I had an '87 300D, with the rare OM603 6 cylinder turbo-diesel engine:

"so Porsche can probably sue them to stop them from making money off their design"

"I've never seen a clear bra in my life"

Only if you buy a cheap, piece-of-shit product. 3M's clear protective film can catch a .22 caliber bullet and will never fade or turn yellow in the sun.

No, Reggie got an F40 for cheap. A real-deal, unmolested F40 will cost you around a million dollars these days. The Gas Monkey car was appropriately discounted for the condition it is in.

The Singer 911 is so much more expensive because it is a real Porsche, not a replica. The Lister Bell STR, faithful of a recreation as it may be, is not a real Lancia. It is way, way more difficult to do a resto-mod like the Singer than a ground-up kit car like the Lister. Just ask anyone who has experience restoring…

That's one of the nice things about hydrofoil craft (and an advantage they have even over catamarans, which they are being phased out in favor for). The surface of the water can undulate up and down while the 'wing' part of the craft continues in a relatively straight path. A hydrofoil boat can withstand a fairly…

Exactly the right idea. With looks like it has, there's only one thing to do ta' this Winnebago:

Not so fast on that one. While the Bugatti program itself has burned through mountains of cash on all that R&D, I don't know that the VAG itself as a whole won't eventually make that money back.

I suspect the first person ever to go WOT in it will see this:

Problem is, the paint job looks really nicely done. Changing the color without reducing the quality of the paint job would cost a fair few bucks. Wouldn't want to spend a couple grand on paint considering the sub-$3,000 purchase price.

It looks odd because it has those bigass vortex generators on each end (the bits that tip upwards like the wingtips of a Learjet). Because of their vast proportions they will definitely make big, tight vortexes of air down the side of the car. These spirals work in tandem with those super-deep side skirts to stop air…

Haha, yes, classic Labrador. If it shoots water, frozen or not, Labs will love whatever it is:

Yep. I was inclined upon reading this:

There are all kinds of upsides and downsides to different engine combos in FD.

D1 makes similar-ish peak output without nitrous, but peak power is of only moderate importance in Formula D. The most significant aspect of an engine for them, by far, is area under the curve. Just take a look at the dyno chart for Tony's current car, the one that Raphael drove for this article:

You think needing nitrous to make 500+ ft/lbs below 4000 RPM in a 2.4 liter, production-based engine makes someone a shitty engine builder? You're having a laugh. You clearly know both jack and shit about the current state-of-the-art in extracting reliable power from consumer-level internal combustion engines.

Meh, a reliable racing car is not the same thing as a high-quality road car. Also, I feel like the Diablo hardly qualifies as a product of Lamborghini's "early days".

Then you know exactly what I'm talking about. The Neon is nearly a direct descendant of the P-body and a lot of older Turbo Dodge DNA made it into that car. Some of those older cars can be made to handle just as well as any Neon for a similar budget.

That LeBaron could not be made to handle well because it is a J body car. If you want decent handling out of a TurboDodge you need to be pickier. L bodies and P bodies are much better for this.
