Nascar never confirmed if the bumper coming off was intentional. Like I said if it isn’t in the rules then you can’t cry foul when it happens. Write it in the rules and boom no more problem.

Instead, they tried to issue a blanket statement that means plays bumper cars and you could lose even if you win.

The only one who…

Parts come off damaged cars. That is racing. If you want safe go watch tennis.

And? Racing is about finding every advantage possible. They should have made a rule that would have prevented that specifically ie non hollow bolts. Having tech inspections post race that can have you disqualified for rubbing on another car is inane.

I dd an nc miata. I also take my dog (basset hound 40lber) with me at times.

Mercedes holds that distinction. I hear it was a big hit with the crowd.

This is why I do not get buying this swap. Viper was the better car to begin with.

Its not an original and its not a successor. Its a replica. A very good replica, but still a replica.

Not entirely what I meant. He had enough charge. My understanding is that neither car can constantly go full throttle. More curious which one suffers from heat soak first and tunes itself down first.

Pretty sure this is the car you get after you sell your camaro for making babies.

It is almost like the writer completely missed the point of the cars. Then to exacerbate things they used their frame of re fence IE experience as a foreigner, to judge the cars for purposes they were never intended.

Oh Jalopnik, you so terrible.

How many runs can they each do though before they limit themselves?

Kind of a pity though. Imagine if they scaled the modern advancements we have in tank armor to battleship size.

Well there is that. Battleships also have various other issues. Given modern work to extend the range of conventional arms and the continuing development of rail guns it might be feasible to build one again. Not for slugging it out with ships, but as naval artillery. Then again, we would spend a fortune in R&D just to…

Them wearing out faster isn’t the issue.

The two issues you have to consider are keeping the ship builder in business and the time it takes to build a single aircraft carrier.

Keeping the ship builder in business is crucial, because not just anyone can build these. Once you disband the people that built them, you lose…

I’ve driven them both. Back in 09 when I opted for a mazda 3 hatch my second contender was a mazda miata. I test drove the crap out of z3's (6 cylinder only). It felt bloated.

Circle around to buying my 13 club spec. I cross shopped the twins, z4s, and used boxsters exclusively. The z4 is bloated too surprise surprise.

I…

No bloat at all, which is why your car weighs over 3200lbs. A Z3 weighs 2900lbs. The only thing to lol about is the excuses you need to tell yourself to believe this bs.

Z3 and Z4 always felt so bloated to drive. They were cushy. Do not feel like go karts. Always thought the BMW would appeal more to my father. Roomier and less harsh. A miata for a middle aged man that no longer wanted to sacrifice comfort for *fun*.

When it isn’t though we through money at the problem and give up when the body bags start coming home.

Depends on what the aim is. This is aimed for pure speed and frankly a manual has not been the key to that in years. Flipside is I’d rather have a few hundred other cars as a toy because this thing looks boring unless you are mashing the accelerator.

Trucks cause a disproportionate amount of damage to the road. Far more than the taxes they pay (both for plates and fuel) compensate. Triple trailers are just adding to that. Accidents are not the only thing to be concerned about when it comes to trucks.
