I would say this is similar to when Jacques Villeneuve did a handful of races to cover for Murph's open slot, except Jacques knew that he wouldn't be at the front of the pack but still tried to finish the races intact. Very hard for a driver to come into a V8 and understand the weight/grip of the cars and the…

Wasn't this already posted on the front page a few days ago?

How do you confuse the 550 with a 456? Who even reaches for the "obscure" 456 as their late 90s Ferrari point of reference?

Getting the RX-8’s brain in the Miata, along with its motor, the mounts, and the diff required a lot of custom fabrication. CJ Wilson Mazda is not a fab shop. They bought Dean a welder and a cutting tool and he had to learn from there. “They let me run wild back there,” he said. “and I appreciate it.”

MG Metro 6R4.

The fist pump at the end is a satisfying way to end the video.

They changed the link from the broken news video player to a youtube copy of the broadcast.

The FIA seriously needs to bring back the GT1 category for these cars to play in. They wiped the category a few years back and promoted the GT3 guys to the main bill. That got rid of the hardcore Corvettes, Ford GTs, V8 RWD Nissan GTRs, Lamborghini Murcielagos, Saleen S7s and Maserati MC12s on race day.

NASCAR Car designs are like Pokemon. Gotta collect 'em all.

Newsflash: 1150 Wheel HP car beats 1001 Crank HP car.

Is it just a Jalopnik thing to send Youtube links either at the very end or started mid way through?

Stef,

So Al Capone was a saint and his only crime was some accounting errors? Great job of avoidance.

So this is what, the 6th time they've publicly broken up now?

The vents on the brake drums... The monkey seat hanging from the wing. I love it all!

Except that when it comes down to it, Loeb is still far better/faster than Ogier. Same stage, Loeb was 30 seconds faster than Ogier. If the hidden snowy rock of doom hadn't bitten Loeb he likely would have gone on to win the rally by a comfortable margin. Business as usual.

Ever since owning a perfect exterior and interior 1977 450 SEL for 2 years, I've wanted to get the 560SL of that same body style. That or a 280SL from the late 60s. Drool. They exude class and "This guy knows what's up".

Wat.

Who's going to cover all the inescapable paint damage expenses from all of the wash pieces that assault your car to get it "clean".
