Sounds like SOP for the government. 

Some of this stuff is OK... but some of it really not so much. I have a 2015 M235i that I bought used, and the first owner had it all tarted up with the “M Performance” goodies. An actual limited slip diff, and alcantara shift boot? Sure! But those stupid “///M PERFORMANCE” stickers on my side sills that are now…

That’s probably the actual top speed since it has no transmission.

I mean, yes, it beat the record, but it’s also a purpose built race car that just so happens to be an EV. Isn’t the NIO “technically” a street car in the sense that it’s at least street legal? Saying a race car beat a street car by a minute around a track with a 5+ minute lap time shouldn’t really be surprising. Has…

“How about we make the Accord a hybrid, but instead of making it more efficient, we combine it with the V6 to make it FASTER?! Everyone will want to buy one.”

It isn’t closer because the ID.R is speed limited to around 250kph (155 mph), which makes it super impressive that it averaged 128.6 mph, but kills any chance it has on the straights. 

Is this like, a template?

Yeah it’s mentioned in the Nascar documentary ‘Talladega Nights’

I can only get so erect

Porsche shock announcement as Haas supplier, hires Alonso. Wins Championship, Hamilton and Vettel are submitted to mental health services.

I don’t disagree, but marriage and bills come first it is easier to budget for a few more dollars in a monthly payment than to find cash for $10000 in axles. Yes you can save and yes it can be done. I am just saying it is an easier sell to wife as part of a car payment. not saying in any way it is not possible to save…

In fairness to the Arch Duke, I updated the hed to be more accurate following their comments. The intent was always “last Le Mans” as the first sentence suggests, but they are correct in that there are still a handful of IMSA races remaining this season. 

Headlight types really shouldn’t differ with trim levels. That’s like getting a safer seat belt only if you opt for the premium model.

I worked as a Designer doing OEM gauges, I know how they work.

Key words “still picture”....

Honda’s reportedly been back out there testing with the Type R, so there might be an updated CTR lap soon! I hope. (I still live for tasty ‘ring times and/or all assorted ‘ring time drama.)

Oh, and never, ever forget the pure joy of one-upping slower drivers in faster cars with your a “compromised” FWD car.

I'm gonna guess 6:15 lap time +/- 5 seconds which is going to be downforce limited attempting to achieve better lap times.

Lucky for you, you don’t have to deal with the German TÜV. They don’t allow rusty things.

My German is rusty.

As are most of my other things.
