Not going to happen. The car is designed as a burnout machine, and the safety engineering department would rather have the car slide, than flip over, survivability is higher when the car does not flip. Slightly wider tires? Sure. Enough to use all the horsepower 0 to 60? Not so much.

Simple! Just buy about 30 of them, and charge to your hearts content.... Should give you the daily range on any given day. Anyway that’s my plan at the bankruptcy... Buying pennies on the dollar.

It is great they figured out a way for variable compression, but they have potential issues with reliability on three fronts. Why a four cylinder? Smaller displacement, less pressure on the system overall. If it holds up great, but I would not want to be the person with rod thrown, or so much unintended secondary…

Yes. I know GM took a Neon apart, Ford may have too. a buddy had an internship at a CAD software company, and spent time with one of the groups at GM that did competitor teardowns. Neon was one of the cars they were working on at the time, along with a PT Cruiser.

Torchy, never change. Looking forward to your rocket powered unicyle retrospective.

Torchy, I don’t care if it is Tesla or something else, I like when you engage in automotive flights of fantasy. The regular stuff is good too.

Get an original bug, you can hit Vmax on the onramp most places without breaking the speed limit.

Fine, skip a cycle and bring on the Koenigsegg Three:3.

Or delicious! Sounds like making a smoothy, just forgot the bananas.

Looking forward to slicing the brisket on a racetrack. Now if I could only convince the wife to let me go. (Its educational, think of the kids, learning applied physics).

Wow, no crash when exiting onto the street! Well, makes sense, not a Mustang, carry on.

No, at Goodweed. Only way that Bugat- looks good.

Only if it is part of losing a bet. You can’t afford that pit crew cost.

I broke down and got the book. Hey, vacation is coming up.... Just read the Ferrari story. Thanks Doug. I have to go to work so I can’t read the whole book now..... I don’t think the book will make it to my vacation. Of course, I could re-read it then.

Carmax famous, internet famous, TV show famous. You need to add famous to your nome de plume.

I have sudden vision of doors flying so fast my five year old would start using the car opening to launch various household items across the driveway and at the grocery store. Please son, put the cat down, it doesn’t want to fly today.

Cost. Strait lines, squared off shapes are easier to render, tool, and produce and take significantly less time to develop. Current designs are for pedestrian safety, better aerodynamics for fuel economy, and oh, a chance for style, if it doesn’t cost too much. Remember, your phone has more computing power than an…

Is it just me, or do the U-shaped wings look like swing wings? Possibly for atmospheric flying. They look folded up next to the body, with pivot hidden between the engines. If so,that is one heck of a set of switchblades.

Central Ohio does have a Salt Life.... You would recognize the end product a immediately. Sticker should say Rust Life.

Beige.
