On a side note...

Yeah, I’ve never bought into Ferd… no bailout money, ‘murica! Fuck Yeah!!!!!

Hell I’d but it if I was sitting on a mountain of gold. I’d put in a big barn right next to a 93 Cobra, a C4 ZR1, FD RX7, and a white Tesstarossa. 

Especially in a foxbody.

Cheap power, especially the LS engines. When Ford abandoned the pushrod engine for the MOD engines and their derivatives the only game in town for building a Ford pushrod engine is the aftermarket and the expense it entails plus the OHC engines from Ford are pricey to modify.

Lighter chassis - GM’s torque arm rear suspension was better than Ford’s opposed diagonal four link.

Street racing is still fairly huge in my area and its sorta of cyclical - cops break up street racing in one city and they lay low until it filters to another city in the area then rinse and repeat. Its been that way at least since the 90's if not earlier. 

The “mothering gene”? So I guess this guy istrying to say women lack the capability to be absolutely cutthroat and willing to do whatever it takes to put a car on the pole.

Never let a good crisis go to waste!

The prime rate was crazy high due to Carter’s choice for the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker. Dude vowed to lick the inflation problem and slammed the brakes on the economy with an insane prime rate.

Has anybody ever been able to confirm Tesla’s industry leading claim on margin? If true they are blowing Ferrari and Porsche out of the water with nearly double the margin. 

Cheaper/better off just playing a racing sim as we approach the future with the glut of brake/steer/throttle (hell GM is looking into an e E clutch ) by wire system on the way.

I mean it’s only a car that has been made intentionally unsafe by eliminating any real suspension travel ( many times using suspension geometry that promotes loss of control ), acute camber angles that minimize the contact patch dangerously effecting braking and handling plus placing undue stress on the spindles.in…

So the short take here is bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

Wasnt this already well established? I imagine the number of people reading this and saying “the hell you say!” are pretty slim.

This, I’ve known some cops that use the back seat and transport felons taking the bumpiest road they can at speed and it bust the guys in the back seat up.

Yeah your gonna have to convince me of that one. There are truck heads out there but you can’t tell me anybody buying a Mustang/Camanro/ Challenger or Miata/BRZ/86 or Corvette/911/M2 et al arent car guys. 

I didn’t say Musk was an idiot - his drooling sycophants on the other hand are complete fucking idiots.

Next best thing is generations of low paid African labor with some modest improvements in infrastructure... that’s how you build your nation and avoid bad publicity or poor branding like “imperialism” or “exploitation”.
