The C8 is a totally different animal than the C7. The DCT is completely different than the previous generations terrible 8 speed. I had a 6th gen Camaro SS with the 8 speed and had the same transmission issues.

An N/A motor pushing out 670hp and revving to almost 9000RPMs doesn’t do it for you?

This state has to be the worst in the country for DMV’s. They spent well over $100,000,000 to redo their DMV system and it didn’t make anything better!

People buying trucks are very tribal. I doubt there is much cross-shop between the brands.

So now we just moved the goalposts. So it’s no longer about horsepower, but about acceleration. A small, light car with 200hp could probably do it.

A 200hp car can do 116 as well. This isn’t about the horsepower, but more about the idiot doing 116 in a 30. More bureaucratic red tape because somebody didn’t follow the current laws isn’t going to change with new laws. 

There’s one at Imola in Minnesota every year. It’s a Huayra Roadster. The carbon fiber on it is crazy. 

They at least have the diesel 2.8 turbo or the 6.6 gas motor in them now.

Many of these hypercars are used to pioneer new technologies however. They can try stuff that a mainstream car cannot and that does trickle down.

>It took advantage of the same loophole that the PT Cruiser did at the time (“light truck”), with cargo variants to get classified as a truck for fuel economy.

Modern houses are junk. All building materials now are junk. The wood just isn’t as good either.

Any car that reads 140+ is most likely going to go up with 20's. That’s basically every sports car out there.

It’s even more weird to me that this car doesn’t even tend to attract the audience that she goes off on a tirade about.

It is embarrassing. The Camaro SS V8 does it in 4 seconds flat and the Mustang GT is not too far behind.

Granted, the Camaro and Mustang are good sports cars. Dodge has no idea how to build a sports car. 

The OP of this article basically did the same. They said it only had 39 miles of EV range. People that don’t know that it’s a hybrid would just take it as a short mileage bad electric car.

> This is why the Mustang outsells it, Ford realized that having a sexy high revving engine and a nice interior was more important to most owners than lap times at Laguna.

>Shitty interior and HORRIFICALLY bad visibility.

The market changed and was not kind to cars like this. Nobody wants to pay $30,000 for a small hatchback when they can find an SUV for that.

I’ve gone out a couple time with that thought in my head on bikes. It usually doesn’t turn out well. You get really sloppy and/or crash.

Gotta think of the technology available at the time as well. We can throw anything we want on a computer and have a CNC machine or a 3D printer create it in any shape. Back then they couldn’t. Everything was very manual for production. We have robotic arms building cars now and computers that can monitor and adjust…
