That is a touching story.

Wait, they're only using a 3 mile stretch of the road? I've done testing on that road for the past couple of years for SAE towing, the road is about 11 miles long, why are they not doing the entire length? What a lot of people don't realize is that HP and torque for this test is not nearly as important is your cooling…

+1 on Maxima, i had 2, one was 6 speed with HLSD in Pearl White. VQ35 is capable of 300 WHP with full boltons and sound sick. or with boost you talking 400/400 @ 8psi

I think the term "sleeper" was lost entirely with this one.

Subprime loans were common practice 20 years ago. I'm not sure how they work today, but here's how they did then...

At the lower tiers of the used-car racket, this isn't even a problem — it's part of the business model. In extreme cases, I've read, the same car is repossessed and re-sold (each time under terms that strongly favor the dealership) repeatedly.

Comparing subprime used car loans to subprime home loans is like saying it's just as deadly to get hit by a thrown bullet as it is to get hit by one shot out of a gun. We are talking about a fractional amount of money comparatively. Any excuse to talk about OMG TEH NEXT BUBBLE though I suppose..

That's like saying, "why buy a Zamboni when I can but a Cessna?"

Just show up in a nice car and wear a decent watch. Problem solved.

Noooo... Vector never made that much power. I mean it made a lot but 1,200bhp in the early '90s!?!?!?!? A curiousry glance on the interwebs is 650/649 bhp/ft-lbs. You're talking about doubling that figure.

"Horsepower is how fast you hit the guest's car in front of you and torque is how far you push it."

Yeah, that's just one way they cheat by adhering to a ridiculous interpretation of the letter of the law. The laws were things invented in prescientific prehistory to control behavior. The whole thing is absurd.

It's wrong. He didn't average 40mph.

Those Jaguar station wagons/sports-brake/avant (whatever they call them nowadays) look freaking sweet!!!

Yes it does. They are all douche bags. Each and every one of them. It was a parade of douche bags. When they a get in close proximity like that there's some kind of douche-to-douche attractive force field obviously. If the weren't douche's they would know how to drive. If they could drive, rather than just "speed"…

EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM IS INDEED A DOUCHE. These asshats with more money than brains who shouldn't be driving a car with more than 110 HP (because they can't drive) playing in traffic with other cars on the road going 30 or 40 MPH slower than they are...and they wreck.

You couldn't be more wrong. Here we spend more than any other country in the world

I worked at GM from June 2010 until September 2011. I graduated from RPI with a dual B.S. in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, cum laude. I interviewed for the GM position sometime in the middle of March 2010. It was my first job out of college. I spent my time working in Powertrain (Pontiac, MI) as a…
