Well that's terrifying. If that happened to me I sure as hell would like to know exactly how it failed. I'm assuming a bolt backed out and then just let go.

That's the most insanely incomprehensible French name imaginable.

More important video that needs to be made:

Well yeah in that case that makes sense. I just don't get the point of Revology doing those suspension mods here, no mention of chassis stiffening, and then only putting a milquetoast engine in the bay.

His hair has slowly left Top Gear over the ensuing decade and a half, but his hilariously offensive wit has never quit.

Yeah the name does seem familiar. I appreciate the heads up. In the future I'm probably going to be a lot more careful bomb-proofing my posts.

Yeah that coyote engine really is a marvel. Great power spread, lots of it, and even gets better mpg. It's basically an ideal swap.

So your point is that I was too ambiguous and risked having some nut totally misinterpret what I wrote, react in the most extreme way possible, and go on a crazy rant about it?

I posted "the SAE net on a stock 289 was 200hp or less."

There is something seriously wrong with you.

My affinity for reliable cars usually lands me in weaker ones. That's what's amazing about the LS400. It might be the highest horsepower totally bulletproof car you can buy. Hell even the timing belt, which is the only achilles heel on these after 1994, is famous for routinely going more than 200,000 miles without…

Yeah I'm definitely interested in their rationale behind a few choices there, namely every part of the car that makes noise being underpowered. It's pretty, but given the ingredients I'm missing the point, especially for the price. Who upgrades the suspension on a convertible with such a flexible chassis?

Stars for "Top Gear US is awful"

That will not be a popular opinion, nor a correct one.

This makes me wonder if it's a mental illness to be like that. My brother and I live under the flight line of two major airports in Central Florida and love it. Well, not the Central Florida part. That part sucks.

Damnit this didn't end with someone getting tracked down and brained.

And this is precisely why I've mocked people for years over this kinda crap. "Oh thank God you did that, or somebody on the internet might have tracked down your stupid beater and stolen it right out of your cracked driveway, instead of, you know, writing down your plates when your cloaking device fails while you're…

Hell I've avoided buying a new anything for 20 years because I'm terrified of being strapped into a dealership service department torture chamber, even if they're paying for it.

Funny how GM would use a 100,000 warranty as a marketing scheme, rather than, you know, a statement about their quality.

You mean crab donut.
