lol, at least they know their market with standard drag radials. I gotta wonder though what they did for wet and cold performance with them or did they just go full send and slap a sticker on the car saying in anything other than warm dry weather the car shouldn’t be operated. Other than straight and in the dry a DR…

Hmomm... given the digital drovetrain you would think manufacturers would approximate the acceleration of an ICE vehicle (well except BMW who would charge a monthly sub for the “ICE” experience).

lol, I think it was the mid 90's when I tried Olive Garden for the first and last time and in the early aughts the sister choke & puke Red Lobster again for the firs and last time.

In effect that is what is happening, but there is enough money and interest out there to support a niche ICE industry. 

I’m knocking on 53 and I daily drive a manual and have for the past 23 years. If anything, it’s gotten easier with the prevalence of dual disc clutches and weighted hydraulic clutch actuators. Matter of fact I’ve just knocked down a 2500-mile trip that included driving through VA, MD, PA, TN, WV and DC with time spent…

The cams aren’t the problem with a conventional valvetrain, they seldom are the point of failure when an engine is revved extremely high. The rest of the valvetrain is where the failure usually occurs since the valve springs cannot control the movement of the valves and the erratic motion is what leads to failure. The…

Good looking car but we’ve reached a point where extreme performance cars are pointlessly absurd and in order to make them somewhat accessible the driver needs to be as insulated from the experience as much as technology allows. This applies to not only to EVs but ICE vehicles as well.

Man, people really hate Nissan and on a related note since I live in the land of the left lane hogs (that would be VA since it seems to be loaded with people who think they are so important the left lane is reserved for them) I’ll have to pay attention. 

It’s a guba’a’mint trak’n device so Brandon can keep tabs on god fearing patriotic ‘muricans.

“Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Escape, 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair, and 2022 Maverick vehicles equipped with 2.5L HEV or PHEV engines. In the event of an engine failure, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment and accumulate near ignition sources such as hot…

1st gear - lol, no wonder the punitive damages are so high since the state is in on the action. I wonder what the lawyers get in Georgia. In VA IIRC it’s 24% which would be around 348 mil.

Man, I should have gone to law school...

I give you the Iron Duke. They shake like the car has hydraulics at idle, if you can somehow get the vehicle up to highway speed your eyeballs will vibrate from their sockets, and the exhaust sounds like nearly dead wasps combined with a bucket of bolts being shaken inside your ear canal.

A plastic shield solved the problem and I’ve been around longer than the Pinto. Folks owned one and I had few friends that owned a Pinto as well as extended family and never have I seen somebody die in one that includes a small and block conversion cars. The foxbody Mustang had a similarly unprotected tank with a…

So anyways like I was saying any minute or two some jackass hack comedian is gonna show up with a Mustang hots a crowd or ditch joke...

The Shelby GR1 concept. The polished body was nuts but man I really wanted to see this car with a DOHC 40v V10 and a nice M6 transaxle but... I understand since at the time there was the FR vette and the Viper and Ford tossing a newcomer in there at a reasonable price would have been nothing but a money losing vanity…

It’s a brute and the ‘ring doesn’t really punish any particular type of car so long as it has decent attributes in the handing-braking-power pyramid. The Plaid is medicore in the handling and braking department but stellar in the power department so it can lay down a good time where the Taycan is great at handling and…

Andreas Preuninger said 85% or there about of all the GT3 RS cars sold are used as intended. It was also nice of him to say they will produce as many cars as they can and only limited by the resources required and the number of cars they can schedule down the assembly line since there is only one line for the 911.

I mean you know, I just retired but I could take that and put it down on this car. Nicely equipped it comes in at 300k and would be worth entering the workforce again and retiring at 80.

I’m not a big fan of automatics but this is one of those cars I could make an exception for like the Z06. It’s just so damn…

Ford has said it’s ICE game is still good till at least 2040, the Camaro is dead so that leaves Mustang as the only ICE game in town when it comes to domestic RWD front engine performance cars. That will probably lead to some comfortable conquest sales as the vette is a little more than either entry level Camaro and…

Appropriate in the context of Dodge but like the V8 Interceptor in Mad Max it looks like the last domestic front engine performance car will be a Ford since Camaro is going out to pasture again (and either coming back as an EV more-door sedan or Corvette will become a brand and introduce an EV sedan)
