You have a slightly differently view of premium than literally half of the world. A 3 series BMW is pretty much the honda civic of Europe.

Probably one of my favorite on-road spots of all time.

They published that call without editing his phone number out. This should go well for him.

Where is obiously in reference to which automaker.

Probably will never return unless through forced regulation. The floor makes all the downforce so monocoque bulkheads and noses are getting higher and higher in order to direct the air underneath.

So just to preface this you obviously have no data for any of these claims.

Really?

I know, sorry. Worded that poorly, just meant to support your comment with a bit more background.

Last year? Hell the 1999 GT3 was 360 from a 3,6

Execs from where? It was Mercedes who kept Tesla afloat

People like to pick on the i3 but even as a car which is largely incompatible with US driving it still does 1/4 the sales of the Model S.

I wouldn’t say I’m to “can’t stand him” level but the schtick and his cadence has passed into parody.

Me: “Coke please.”

No, no, PCCB’s are probably louder than any standard brakes I’ve ever used while cold. The real track-rat Porsche guys usually order GT3s without them because they’re noisy on the street and $20k to replace if you do a lot of track work.

The noise is typically associated with brakes that are at the end of their padding, or some other issue, like rotor warping or what have you. For Porsche, the noise is actually a feature, baby.

That’s pretty much the Super GT approach. But I think I only like it because the car gets these awesome ballast decals.

Nothing like a 4wd wagon on snowy country roads.

So are you disputing my statement or saying you’d like results to become less competitive? The close finishes are a function of exactly what you suggested endurance racing should be about...I didn’t suggest cars should run door to door I made a statement of fact as to modern results in long distance races.

Cool .gif but cars finishing withing seconds of each other in 24 hour races is pretty much exclusive to this decade.

HP is a really poor way to gauge performance which is why it’s not how they balance the power. Turbo cars do not have sonic restrictors they are adjusted through boost ratio. Relative to the 488 the GT is afforded lower boost throughout much of the rev range but is allowed to rev higher, carry more fuel and refuel at…
