit coffee on my work keyboard!
