The problem with private equity is that is all they give a shit about. Squeeze a business for all it’s worth and burn it to the ground.

Okay I was skimming so I missed that bit when I posted but yeah this story had private equity firm written all over it or money laundering.

Must be another “Scarf Inc” business...

Okay I'm reading this as a whole bunch of snark and as social commentary on how stagnant wages since the 70's have made even practical and boring sedans expensive and almost like paying for say a luxury watch. 

I wonder if maybe the GT500 will finally get an E-diff as well? They might as well shoot for all the goodies (Mag-ride, DCT and E-diff) if they aren’t going to spec a manual trans for the car.

I don’t think the TR6060 likes to shift at very high rpm. The TR3160 in the GT350 even uses a gun-drilled main shaft to reduce weight and rotating mass IIIRC as one of the modifications for use with the 5.2 Voodoo. Still I don’t expect the 5.2 in the GT500 to rev like the 5.2 in the GT350 as you indicate it most…

Why not? Literally a situation that took care of itself. Finally an abusive asshole that did the right thing for his girl and swallowed a bullet -win/win.

Oh man my coworker that insists of drinking sugary vegetable drinks is going to be upset since she says ground up sugary vegetables are better for you.

LOL, showed the boss that meme one time and he demanded I put that in writing so he could include it in my next eval!

Fool if ever you meet a 3rd gen Firebird on the road with a moving LED light in the hood draw your dueling pistols! I’m sure K.I.T.T doesn’t take kindly to some knave questioning his authenticity!

My GT350 has a flat bottomed rim. I guess it makes it more racey or something like that but I’ll tell you what makes zero fucking sense on that steering wheel! The leather sight line is black and matches the rest of the wheel... in order to get contrasting color from the factory you have to purchase the R... although…

I-Apparatus has it for the most part also a fair bit of luck - when Shelby, McLaren, Andretti, et al jumped into the sport it was the golden age and was progressing from a hobby into a business.

Truth! 

Well it isnt street racing so a win I guess...

Tesla is just jumping out in front with the cell phone as a key thing. BMW, Mercedes, presumably Cadillac and others have the same thing coming - from what I’ve seen they are fussing over implementation and security standards.

Que the “should have bought a ZR1 and with the money you saved you get a faster car and could have bought a nice house too.” crowd!

I’d just like to point out that this CRASH wasn’t an accident except for the SUV driver. McSkillet was the reason for the CRASH. Accident implies McSkillet wasn’t in anyway responsible and couldnt avoid the wreck.

Well C&D has poked a few holes in it as official document but I fully expect this car to weigh 1800-1860 kg.

You win the interwebz today!

Still a pretty interesting look into the factory.
