Because it looks like a smirk which is very very fitting to making a sarcastic comment about someone who said something ignorant.

I’m in the same boat as you. Especially considering his track record for blowing up C7’s.

The pontiac that is your avatar fits this comment so well lol.

No racing credentials in a car made by a dude with a track record for pissing off his customers and blowing up their cars.

The number of cylinders doesn’t really matter when you are talking about turbo lag. What matters is the volume of air and fuel the engine can pull through and burn and then push into the turbos. Pushing 26 PSI from what I can only assume are huge turbos, it will have lag.

Ask any marine which he would prefer watching his back, an F-35 or an A-10. I agree with you pretty much 100% on everything you said except that. The A-10 is a vastly superior CAS platform than the F-35, it can hit the enemy harder and for longer while taking harder hits and doing a better job protecting its pilots.

My thoughts exactly.

This was a Hennessey HPE700 C7. The owner was 2000ish miles on their build and in 2nd gear at 5700 rpm a rod punched through the block and covered the exhaust manifold in oil which then caught fire. The guy luckily didn’t lose his whole car but hennessey would cover the cost of the parts they supplied but not the…

He’s had a handful of his tuned C7 vette’s pop for no apart reason(at less than 100% load and at least 1000rpm below the redline) and his general attitude towards these issues is to deny their warranty claims and distance himself from the customer.

You forgot to include the fact that this is a guy who can’t tune a corvette without a handful of them grenading. How the hell is this thing going to run in 500 miles?

I wonder if that means it will catch fire faster like most hennessey products? Of course with that much horsepower, maybe you could just go fast enough to put the fire out...

And probably propelled the motorcycle backwards with more force than the engine could produce.

Not to mention that guns mounted directly to the aircraft and aimed by aiming the plane are historically significantly more accurate than any turret mounted gun.

I bought a taurus SHO which was in no way suspiciously cheap, it was at about the right price for its age and mileage. Literally the day I picked it up the transmission pan gasket blew out soaking a catalytic converter in ATF which smoked like crazy and then caught fire. I luckily had a fire extinguisher in the car so…

I agree. And it'll be nicer to drive day to day because it'll have better visibility and a better ride.

The truck also landed on loose sand which is much much better at absorbing energy than dirt or asphalt.

This is exactly what I’m hoping for. Upmarket and capable, but not unattainable. 40-50k starting price topping out in the 60-70k range.

No I didn’t mean that a 3 rotor is as big as an I6, I meant that rotaries are more narrow than they are long.

GOD DAMN

I’m sure the wheels will get smaller and the green house will get bigger as will the wheel gap but that isn’t all bad. The wheels and wheel gap can be handled by the aftermarket. Also, if you look at how the the concept that previewed the current 6 to the production 6, I would say they did a nice job of meeting all…
