Um do I have to be the one to call B.S. on this? Not saying other journalists out there aren't also full of crap but come on, Auto Express. You're telling me they both had exactly the same lap time? And your choice of which to own is... both cars?

Well that's almost every car then =/
Needs Moar Splitters
I would have assumed it was inherently a point, as even a corvette is quiet when accelerating as slowly as the leaf does at full throttle.
I doubt they really cared to get the insurance. They probably made Jalopnik sign a waiver or something and take the risk in exchange for the upcoming spike in traffic. This video was both good for Pepsi and Jalopnik afterall. It was especially good for Travis as well though I think we can all see he genuinely did not…
My grandmother is deceased and her Cadillac is gone so you are right to call bullshit but my point remains, there are old cars on the roads with crappy drum brakes, no anti-lock system, and skinny tires whose stopping distance is much higher than that of my 370z. What is the threshold of stopping distance where the…
And summer tires stop in a much shorter distance in summer. So are winter tires illegal in summer months? Me thinks not.
Having grown up in the north but lived in Atlanta, I can tell you that the problem isn't that southerners are retarded or unresourceful. The problem is that the southern infrastructure isn't equipped to deal with snow/ice. In the north, we take our salt and sand and plow trucks for granted. If we didn't have thousands…
Meanwhile... 3M years from now: A new civilization of humanoid intelligent beings who evolve to breathe CO2 build up a civilization, develop advanced engineering and send a probe to the moon. They find this little rover there and are like, WTF? Worship it as god. All hail the Jade Rabbit!
Wish I was involved in automotive design, but alas I deal with websites, applications, and annual reports. BTW, your sketch is better looking than the new FT-1 concept IMHO.
Needs less yellow paint. Black or grey FTW.
The question you should be asking, is why did they paint the body yellow? Obviously black or grey is the color of choice for this baby.
Oh you want the mirrors to match the car? You need to upgrade to the M2
Nice job man. As a real life art director, I'd love to have you on my team. That rear is spot on. Did you take any styling cues from LFA?
I have a guilty obsession to admit: When driving my RWD 370Z with summer tires in icy conditions, I secretly pray that all those 4WD/AWD cars passing me slide miserably out of control and hit the median so I can laugh diabolically and pass them doing half the posted speed limit.
The Supra/Celica hips, but #1 is to keep the overall shape curvy, avoiding hard angles in the profile view.
The punishment should fit the crime, not the wallet. Anyone who feels otherwise isn't thinking about the obvious discrimination this invites. Just ludicrous that people would embrace a system which could let a person get away with triple the speed limit if they're unemployed but a more productive member of society has…
