Haha, all pretty typical I'm afraid. Right down to her 'game-ness' in that she has an affinity for going after small, furry mammals. Stand-off-ish towards dogs (unless heavily socialized), hugely attracted to people. Weird grunting/snorting noises. Each pittie is unique in their own way, but they have a remarkably…
The three moles aren't well known in general for some reason. Breeders, rescue volunteers and other pit-centric people always seem to know it off-hand. I guess lay-people are more concerned with the big, blocky heads, scary teeth and all that. I helped foster dogs for a couple of years and picked up lots of tips on…
A joke. Right. Because that isn't the most over-used defense for saying something stupid in the history of language.
What new posting policy? Since when does Kotaku have a posting policy? This site has to have the lowest standard of commentators out of all the Gawker Media sites. I'll call out terrible reading comprehension in any forum. I give no shits as to who thinks that's a good or bad thing to do.
The modern turbo stuff is pretty amazing like that. Though direct injection will make this new Caddie engine a little trickier to tune correctly. Still shouldn't be too much of a problem for the pros.
+1 on the idea of stuffing it into the ATS to make an ATS-V. Maybe turn up the boost for a symbolic extra 10-20 horsepower. Granted, a round 450 bhp has a nice ring to it. Probably couldn't (or shouldn't) put a V8 in there anyway.
Holy shit! That upshift and sudden burst of acceleration at 0:11 looks/sounds phenomenally badass.
Doesn't seem odd to me. Unlike driving, that's a situation you have complete control over. There's little chance that some other person who is drunk or texting could come along and wipe you out while you're working on your car.
I absolutely hate the dismissive attitude that people have towards your driving anxiety. I'm saying this as someone who loves to drive. I built my own car from pieces of about a dozen other cars. I hate automatic transmissions. Owning and using an automobile is one of my great joys in life. That said, I can absolutely …

you were right, there shouldn't be
Well sure; that's what a lot of teams who use turbos do in Formula D, but their goals are much different than those of a street tuner. Nitrous-based anti-lag systems guzzle N2O at an unbelievable rate. That's fine when you can swap bottles between drift runs, but a lot less optimal for a street car. Such is why…
No nitrous, there's no need for it with this much boost. Those are definitely straight dump-to-atmosphere wastegate outlets.
