Nice as a well-sorted, resto-mod homage to the Corvair might be, I think I might personally like to get a little crazier with it. Something like what a tuning shop called Crown did with them back in the '70s:

I'd bet serious money that people feel more favorable about him because just about his entire presidency was pre-financial-meltdown. Fuel was cheap, cars were cheap, credit was cheap, everyone's house was gaining value like it was made of solid gold. Despite the constant fear-mongering that went on, it was a very easy…

Why do a hybrid? A straight-up 2.4 running on E85 fuel will make 450hp to the wheels for a long-ass time. Set aside $1200 for shot-peening, WPC, and cryo treatment and the bottom-end will last at that power level almost indefinitely.

I understand that distinction, but those examples are all happenstance. You were trespassing and happened to get injured, you were in a car chase and happened to crash. Even if it's bullshit that they won damages while doing something illegal, that is much different than what's going on with Gilbert. In Gilbert's case…

I hate how his defense is based on the fact that he was paying for certain 'services rendered' and not receiving those services is what made Frago's actions a "theft". Those services are illegal! You can't pay for sex! That is not a thing you are allowed to do! How can they say she stole his money when he couldn't…

Lol, kindof. It is a bit aesthetically dodgy. That's why I went for white LEDs, least garish of the various styles. When the lighting is turned off though, it's a pretty normal-looking keyboard. Honestly, the photos of them really aren't flattering. It really depends on how hard-over you are on feel. If you like the…

I'd be surprised if Ford didn't take the opportunity to widen the rear track at least a little bit. When you've already dropped the cash to design a whole new IRS system, pulling the rear track out a bit wider is basically free. Feels like it would be silly not to improve the car's stability and stance when it's so…

The lighting on Deck keyboards is amazing, the best of any keyboard out there. Individual, dimmable LEDs which can be shut off completely. The way the lighting is controlled is super-slick. Deck split the right-side ALT key into a smaller key and wedged a special "FN" key in next to it. You simply hold down the FN key…

Came here to say this! The Deck Legend is pricey, but the quality of its construction is second to none. I had wanted a mechanical keyboard for a long time and I thought I wanted one with Cherry MX Brown switches. A friend of mine then acquired a Ducky keyboard with MX browns. I tried it, liked the tactile "clicky"…

The Neon SRT-4 isn't as bad as the Caliber SRT-4:

Haha, what I love about it is how the linked article says that this new, awful ink is: "located near many other tats that the singer has collected over the years"

Ahh, those were the days

Even with a manual, a stock Challenger SRT8 drives like an SUV. No joke, feels just like a Honda Pilot only faster and a (tiny) bit lower to the ground. It's roughly as big too. Needs about 800 horsepower to feel exciting.

You've got it backwards mate. It's too much fuel, not enough air. The throttle plate snaps shut when you suddenly lift off the gas pedal, cutting off the air supply. At the same time, a little bit of fuel is still being injected (to combat sudden lean-out and prevent nasty detonation). Super-heated, unburned fuel gets…

There was much rumbling that the C7 would ditch the transverse leaf spring IRS setup. However, these rumors haven't panned out and it's been confirmed that the C7 will retain some semblance of the Corvette's original layout. It will look something like this:

Ahh, haha, didn't know the time-frame you were talking. And that figures. Make one bit stronger and you'll just break something else.

Huh. If the diff's internals were truly all metal you could always get them WPC treated. Bet you'd never blow it up then.

Haha, that would be pretty badass. However, I think a pressurized suit would seriously fuck with a driver's spatial awareness and ability to cleanly articulate their body. Screw it, just develop inertia dampers! G-diffusers! Sci-fi it up!

+1

Why not make a separate series? Money for one. More significantly though, even early active-downforce cars beat the shit out of their drivers. Imagine what might have happened after another decade or so of development. Active downforce technology has the potential to generate G-force in fast corners that would make an…
