That it is. GM management ultimately cost one of the largest uprisings in the sports car world since the sports car rose up. Big surprise there for... botox lovers? They did the job anyways, but missed the larger opportunity as always.

I recently learned that the ‘93 ZR-1 also has 405hp. Ruby red is just amazing in person and I’d feel better about my mortality with a 40th Anniversary ZR-1.

Motorweek just released their 1989 test of ZR-1s in Europe with the early interior. Hopefully I won’t end up watching footage of what happened to those! Something…

Callaways were nuts! But they didn’t have to worry about Callaway cannibalism at that time, really. In 2006, having someone say “but a Z06 seems like the better value” is a problem whereas 1986's Chevrolet has no incentive to make the regular Corvette appreciably inferior to any other.

I’m just saying the engines and various components were made in Flint. The last C4's LT4 was actually the last small block made in Flint, and every job at that plant was gone after that car’s motor was finished.

The last C3 was the ‘82 model, and it was the first with a variant to crack $20,000. Base MSRP was around…

We’re talking a jump from mostly ‘63 technology to largely 1983's latest stuff all at once. Then adding fuel injection that is still a relevant technology, ABS, new emissions equipment, and a pretty impressive computer by ‘86. At the time, the price was not too easy to argue with. Add to that, Flint Michigan was a…

Keep in mind that the price jumped a lot in ‘86; the ‘85 (which was a bit more ‘analog’), started at about $24,900 and was a just a bit quicker. Not saying much at all compared to a C7, though.

One thing to consider is that the competition at the time was not quite as hard to... compete with. Ferrari had to threaten…

Can any 4+3 detractors really give compelling reason for its crappiness or personal experience? It was somewhat unreliable in ‘84 and less so in ‘85 because of a couple of design flaws fixed by ‘86, but was otherwise solid. There are quite a few out there with 200k miles without any rebuilds. They are higher…

That’s a good price, just make sure you have AT&T if you buy that one; their SIM (an activated one) is needed to do over-the-air updates which is currently the only means of updating. Pretty much all of the cheapest ones are AT&T branded (this is the best price so far). If you don’t have AT&T, it looks like they are…

I definitely recommend the PRIV; I’ll probably be getting a blue Classic due to PRIV’s cost and lack of BB10 but it’s a really good phone, particularly now with Marshmallow and more BB-specific enhancements. Having been through it all in the phone world thanks to clumsiness, I’ve finally settled on a dying platform...…

Looking at their site on Internet Archive of their page from 2014, they refer to those figures the same way (i.e. $6,800 price tag is a goal, fuel efficiency “up to” 84mpg) but are a bit less candid then. While they should make the possibility of falling short a bit clearer, I would say that the change in wording is…

None of this is news to anyone who’s really been covering or following the company substantially over the course of development; I fail to see any notable misrepresentation on their part. Can we hear about the vehicle itself a bit, too?

What’s a dingy?

It is, but there were a few NA fours up until current generations. Most notably the 320si... pretty hard to imagine a 3er like that in 2015.

3 states currently, and the number has gone down significantly in the past few years. I doubt that any will before long.

Finally a Jalopnik article on the most Jalop automotive prospect in a long time, with manual R&P steering, an extremely low curb weight, a manual trans, and a price tag/cost of ownership that is truly accessible... and it is the equivalent of the Gizmodo BB review. This is a truly exciting machine to me; it isn’t…

Meh, the version he’s referring to is actually a pretty awesome GT. Great engine/trans, good suspension, fantastically crafted, high quality components everywhere, and kind of interesting. I used to find these unappealing, but the k-car relationship is far weaker than most people spouting off about these…

I highly doubt the weight would be higher for the 6 speed as the manual BMWs have always been a bit lighter than the dual clutch automatics.

Makes one of you I guess! He’s just going to let it rot like that?

It’s true, but he is specifically talking about cars to drive and not invest in.

To call an original Torchinsky the next best thing is blasphemy, let alone the “next worse!”
