If it exists then you wouldn’t need to wait 25 years, you could import it right now because it is substantially similar to what was sold in the US. It has the same engine, trans, and body, just in a combination that wasn’t available. It’s why the Audi RS6 Avant from 02-03 can be imported, a S6 Avant was available and…

With the 911, yes there are often new versions coming out, but they each have their own flavor. You pick the one that suits you best, you buy it and enjoy it. No need to be like every kid in America when the new iPhone comes out and feel like the old one you have is now garbage. 911’s hold their value extremely well,…

Makes me feel bad about all those times I complained about NBCSN. But my bet is that F1 launches their streaming right before Bahrain. And they will get a FLOOD of US subscribers instantly. I know I’m going to.

Not sure why this pisses you off. I probably would have never gotten into cars if it wasn’t for F&F. My parents aren’t really into cars, I grew up in a part of Texas where the size of tires on your brodozer were the status symbol. F&F came out the year before I got my learners permit. The lights and flashy cars showed…

And for $850 the charger handle and tip can be paint matched to the car, or pained in a deviated color

I always enjoy these articles because Jason is 100% garunteed to ignore 2-3 of the criteria. And usually the important ones. But damn if he doesn’t come up with some interesting cars.

What’s awful about ESPN’s schedule is that ESPN currently has qualifying for the American and Brazilian grands prix listed as delayed showings. While those times are both still marked as “TBD,” it’s almost unforgivable that ESPN would choose to tape-delay any session of the U.S.’s home race.

Price point. When the V8 launched it was barely over 100k. Now the V10 is in the ballpark of 200k. And is in the same league as the 911 turbo, what ever the Mclaren base model of the week is, and dangerously close to the Hurican. A 125k V6TT would sell like crazy as an “affordable supercar” which is what the GTR and…

I always wished Audi would ditch the V10 for the 4.0T. Why would I wish such a stupid thing? Because the V10 R8 makes no sense, it’s the exact same platform and engine as a Hurican...so audi should offer something completely different. I th8nk the perfect R8 lineup is a 2.9T base model, a 4.0T, and a 2.9T hybrid.

Also top speed. That .57 would be great to have in a standing mile.

6 is the perfect number. I live in a place where getting to driving roads and race tracks require highway driving to get to. A nice tall highway gear is great to have. I have an 80 911 and an 87 190E Cosworth, both beg for a 6th year on the highway. The 190E is turning ~3k at 65mph which is entirely too much and it’s…

I for one am ok with DPi cars being faster than LMP2 cars. No one complained about LMP1 being faster than LMP2, so why should we care now? DPi are basically just a better version of LMP1, as those cars were too expensive to be viable.

Here is a definitive test of if it’s a new car or a refresh: can someone buy the old car and fit new body panels in their garage, and make it look just like the new car? If yes then it’s a refresh, if no then it’s a new car. Perfect extreme example of this is the Mercedes G wagon. An average home mechanic can make a…

Why is it so damn good? Why can you rightfully compare it to Mercedes? Because the charger/300 (and really the challenger too) are actually based on the W211 Mercedes. And I believe the Durango (and Grand Cherokee) to be based on the previous generation Mercedes ML architecture as well.

That was just the first 45 mins. I’ve since had a chance to open it up and test it more, hit some jumps, open it up across some farm land. it’s a fantastic truck. I’ve got a big Texas trip planned for the end of May, where I’ll get to do some actual desert running.

Well since we’re talking about Jeep, there is undoubtedly some company already working on a prototype replacement door for JK’s and older to mimic the JL concept. Now they get to cash in with manufacturering these for the JL as well.

Been there, nearly got sued for that. As the recipient of a strongly worded registered letter I can say that yes in fact it is possible to (almost) get sued for simply putting branding on your car. It really comes down to why it’s on there, if you think it just looks cool (classic Porsche with Martini stickers) then…

Yes it’s a little on the large side, and I wouldn’t ever drive mine into a big city, but it works perfect with my lifestyle. I do a lot of Hwy driving and it’s awesome at cruising. I activate the lane keep assist, and set the adaptive cruise at 76 mph, and if I’m smart with my intake of liquids I can go 6 hours…

I know most don’t, my friend has a Gen 1 that had probably never seen a dirt road till he bought it, and I doubt he’ll ever do anything more than drive around on his hunting lease.  But some of us do use them as intended, I had my Gen 2 doing donuts in the mud within 45 mins of leaving the dealer. And there is a…

Yes it could theoretically exist in a stable state, but considering the amount of trouble it was to synthesize in a lab, and what was observed cover it’s 188 millisecond half-life it seems HIGHLY unlikely that naturally occurring in a stable form. Maybe in the center of a star somewhere....
