But this seems to be the RWD P85, or at best the P85D, which is about 2 seconds slower on the quarter mile.

With that comment you have beaten me ;-)

They put their garden center in the dunes?

Local Walmart? Garden center? Oh wait I got it: Home depot to buy a hammer and the smallest package of nails available.

Or you could pay $3000 on a cylinder head. I mean of course this could work just fine, but statistics speak against it. I hope we will see how this turns out, but I really doubt that there would be any substantial savings by buying a 600k mile 996 Turbo.

You mean they have the rebadged Mitsubishi iMiev. They could do the same with the Bolt, but I doubt they will do engineering work on the Bolt platform.

But PSA doesn’t engineer on GM platforms and vice versa.

I came here to wank off watch at car pictures and get my mind off politics.

But if they get sold, they will definitely loose all rights to build on the Bolt and Volt platform. So they’d be quite far away from an electric GT.

It could be, but I still think McLaren would charge too much for most to even consider it. They just lack the volume to produce cheaply enough.

Everything has ware out, even the chassis and the engine block and the seat adjustment and the mirror adjustment motor and the door hinges. If of course every single thing has been replaced, the car is as good as new, but I doubt that this has been the case here. The ad even says it had a turbo upgrade, which will…

You can use a car indefinitely, but at some point it becomes more and more costly. And don’t forget this is statistics, there could be some lucky guy out of a thousand getting to 600k miles, without major issues, but the other 99.9% would go through hell, before they would get there.

There is something called failure rate. And each component has its own failure rate. If you look closely to the graph, you’ll see that failure rate decreases first, but then increases again. This is the reason why some believe high milage cars are especially reliable, which is actually true, but only to a certain…

Or they would buy the cheaper AMG V12 that Pagani is using. I think it Lotus, Bristol or Arial really wanted, they could easily buy McLaren motors, but again, they are rather expensive. They just wouldn’t work in cheaper cars.

Because they would be extremely expensive? The American crate engines are, comparatively, cheap (A LS9 is still 25k), because they are used in trucks and therefore are built in high enough numbers. McLaren builds a few hundred a year and their engines are more sophisticated than the LS9. So nobody would ever buy their…

I thought the only electric Opel models would be rebranded Chevys? How much work does slapping a different badge on it actually take?

Actually Chevrolet is the Skoda of GM, no actually they might even be the Dacia of GM.

Ford Execs, proposing for lowered fuel economy standards, are thinking about the future. There might be no customers on earth anymore, but you can drive your F150 to the shops on Venus just as well.

I imagine you like to wear stockings. I don’t know if its true or not, but since its out now, maybe I could interest you in a well aged 800k mile Porsche some day. Things only go better with more milage, that’s common wisdom.

But those things that were replace many times over will need replacement again. Even more, things that were never meant to be replaced will start giving up now and those are usually the parts most expensive to buy.
