I know, that is definitely odd. My guess is that it might just be for the sake of hype. If it ran on normal fuels it would just be a hybrid, which isn’t as exciting as it used to be. Wouldn’t be surprised if the turbine gets swapped for diesel right before it starts shipping.
It isn’t a fuel-cell, they are burning the hydrogen in a turbine.
Driving is generally much easier on motion sickness than riding along, so just because you have issues with park rides doesn’t mean driving will necessarily be a problem. Try out some karting and autocross for a lower cost test of if you can handle tracking or not.
You got motion sickness while driving? Can you normally handle go-karts?
PCA requires an inspection within 2 weeks of every event. Gets pretty annoying, but you don’t have many mechanical issues cutting into everyone’s track time either.
Yeah, I’m considering it, but its a good amount of cash for something I will likely never need to do again if I do it right. Anything I don’t do while I have the bottom end apart would require pulling the motor anyway, which comes out the top okay.
Yeah, that is one I think I would farm out. Sounds like you should be well sorted for a while though, you’ve certainly done all the worst stuff. I have an N/A that I’ve gotten track-worthy over the last few years, and recently picked up a Turbo S that needs a new oil pickup tube. Still gearing myself up for that job.
What’s wrong with your ‘44? I might be able to help.
Pretty similar to an engine replacement on a 911 turbo I bet.
You should be drawn, quartered, and given hundreds of stars for that.

People breathing also produces a lot of CO2. We should just eliminate some people so we don’t have to modify cargo ship fuel, it would be much easier.
I think that the luxury thing is a consequence of low volumes. Only the luxury automakers can stomach selling a wagon model at low volume.
The marketing is the key, and the popularity of the Magnum when it came out is proof that it can work.
It’s a plug-in hybrid, right?
Tyler, you are way better than Doug. Less formulaic writing, and some actual technical ability instead of just calling the dealer or tow truck. Good on you for finding a $4k Range Rover.
That was the argument against EFI systems when they came out. At first it was true, they weren’t much more dependable than carbs and they were more expensive when they broke. But now, an EFI system can run almost indefinitely. Usually transmission, timing chain, or head gasket failure is the death knell of a car.
Well below budget, but doesn’t really check any of the other boxes.
They know they don’t have the right of way, but assholes will be assholes.
