It seems like they should contact one of the universities in the area (kansas state hint hint) and see if their A&P mechanics want to test one of their turbine rebuilds and subject it to some wind. Or, I believe University of Florida has a hurricane generator that would simulate sufficient winds.

How about the HPI rc drift car Torch was supposed to dole out for the Big Year competition, or did I completely miss the announcement and I lost?

Cant have a STOL thread without mentioning the Feesler Storch, and the PZL Wilga.

Subaru world of course! Oh wait... Dirtfish already offers that ;)

more curves. The section of I76 in western PA is my favorite stretch of interstate, followed by I24 though Tennessee when you get into the great mountain curvy part. PA is great because not only do you have awesome tunnels cut straight through frickin mountains, but you also get fantastic big long high speed sweeping…

Hyundai has been talking about hydrogen fueled cars for a while now. Thing is, hydrogen is a long way away from having any semblance of a usable infrastructure, and infrastructure is the key to a successful formula.

I got a bit confused when I found the Denim Chicken and the Bird with Teeth, but we made it through it.

Sooo.... Park it out side of a Trader Joes playing spotify. Got it.

I have always wanted to purchase a 10x10 mile plot of land, then meticulously make it super level and build it with better than autobahn construction and pave the whole sucker for any and all automotive related silliness. Just a big ass asphalt square in the middle of no where. You could to top speed testing, record…

Never thought the enzo would look dated. How wrong I was.

Good, maybe now we will get a CLA45 AMG BLACK series.

It looks like an LFA with downs syndrome.

As for the engine, Mansory's boosted the power to 730 horses, up from the standard 632 horse V12, because why not. They do seem to have added a bunch of gel keyboard rests to the engine cover as well, as that just always looks good.

Now they just need to couple the technology with blind spot monitoring and have it give you arrow indications similar to what Pratt and Miller does on the c6r and c7r race cars. Would be fantastic to have this, and simple arrows illuminate notifying my blind spot is currently occupied.

Could be, or they could look like the rx8 does to us now :)

I disagree. The 370 z looks modern, like it belongs, the 350z looks straight out of Irobot/minority report 2004.

Ugh, it was for the better lets be honest, that was the worst interpretation of a corporate grill. However I am grateful it happened, because out of that terrible abomination, the hawk eye wrx/STI was born, and I love the way my car looks.

God damn little smarts are strong.

Thanks for the info man, makes perfect sense, they're so concerned over the chassis, its surprising they allow the engine mfg's to share technology to other teams.

as long as it is priced competitively with the 456 speciale I don't see a problem, thats the purpose of this car is it not?
