This is downright criminal stupidity. I wish I was important enough that I could go near these cars without being a fool.

A fascinating, albeit somewhat morbid, tale. Kudos.

Paddle-shifters on sub-200hp cars. A Sentra, not sure of which trim, comes to mind. No clutch on a car in that power range= pointless to shift, in my opinion.

IT WILL HAPPEN. I'll post at least a week in advance or so.

I vote that one day, preferably in early March, we have a Jalop 'Ring sesh on GT5. Seems like it'd be rather entertaining.

Depends on your downforce, but in a GT500 car with no aids besides ABS all you need to do is lift about 80 yards before Metz and power through about a second or so into it before braking for Kallenhard a little after.

I swear to drunk I wasn't God!

As someone who lives part-time in Miami, I can confirm that Biscayne Boulevard is a deathtrap only narrowly surpassed by the Palmetto Expressway. It's embarrassing.

I'd completely forgotten about #1... that really was an excellent article. Great list, and I'm glad to have been a part of it. :D

The AOTD from last week about taking cars back in time was probably my favorite, though several other articles including that Metro one come close... choosing among your favorite Jalopnik articles is kind of like choosing among your already favored children.

Televisions/DVD centers in cars. I know it's useful for minivans to make kids shut up, but it has no business being in the center console/passenger side of a car. That's just asking for it.

What a glorious description. :D

Usage of the Inception soundtrack + racecars= so much win.

Spa, Watkins Glen, Magny-Cours... I suppose it's a matter of taste, eh?

Epic. Well-done, sir.

In pictures, notwithstanding performance: Ford GT- 1, Corvette- 0. The scenery in Mosport is just too bland for my taste.
