We can take back one crack at Florida as a state now I think. Just one.

But how is contact initiated if there was no contact? Officially, it's up to the race director alone. That means anything could be cited under this rule. I'm not going to call for his/her head over this call, but I disagree with it (and the rule specifically excluding contact as a requirement- look at the name!).

That hit only required a local yellow, not a full course yellow.

Soooo "pain and suffering" are the same as depreciation?

Maybe I'm a bit behind. Some of them have used DCTs in the past though. Anyway, show me who's banning a torque converting auto. Surely not every sanctioning body across all motorsport bans them.

If the automatic was really that good, it would be in actual racecars. Get back to me when someone switches from a DCT to an auto.

I guess you're right, there are no $100k with DCTs. Just $20k econoboxes and $100k Porsches. Oh wait...

You gotta have the right wheels on it.

But it is supposed to be a purist, track-oriented car. Or it was was, at least. Maybe the new one isn't. I'm waiting for the slap. As far as my checkbook goes, I already have- my toy says Stuttgart on the front, and that's not going to change anytime soon :D

Just ask Kodak what's wrong with doing that.

The world leader in film photography and every other dying technology liked your post.

...so they actually develop something and make one. I think Koenigsegg designed their own. The rest of the car and motor is original.

Best from what perspective?

Koenigseggs have much more torque than either car and use dual clutches. It can be done, and the Z06 is going to be expensive anyway. There is no excuse.

For everyone that is still defending an automatic Corvette, tell me this: why do they still not offer one with a dual clutch gearbox? You can get one on a Dart, and for the same price as a normal auto I might add. There is simply no excuse. That goes for any other high-end sports car out there that might still come…

There's actually really no excuse for them to STILL not offer a dual-clutch. You can get a dual clutch on a freaking Dart. GM still sucks and deserves the hate.

It just wasn't theft. The car was in the dealer's possession by consent and the dealer destroyed it. It doesn't matter that the couple didn't consent to the joy ride specifically.

All those words yet no answer to my question. That's because, deep down, you can't justify forcing the dealer to eat the depreciation. It would be a good thing for them to do, but there is no legal, moral, or ethical obligation for them to do so.

The only competition that came close at Le Mans was Aston Martin. Bring it.

Why should the dealership eat the depreciation on the car? If this was a 2004 one-owner Civic with 50,000 miles, no one would be demanding the dealer eat 5 figures and give the customer a new Civic. A showroom stock Camaro that new IS just another used car. They're not that special or particularly limited, even in…
