@skaycog: usually right? Lke a 50/50 chance? Confirmation bias, maybe?

I can hardly believe that's a real photo. I thought it must be a render or and HDR. I can't believe a photog could capture that in one frame.

By itself, this car is an abomination. By invoking the name of dearly departed Ayrton Senna they have committed blasphemy. To package such potentially awesome hardware this way is sacrilege. Pardon me if I'm a bit zealous. The car makes me want to gouge out my eyes and the music makes me want to rupture my ear drums.…

@huevosrancheros: me too, plus a bit of this:

What? No one-off wheels and custom carved tires? Plebeian.

@Rick Lyon: A can of gloss black spray paint will fix that. It's what a lot of car photographers do. Cut out a round piece of cardboard and use it to prevent overspray onto the wheels.

There's already a betting pool on which auto-journo will be the first to use this sentence, verbatim: "With 385hp the K9 is no dog!"

Needs more GTs in the name. You know a designation has lost its lustre when you can find it on an Elantra.

@CJinSD: I'm thinking that the 1,000+ hp version is going to have the Viper TT engine since it wouldn't make sense to add turbos to the already-supercharged LS9

I think the final version might look something like this.

@VeeArrrSix: Slicks wider than Al Gore's ass.

@MΩJΩ: Suze Orman? Is that you? Seriously, does anyone care if it's $400,000 or $1,000,000?

Chinese market Buick Excelle

I drive by a BMW dealer on my commute and there has been an X6 M sitting out front for weeks. I would have guessed some crazed bimmerphile would have snatched it up by now, but, knowing how dealers operate, they probably have it marked up $20k over MSRP.

@nataku8_e30: It looks like a modified 2ZZ-GE to me. Built by Toyota, designed by Yamaha, tuned by Lotus (and this guy).

@Senor Dos y Do: People live in California because the lifestyle we enjoy here is awesome. Awesome enough to put up with all the BS coming out of Sacramento. Yeah taxes are high, but you gotta pay to play no matter where you live. I've been to 47 states (and 3 Canadian provinces) and I wouldn't leave California for…

@Coreboy: The Elise never had much of a roof anyway. This guy just got rid of the pretense of having a roof. Bonus: excellent outward visibility

@pauljones: I went without a front plate for a couple years (my dad backed into it and bent the hell out of it) here in the suburbs of SF and never got a ticket. I think it depends on your local law enforcement an how far they are willing to go trolling for citation revenue.

@PowerTryp is holding a Fiesta party.: but also consider which build is more fun, because if it's more work and more fun then that just extends the amount of your Lotos-chopping fun time

"Look at its pointy ass!"
