Here's the deal: it's been shown on "Arte". What's Arte? Well, after we Germans and our French friends got bored of slaughtering each other every few decades, we decided to instead concentrate on our relationship. As a result, there's a government financed culture tv station called Arte, which features both German and…

Buy this plus an old 911 project to build the ultimate GT Porsche:

What a shitty day for my Fantasy WRC picks. I had Meeke instead of Loeb. So I hear that Loeb crashed out, and while that makes me super sad because I wanted to see the epic duel going on through Sunday, it helped me for Fantasy WRC. And what happens next? Meeke crashes his suspension. Damn it.

Well, imagine if you'd have to say that you drive a BMW X6 or any Audi. That's my personal "Lincoln Town Car" phobia lol

I would. Because I love the last iteration Panther cars. And Americans don't realize how cool Crown Vic's are, especially for how cheap they are.

I don't remember which year it was, but Seb Vettel once showed up at a WRC event courtesy of Red Bull and walked away with his jaw on the floor. Just being a good rally driver is super impressive and also a proper action sport, but pulling of those tricks while humiliating the rest of the field in ridiculous…

Even more impressive is what he did today on SS5: he had winter tires on, while Ogier was driving on half spiked/half winter tires, the better combination for that stage. The road also became increasingly dirty for Loeb as Ogier was in front of him. And he still was quicker. That must have hurt Ogier so much.

Exactly my thought. For the price it's being sold it seems like a screaming deal. And the options are rather cheap, the V6 is under two grand, the same goes for higher trim lines. Factor in dealer promotions etc. and it'd be the first car I'd take a look at if I had about 20 grand to buy something new.

Well, the base spec car might be "meh", but the higher lines are cheap upgrades, and so is the V6 engine. I don't know about reliability, I though they would have sorted it by now as the platform they use has been around for a few years. Might have to check out the car at a dealer nearby.

I was surprised to not find the whole New York area being swamped by Chrysler 200s. It's cheap, looks really good for the reliable mass production car it's supposed to be (much better than the CLA, A3 or 1-series IMHO) and it's a good size.

Something something Glitch in the Matrix.

Rally itself is fucking spectacular, but Monte Carlo is like all the best things in one intense package. New cars, new liveries, returning stars, exciting guest starters, beautiful roads, conditions that no language has a word for... incredible.

Loeb a robot? I've seen another explanation:

Uhm... the SLS just won Dubai 24h. There are so many SLS around. Seriously. The GT-R is being raced too and will make a big appearance at the 'Ring 24., the Callaway Corvette is the single most winning car in the German GT championship.

Way too many!

It should have the latter. Banana rearlights were reserved for the 3200GT, and it was only built until 2001, while the car in the ad is a 2002 Coupé or 4200.

Not surprising as the Audi R8 GT3 seems to be just around the corner.

Oh, I get it. I was hung up on the usage of the word "stock". In my mind, a car is stock if you can buy it from the factory the same way. That's the case with the SLS. And I totally get why they offer two suspension packs. Some people out there will never, ever drive the car on a track or even very quickly. Offering…

It was stock, it had some options from the normal catalog. That's like saying a car with upgraded leather isn't stock anymore. What about the Turbo S, essential a bundle of upgrades, and the R8 Plus, a whole facelift with a new gearbox, are they stock?

Just to add some test numbers: SportAuto took the SLS around the 'Ring in 7:40. The R8 V10 Plus was 5 seconds slower, a 997 Turbo S was 4 seconds slower.
