I’ve seen a few Gen6 Mustangs, but I race with the Porsche Club, so it’s rare to see a non-Porsche. The Corvette and F80 M3/M4 are the few recurring exceptions.

Forgive me, but I don’t understand the point of comparing the specific outputs of pushrod and DOHC engines.

Gearing can’t make up for a lack of torque.

If we’re going to bring racecars into the mix, it’s only fair to acknowledge the 18,000 RPM screamers from F1's V10 era.

Idk, maybe size, weight, COG, torque, efficiency and reliability? I’ve seen countless Corvette’s at trackdays, but few M3’s, and never an E92.

The LS engines are the antithesis to DOHC. There is simply no compelling argument in favor of DOHC over an LS engine.

I second your motion.

That figure doesn’t tell the whole story. In the same way you can’t raise today’s children for the world you were raised in, you can’t compare yesteryear’s wages with the value of today’s goods and services.

The products are cheaper. Remember when flash drives cost $30 for 128mb? Now you can buy 2tb for that price.

I would be extremely surprised if even 20% of Toyota owners got them serviced even once in the cars lifetime. I suspect half of them haven’t had their oil changed in the last 30K miles, and still have the original brake fluid.

See here’s the thing: Japanese cars don’t require maintenance.

“The tenets of capitalism keep wages low, but raise prices as high as they will go for max profit.”

We need to talk about image-heavy articles.

I suppose this is the first travelogue I’ve seen (I learned a new word today!), so perhaps that’s my issue. I certainly enjoyed James’ previous shows (Cars of the People, Toy Stories).

Meh.

Anyone else remember the Mazda MX-5 Superlight? Because even peasants enjoy getting bugs in their teeth!

Personally, for a car to be considered “most important,” it must meet one of the following criteria:

Isn’t that Dany Behar’s Lotus Elan concept?

College in other nations is also...shit...compared to American universities. My semester abroad in Sydney was an absolute joke. Enormous class sizes, understaffed, absolutely zero resources, painfully easy curriculum, etc. As an architecture student, I was accustomed to having a dedicated studio with my own private…
