I somehow missed it was auto. Not a chance - the manual is the only reason to choose this car over a Lexus SC400 of the same vintage. Either way, a manual SC300 is probably the better choice in the end.

Is it “sike” or “psych”?

True tunnel vision.

/davidattenborough “Alone, the robodog is a meek and cautious hunter. Steadily stalking smaller machines and waiting for them to exhibit weakness before striking. It’s favored prey: the riding mower, the snow blower, and the noble Harley Davidson. But, when hunting in packs, the robodog is not afraid to bring down…

Veritasium just did a great video on this.

For instance, we can draw direct parallels to American society. It’s a society that professes to greatly value veteran status, and sees military service in its politicians…

Driven monthly.  Period.

The entire series was well done. Thank you!

Not dreaming, no. However, what you’re thinking of was the difference between Gross and Net horsepower, not brake (flywheel) and wheel horsepower.

The Turn 7 banking was just surreal, if one had the willpower to just hold the throttle pegged to the floorboard. 

People don’t understand just how great TWS was. There was a flow to TWS that I haven’t found in any other southern U.S. track (Road Atlanta might be the closest).
