I beg to differ...

“Dodge Viper has NASCAR aspirations, wants to turn left.”

A former coworker of mine was explaining to me how the bolt-on spoiler on his Pontiac Grand Am helped him to go faster on the highway.

Hahaha! This exactly.

It would have been such a disappointment to be at that race...

I was streaming the test live when this went down. Dylan Gray looked terrified when this racket went past, and was actually at a loss for words for a while after. Michelin is off to a bad start in their return to MotoGP.

Wasn’t Michelin behind the 2005 debacle at Indianapolis when they pulled all cars running Michelins because they couldn’t stand the high temps of the banked oval?

Sorry, I guess I didn’t phrase that properly. I totally agree, a skilled rider on a slow bike will almost always be quicker around a track than a novice or intermediate rider on a fast bike.

Yup! I had this car, and this umbrella! It was the first thing I checked for when I bought it. The guy that imported it never realized it was in there. When I showed him, after I bought the car, he said he totally would have snaked it if he had known.

Hahah! My Nissan GTI-R had this! That was in ‘93!

V8...

Rossi was definitely slower than Marquez in Sepang. The question is, why didn’t Marquez just make the pass and march off down the road. I’m pretty sure Marquez was faster than Lorenzo in Sepang also...
