ooooooh

I’ve used DOS and played games from floppy disks. Damn those were awful times

Slow is relative. When I was teenager Ferraris on the screen looked like this:

Everyone. The problem is no one bothers to take two minutes and verify things, which is why fake news is a problem.

Earlier 50s especially. The joke at Plymouth was “our styling won’t knock your hat off, but neither will getting in and out of our cars”.

Which is why the fuck they are bought. Four doors, decent clearance, decent haulage, ok towing, not the worst gas mileage.

There’s way less driveline loss in FWD setups than RWD.

That’s what the GT2 RS technically is...

Couldn’t you just leave it on?

Numbers sell cars. Example: Ford- “we have done exhuastive testing and redesigned the rear suspension to improve both the rebound damping of the twin tube shock absorbers and reduced the spring rate in the leaf spring pack to provide a softer ride while unloaded” General Public- “crickets...........” Example two:…

OHH GTFO of here with that built not bought bullshit! Wrenching and racing, while both rewarding in their own sense, can be, and in many cases should be, independent of one another. Do you churn your own butter or cure your own bacon? My guess is probably not. You leave that task up to the people that are good at…

For me, the 1973 RSR makes a sound that can’t be beat. I had a customer with a very nice replica, with headers flowing into a giant empty can, then out through a pair of 3" pipes. It shook the building as he idled off the lot. Beautiful. It sounded more like a full on drag car than any Porsche I’d ever heard.

Cooling systems are fairly simple? This is a highly engineered forced induction performance machine, I’m not sure how you determined that this is a simple fix? How could it be that the best engineers working for a multi-billion dollar automotive company cannot seem to figure out the “simple” fix?

Being stuck in limp mode is why they all bought Corvettes in the first place.

It’s the GT350 tech pack, not the track pack that’s had the most issues. The track pack and the R have cooling components that don’t exist in the regular GT350 tech pack.

The distinction here is it’s not a performance upgrade that’s needed, it’s a core problem with the car.

If that is the only indication to you that “times are a changin” you haven’t been paying attention.

I just watched a bunch of 911s wailing around the Nurburgring this evening. They all sounded pretty righteous to me.

Used to be that cars did not have the complexity and electronics that they have today and that you could reasonably fix these sorts of problems by sending money to a mail order speed parts company.

The BMW i3 is only a couple thousand more, and the interior feels ten thousand dollars better.
