That video is a good illustrator for why they literally spend more on dampers than what the car sticker’d for when it was new.

Gearbox and tires/suspension. The Camaro has a TH400, torque converter and all. With the gear reduction, it has way more torque off the line than the Rimac would. The torque converter allows the suspension and driveline to be loaded up for the launch (no need for a trans brake on an EV), the drag slicks and suspension…

That doesn’t sound right.... I think you mean that the Camaro runs the 1/4 faster than your Charger runs the 1/8?

Ditto. I drove like a complete fucking dickbag in high school. I cringe when I think of some of the things I did... I’m lucky I didn’t kill anybody, let alone have a nasty wreck or lose my license.

Agreed. I’ve known a lot of people over the years who owned “10-second cars” that didn’t have 10-second timeslips.

I hate to say it, but electric just plain makes more sense for drag racing.

Or, alternatively: 

Sales tax is a one-time thing in car ownership though. If I buy a car in Montana, then move to Connecticut, I don’t have to pay sales tax on a car I already own when I register there.

There’s always a certain atmosphere to the late night road trip gas station. It’s quiet, well lit, and safe. You get to top up your tank after not being 100% sure you had enough gas to make it to an open station. The store has virtually any kind of beverage or snack one can imagine. You get to stretch and take a piss…

Ha, no worries broseph, I wasn’t so much doing a dig on you as I was trying to trigger a seizure in Mr. Pedanterson.

Agreed. They’re nice rims as far as rims go, and there are plenty of cars these rims would look amazing on, but these rims just don’t go with the aesthetic of the rest of the truck.

What if I just really love Fig Newtons?

According to Google, the Chiron has 1500hp and costs $3.26 million.

Mechanical sympathy. FoST’s are cool.

More like Initial D-bags, amirite?

Ehhhhh... High load at low rpm for any extended amount of time can be bad news.

Blowing through tolls with no plates in a McLaren is about as far from “trying to fly below the radar” as you can possibly get.

To me it was always a doppelganger of the previous gen Grand Prix coupes

Wow... I always assumed Richard Simmons never fathered any children. Good for him.

A bus with a top speed of 8 mph... in Florida, where it doesn’t snow... On a route that is apparently safe enough to test an autonomous vehicle?
