it’s actually pretty refreshing to have a “non-celeb” do such a big/reknown project. He’s talented so what’s the problem.

I don’t mind them... but they are a bit too “boy-racer”... i had to look up the old R, and it didn’t have them, so i would option them off! I prefer the sleeper look anyway

Harris is a straight-shooting, professional, skilled, mature journalist... almost polar opposite of the chest-beating, schoolboy, class-clown, Clarkson.

just make sure you pull it at 65k feet to get your money’s worth..

yup i still remember those commercials on t.v. with the family guy revving his cayenne turbo in his driveway

But if only we can garner some kind of superficial public support for our secretly developed, price-is-no-object, publicly funded, war machine... what would be the best way to patronize some of the general pop. so that they aren’t up in arms?

I saw a nice brabus when I was there in ‘14... Saw some ferraris too

yup, as long as it’s not lethal or too debilitating, I don’t mind some painful lessons learnt

i was thinking lotus esprit

meh.. it’s specs are underwhelming... 4.9s 0-60... somehow i don’t buy the 193 mph top speed. My ls3 camaro can pull harder

even so, how hard is it to reign in like 280 ft/lbs

It was about triumph and bravery.. about having the spirit to go against what you’re “told” to do, for the sake of freedom, exploration, and growth, and what you otherwise would not experience. This is something that everyone can relate to...

Uh, no I gave a better answer on the original post....

this is the first gen to really be designed to compete with the world... it is now fair game to be directly compared, and with that comes all the hesitation and reluctantcy you expect.

Well GM has really entered the fold with this latest gen of cars... This is the first gen of cars really designed to compete with the best in the world... it is no longer an isolated, politically protected, domestic market.. Perhaps this is the result we should have anticipated considering all the top notch…

I don’t know how you are framing your comparisons.... a 350r is already 10% better than a 350 .... A 1le will lap a 350

yeah... it’ll be the dodge dart nitro hellbear srt-6

or an ats-v for 6k less?

I know this is the “alpha” but the ats-v seems even more like a stellar package with this thing in the lineup

needs an ls3 for that old school lope

reminds me of the cringe-worthy time the kid at the nicest caddy dealer in town, who pulled my car up after general maintenance forgot(didn’t know) to take the car out of gear before shutting it off... Needless to say I did not appreciate the massive lurch forward
