It can also result in a slower corner exit speed if you don’t get it perfect.

In 1990, maybe. But the LT1 and LS1 cars were eating these things in stock form. It took a lot of work on the Diamond Star cars to get them to take out a LS1 F-Body. Coming up in the 1990s it was a grudge match every weekend in my town and the SSs and WS6s were cleaning up the Diamond star cars. It wasn’t until they…

Neutral: Do All of These Environmental Reports Freak You Out?

...that’s the Capitol Building...

If we approached climate change like we approach a war, we could kick some serious ass.

Take her for a ride in a Lotus Elise, and she’ll never complain about getting in/out of the 350z again.

Perhaps it’s time to face the reality that although you’re trolling a car enthusiast website, you and your wife are not really enthusiasts. I’ve daily driven everything, Alfa Spiders and Lotus Elises 2 inches off the ground, and I never once thought to myself that getting in / out of these cars is a chore. Quite the…

Everybody seems to pay way too much attention to getting in and out of their car. I really couldn't care less about getting in and out, and I've driven everything from low coupes to lifted trucks. I never notice a single thing having to do with getting in and out. It's one of those things where I involuntarily make…

Trucks have beds in my book.  That looks like a re-badged Escape Sport.  If I can’t put a bicycle in the back with the tailgate up it’s just an SUV with an open back.

That’s what customers are for. They’ve been doing GM’s R&D for decades.

“ this Elise has $68,406 miles on the clock”

Neutral: Ford frequently reminds me of Volkswagen, willing to cut off it’s own nose to spite it’s sales by giving the customer anything except what they are clamoring for. Examples:

Neutral: Can’t we just fix the EPA cycle once and for all? Make it perfectly repeatable under specific conditions (we can keep calling them “city” and “highway” if we want), then ALSO list economy at 60, 70, and 80mph steady-state, flat road cruise speeds. I’m tired of manufacturers trying to game the system.

That’s wild. And terrifying.

Jason, I worked on the Elio engine at IAV so let me give you a little background on why they decided to develop it in the first place. Elio had always wanted to just buy an engine but turns out it’s really hard to get someone to sell you one when your a startup. Most companies in that situation want the money up front…

That wasn’t his point - regardless of vehicle configuration, if you leave yourself ample stopping distance and drive per the conditions you should never be near threshold braking causing the tires to lock up, which would engage ABS if you have it.

OK, just this once — A fetus is not a baby. An implanted embryo is not a child. A fertilized embryo is not a baby. An egg that’s been fertilized by a sperm is not a child. Potential embryos are not a baby.

I’m a Catholic conservative and neither party appeals to me anymore. Repubs defend the unborn but want to execute criminals and Dems are vice versa; all life should be protected. Repubs destroy human dignity by tearing families apart and denigrating the other, Dems destroy the dignity of work by telling us those who…

I’ve known who Kavanaugh was for about 6 years now, when I saw him speak at a symposium. While I obviously don’t know him personally, from having seen him speak and read his opunions, which come across as pompous, arrogant and self-righteous, it is not surprising that he has developed a self-image of himself being…
