By chance, was the prior job of the Captain of the Costa Concordia?

A little lag but most impressive when on boost. The real question is how annoying the off boost feel will be in actual driving, keep us posted.

I really love the sound of that engine working. I may be in the minority, but I really don't like the name "Hellcat" as this sounds like something GOOD, as in heavenly.

An American flagship car is traditionally large and in charge. Soon we will see the wisdom of Caddy's new approach, and whether or not it works.

Give me a call, I'll give you a scratch!

Yep, it was a musclecar, and that was at once its appeal, and its downfall. If you have ever driven a regular regal the GN was a revelation in terms of handling prowess. The GNX had wider tires if I recall correctly, there was one in the show room when I bought my GN. I never noticed extreme sensitivity to bump steer…

Having driven and owned one I can tell you that one could indeed turn the GN, pretty well compared to other Buicks, not so well compared to a "Vette or Mustang.

Badge is from 1987 model year. Had one, wife totaled it.

I remember seeing one of these and laughed like a fool when it turned out to be BUG powered. I believe it was the late 80s.

Open it up and find out!!!

With any luck ALL of it. Seriously, you know that Kawasaki has had traction control on the Concours since 2010 right?

Hauntingly beautiful and a reminder that our time on this earth is temporary. Esslesiastes comes to mind where Solomon talks about all things passing away. May we never forget the intensity of those who built, maintained, flew and died in these aircraft. Through their efforts our freedom has endured, so far. May we…

Great and informative article. I have never seen any inside pics of the XB-19 until today, when you posted VIDEO of them. Thank you so much.

Actually, the C-99 was a derivative of the B-36 bomber, specifically the XB-36. It was sent here to Dayton to the AF museum found it had some serious corrosion of the magnesium parts of the structure. My understanding is that they are storing it until they formulate a plan for renovation.

What they don't show is when he falls off after the driver hits his brakes after the impact !!

LOL

Actually, I think this thing, given the power it supplies, is VERY docile at low speeds. Helmut seems to be playing with boost settings or engine mapping on the video with his left hand. Well done achievement.

True fact. your push lawn mower has a bigger engine than this motorcycle. Try to find a modern lawn mower with a smaller displacement engine.

Hey, your push lawn mower has a bigger engine than this bike. My smallest mower has a 140cc engine. Does that put this achievement in perspective? Grom will likely top out less than 60mph in the packed configuration shown, maybe even 55. If you have never ridden or driven this "Highway" I suggest a little research-…

Nice soundtrack.
