Downloading old races is not going to give a sense of the brutal noise emitted by the old engines when heard at the track. Like top fuel drag cars (which literally shake the ground) there’s more to it than even a high end home theater system could reproduce, in part because the microphones aren’t capable of fully…

You’d think that the VAG Group would have the technology to adjust engine settings when the car senses that it’s being run in a static environment and not moving . . . . .

I wish they were selling better. The problem is it’s not sporty enough. As you point out it looks too much like an Impala and doesn’t stand out. I don’t mind a sleeper, but if no one buys it, what’s the point? Besides, if you’re going to spend that much money on a Chevy, you might as well buy a Corvette.

It is a simple matter of numbers; there aren’t enough young girls getting into karting and moving up through junior formulae to make Formula One a realistic possibility.

Not that I’m backing Bernie, but the recent few HAVE been hard to take seriously. Wolff was never on anything near pace. None of them have been.

And the best pun. I remember an ad in the 80's or 90's with a couple saying that their AWD car is “all we’ll drive”. I thought it was impossibly clever back then. What can I say? I was a boring kid.

It’s every racing engineer’s dream to get his own line in the rule book.

“Since the technology isn’t complete yet,”

the design process

But it’s not just the engine, it’s the Yamaha tuned exhaust.

I guess this needs to be a new section since “Will it baby?” is now more “Will it toddler?”

I submit “Will it Rock?” to the Jalopnik commentariat as a possible alternative.

Just update the LM002 like MB did with the Gelandewagen and next thing you know every celebrity in Hollywood with be cruising around in it.

Tavarish is always reminding us that you can buy a used S-Class for the price of a half-eaten Almond Joy and a bottle of dishwashing soap.

There’s actually a good reason for this. Most cars go through styling before engineering, so the vents get drawn on before anyone knows exactly what the actual cooling load is going to be. The default is to start with the biggest vents that might be needed, then once a motor is selected, block off as much vent as…

I would pay to watch a motorsport where teams of firefighters chase after cars on fire, with the team putting out their fire first being the victor. Would have to be like stock car racing where all the fire trucks, all the cars on fire and all of the fires themselves were practically identical though.

Lightweight purpose built car with aero = doesn’t need moar powah to go fast

I really love my cast iron pans, but one design flaw is their short-ass handles (especially on the Lodge brand pans).

They’re already heavy as hell, at least give me the little bit of leverage that comes with a longer handle, you know? I swear I’ve nearly broken my wrist trying move those things around.

Limited volume run, and they only mate to a special rim. I think the $27,000/tire figure includes un-mounting, inspection of the rim and remounting the new tires using a special process...all of this is only available at Bugatti’s technical center. It would be like having your camry wheels shipped to Japan to be hand…

I’d have them go through a decontamination vaccuum like they have in hospital ICUs. Then I’d let them ride. But really, cars like this I feel deserve to be shared. Just seeing one to a kid can help shape their entire lives. The effect these legendary halo cars have is something that needs to be shared.
