Knock-off Ferrari styling with a muscle-car heart? I wonder which currently produced car fits that description?

Would a 2-3000 pound car with 760hp with street-legal tires actually be able to not put the power down in anything but bone dry 100 F asphalt?
The point of bringing up the GM LS/LTs is to illustrate that it IS possible to make a large displacement, pushrod engine with all the associated advantages (oodles of low-end torque from idle, relative simplicity, reliability etc), but which doesn’t fall flat on its face in other applications.
A Porsche 964 Carrera from the late 80s, also air cooled, with only 2 Valves per cylinder, makes 228 torques from 220 cubic meters, so 30 years on, Harley’s latest and greatest engine has similar tq/ci while reving lower and having less specific output, brilliant!
But the Corvette’s engine does exist, it’s a 6+L pushrod v8 that revs decently, has specific output and torque that beat the pants off this Harley, a huge usable owerband without sacrificing much of anything in reliability, excusing HD here is pretty ridiculous.
When GM could get OHV engines with more than 3x the displacement, 4x the cylinders and tougher emissions standards to Rev higher and get much higher specific output, HD has no excuse.
“It’s also worth $256,500 (or $336,822 Canadian like my example), basically the price of a nice middle-class home.”
Matt Farah had a video driving a 986 cayman with a coyote shoved into it, given the LT2 is likely narrower and lower, it’s certainly not out of the question...
A chassis made for hertz rentals on a relatively affordable 2+2 coupe handles worse on track than a bespoke Carbon Monocoque for a $250k+ supercar? How totally unexpected!
Given that the GT350 is the first and likely only 8000rpm, NA, flat plane V8 mustang ever to exist I’d be surprised if used prices don’t go back up as soon as the newer gen mustang is out and they are manufacturing these things anymore.
As an HKer, now that there’s FINALLY a big typhoon heading directly our way, it decides to make landfall on a Sunday of all days so we don’t even get a typhoon break, damn this thing.
I think “fan-powered” scooter might be a more appropriate headline since “jet” immediately implies something hanging off an airliner rather than a tabletop fan...
Are they gonna use the barely functioning pile of garbage known as Gamebyro to make this game again?
It astounds me that no luxury car manufacturer has had the balls to create a luxury/high-performance minivan, and are meanwhile trying to stuff 500/600hp V8s onto less-practical, higher CG crossovers and selling them as luxury performance vehicles. Don’t tell me there’s no market for a luxury minivan when Siennas and…
That straight-6 needs to be in a AMG GT ASAP, the world deserves 2 Supra replacements after all the time we were deprived of the original.
As someone not from the states who lived in Chicago for a couple of years: How and why the heck are all your cars (not even particularly old ones at that) super rusty?
For what the value of the house we rent on is worth right now, we could buy 8 Ferraris, and not just some California, 488s. With a 911 Turbo to spare as well..
Some of the most wealth off guys I know are also some of the most frugal/cheap with spending on depreciating assets.
$1.94 a liter would be considered extremely cheap here. Fuck this gay expensive stupidly unequal politically un-free shithole otherwise known as Hong Kong.
Given that an LMP3 car is likely going to be cheaper than this car to buy irl, how would this car compare to the LMP3 assuming both have slicks?
