Yeah, this thing will beast the Turbo and Turbo S to 124 and in the 1/4 mile. It won’t be able to manage the launch as well though - AWD makes too much of a difference.

If Porsche’s quoting 2.9 for the 0-60 I’d say the real number’s probably closer to 2.6. Thats pretty much an ideal launch in the AWD Turbo S in a RWD car! I think 700 hp is likely and that’s going to make this the scariest Porsche since the Carrera GT. I can’t wait to see one at my local PCA meet - one of the guys…

e60 M5. 8500 rpm V10, fragile SMG, enough space for a big guy and does 14 mpg on the highway. Spend an extra 2k on an eisenmann exhaust that makes it sound like a formula 1 car. Its stupid but in an awesome way and on its way to being collectible. You should be able to find decent examples in the high 20s/low 30s.…

I did not know that. Perhaps its possible McLaren look to have Cosworth make their own engines from 2021 onward. They already do this for their road cars.

Most likely for 2018. Theoretically its not impossible this year because both the Honda and Mercedes units are similarly laid out with a split turbo but it would still require a brand new chassis because the Mercedes unit is materially larger. They’re not going to win anything this year so might as well stick with the…

Given its the mail I’d take this with a grain of salt but I don’t doubt that this is the most likely outcome for the 2018 season. This is the only option McLaren has at this point.

Nashville couldn’t score on 4 power plays, including a 5 v 3. They have no excuses. The better team all series won. The only thing I don’t get is how Crosby got the Conn Smythe. Yeah he’s still Sid and he’s still amazing but he did miss some time and I think Malkin or Guentzel would have had a better case.

Disappointed. The bodykit is overdone and 640 hp is somewhat underpowered (yes I said it!). The last GT2 RS was over 620 hp and the current Turbo S is pushing close to 600. With water injection and a tune, there’s no reason to not get over 700 at the very least.

Careful there - the maintenance costs on these things can truly be eye popping. The manuals have already been bid up largely on rarity and the SMG is an awful, unreliable, astronomically expensive black hole for future running costs. The contemporary Ferrari 430 is far more reliable which is kind of shocking by itself…

Please move to Houston. Katy’s pretty much half full of Calgarians anyway and I’d die for a NHL team in town.

Doesn’t need to be federal. Allow existing driving under the influence laws in all 50 states to apply to using any distraction including and not restricted to electronic devices. In most states this wouldn’t even need legislation, merely a note from the state attorney general. Texting/netflixing/using any electronic…

TBH the better version of the huracan (rwd) is under $200k. While not cheap that’s within striking distance of 911 owners.

Yeah I’m the same way. Need for speed 2 was amazing with those really cool tracks and the videos that came with the cars. High stakes was also really cool with a return to non us locations and the ability to add user created cars that were in some cases even more detailed than the original ones in the game. Porsche…

No sympathy at all. That video is the perfect example of what’s wrong with this country. People watch it and feel sorry for them and blame the dealership/seller/system instead of blaming the idiots that bought it. Most Americans lack even a rudimentary level of financial literacy. Many people my age group (20-35)…

This should get a Pulitzer. I need a new monitor cover.

Yeah its not ideal. Audi does a good job with the MMI but really BMW are a class of one in terms of steering wheel + heads up display integration. I’ve heard good things about newer generations of Mercedes’ system but haven’t had the opportunity to try it. Porsche are alone amongst the German manufacturers in terms of…

Really hard, particularly in motion. Not sure about the Macan specifically but I have both a 991.1 GTS as well as a BMW M4. Even though the Porsche is ~18 months newer than the BMW the user interface feels ~5 years older. All controls are confined to the center console or a weird stalk on the steering column, there…

That game was the Penguins playoffs in a nutshell. Sullivan has done an amazing job coaching around all the injuries they’ve had to deal with and this is the result. Like against the Caps and the Senators, they were outshot and outplayed for most of the game but they have the talent and ability to find a gear nobody…

I really hope they can make everybody forget about that this year. They seem to have the fastest car at least.

Yes. Those were Alonso’s best years imo - even better than his WDCs where Renault was at least the joint fastest car on the grid. I still think than in identical really good cars, Hamilton and Vettel are faster. Where they struggle and Alonso shines is when the car isn’t that good - he’s the best there’s ever been at…
