Certainly does pose some interesting moral questions.

N0thing about suddenly, Torch's piece never implied that the engine itself would be made of beast except in his illustration. I think it was Mooncream that made that assumption.

granted, but i was continuing the thread based no the conclusions ol Torch had come to in the course of the article wherein he says much the same as I did.

I'm not sure what the article is below Stef, but i think i just had a happy accident. This is the most fantastic thing i've ever seen in a race!

there's also this kind

Hexagon probably has to do with bee hives, so it's not that far off.

I don't think so. I don't think you can design enough bio-horsepower into a compact enough space, and now that we've taken up space and weight to maintain the other aspects of the car, i think even electric is out of the question.

No dude, the engine still needs the same fluids, we're just avoiding the use of water pumps and fuel pumps, and oil pumps, and reupholstering. Unless you can figure out a way to build 2-300 flesh horsepower into the same space, the plan retains a regular ICE.

Except that it's the fluids inside those bioconduits that do the damage. Nobody out there is complaining about the minor quantities of radiator hose that accidentally fall off of cars, but the antifreeze inside of them.

"I have a headache?"

Imagine the complaints from PETA if there are nerve endings involved!

yes it is!

These are all cases of response to public complaints. Each of those things has a story behind it that starts with people complaining, and then one agency or another trying to save face. These issues have so little overlap that i think you'd have to be paranoid to assume that they are related in their origin or derive…

Not having the whole story about how bad the initial flat is makes it hard to judge, but it does seem like the car was ill equipped to deal with a flat. The supposed run-flats appear to have been either bad run-flats or not run-flats at all, and the inflator equipped with the car appears to have been complete junk.…

A Geo Metro that's heavy because it's overburdened with 2014 electronics and airbags and a bumper line as high as your crotch? Isn't this more quintessentially 2014 really?

I've got two ears and a heart haven't I?

Either that or she's a ninja. Either way...

Yes really. It's flat in between the front fenders, all the Panoz designs were as far from flat between the fenders as you can get. The glasshouse looks way more like a standard mid-rear prototype than the closed top Panoz ever could, it was excessively wide. It shares nothing with a Panoz but the location of the…

...and not 2014 style spyshots, but blurry long distance shots?

It wasn't exactly low powered though at a good 540hp +

Pretty sure the nose of that batmobile was already inspired by prototype endurance racers, uh and Craig Arfons' Green Monster and Noble's Thrust II
