Because crashes do happen in racing and it is lazy if a SIM doesn’t accurately represent that damage. Especially if the IRL implications of the damage would impact handling and aero.

It’s the only reason there’s not one parked in my garage right now.

Brand loyalty is a mental disorder.

NASCAR’s been fuel injected since 2012

Now playing

I mean we don’t need KERS, but fuel injection might be nice. Ya know, something not 50 years old. If you want to watch classics racing, just watch the Goodwood Revival.

Road courses - a bunch

“but it was in no way equivalent to an act of actual war.”

Uh, I think you need to redirect your angst towards cable news more than anything else. GWB nor his gov we’re spewing that garbage.

Cool, but some idiot in strategic planning will be canned when no Americans buy these.

That announcement tweet really appeals to all the 22-year-olds who are gonna buy this.

Isn’t Scott known for being reckless during rallycross events? The dude literally drives like he’s diving into a corner on Gran Turismo. Funny enough, there’s an actual article of his escapades on iRacing and how he was suspended lol.

So, they invented legends cars?

All valid points. However:

This right here. The 0-100-0 stat is part of Shelby history. To not understand that when talking about the new GT500 and why Ford used it is to show a lack of that history.

Remember, back in the 1960s, most cars had terrible brakes and a lot of weight to handle. The Cobra legend arose because it was essentially a race car for

0-100-0 is a better metric to use than 0-60 or even 1/4 mile. It is 2 (TWO) metrics in one!

0 - 100 - 0 is a way better test than 0-60. No reason to hate on it just because it’s not common....if only more people cared about braking as much as they do accelerating.

As a former 944 owner I can’t hear you over my 5.7 liters of hoonage.
