“So, there you have it: how do you win Le Mans? Spend as much time as possible out on track, not in the pits swapping consumables or fixing a broken car.”

Please help a fellow Jalop out, un-grey me.

Or you could just squirt the ketchup on the fries since they are going to be dipped in it anyway...

I just saw myself grey’d a bit ago too.....

When you are auctioning cars at a local county auction, I can see them not looking thoroughly through the history, but when you’re a multi-million dollar production auction house with it’s own TV marathon, and has say as to what can and cannot go over the auction block, your reputation is on the line, so making sure…

Gas Moneky does get kind of a pass since they represent their cars as “resto-mods” and custom rides, as compared to this Vette as a Showroom,pristine,all original, insert word describing it as a museum, or concours car that will be worth a lot of money.

I’m suprised anybody would be shocked Mecum allows fraudulent or crappy vehicles across the block, have you not seen what Gas Monkey Garage has pushed across their floor? Mecum is a scummy auction company. You want authentic, make sure you know exactly what you’re looking for, do your homework since they do advertise…

Welp, looks like I have to go home, fire up the ol’ PS2, and start playing some Ace Combat 5 or 0 again. It’s really effective in Missions 26 (Seas of Chaos) and Mission 07 (Front Line)

Let’s see, what awesome list of cars do I own, better hold on to your god damn mind, cause it’s about to explode. I own a daily driven 240K mile 1994 Ranger that’s survived two accidents, one while I was asleep in my house....that’s a story. I have a 1992 3000GT SL with an upgraded holly tree growing between the…

You must own a Corvette. And why? I don’t know, ask every formula 1 team since 1959, ask the manufacturers of Le Mans winning cars for the past 50 years, ask Group B rally engineers, ask Ron Dennis or Gordon Murray, Christian Von Koenigsegg, Horacio Pagani and more.

I agree, but BMW and Merc has been making hyper sedans knowing 99.9% will never see their limits, but they must be doing something right. It’s a status thing, because we can say the same thing about a guy who buys a 458 Italia and lives in a town that’s 500 miles from the nearest track, and has blipped the throttle…

Sadly, days of run what you brung are deal in sports car racing.

First off: Obligatory

I’d pay $1,000, and that’s being nice. For all we know, the engine internals made the oil sparkly. At least use some black magic and make it look like you gave half a shit about it. I expect 40 year old barn finds have that much dust in the engine bay, not a 20 year old performance sedan.

I’m going to say yes because I’ve seen some Stratos replica’s sporting them

Years ago when I watched a documentary on group b, they interviewed someone and asked how fast they were at the time. Someone said that the S4 was so fast, when testing at Imola, it set a time that would of allowed it to qualify 9th for either last year or that years F1 race!

That or Alitalia with yellow wheels, really can’t lose:

Okay, well now you just fed my interesting info disease, and need more STAT!!!
