... the 2015 Z07 gets 17/29 mpg, city/hwy, the 2015 911 Turbo S get 17/24.

Especially considering GM/Chevy seems to do damned fine with cylinder deactivation and all that in the Corvette... I can’t understand how they can’t get decent *highway* mileage out of this car. I would understand city, because f=ma, but highway? ... weird.

lol I’m in literally the exact same boat. would’ve loved to go that direction, but tech pays the bills ;)

This. Seriously most people don’t understand just how much money Russia DOESN’T have. They spend a lot proportionally on their military and exercise outsize political power due to natural resource controls, but they’re by no means wealthy... at ALL.

You know now that you are obligated to elaborate on this story, right? Dropping in with such tease of a tale without giving us the rest is just poor form ;)

Pretty sure the US would actually love it (despite public cries otherwise). Insight into how well Russia and its allies integrate? Into their present tactics? Into what their deployable force strength looks like?

Sounds like an intelligence agency’s dream.

Looks like an interesting simulation for a game dev to pick up and actually make a game out of... this, however, has a super boring art style, no textures, and no actual polygonally-represented cars. Pretty sure there’s not an actual game here.

They don’t anymore. This stopped after troopers were killed (or nearly killed) doing it.

They’ve stopped the practice several years back for that reason. Enough people (both servicemembers and the public) complained that it was stupid and it stopped.

Very unlikely... both because GPS-guided munitions don’t make great boat-killers, and because that’d look SUPER awful for the US if it ever got out. I mean could you imagine the press on that? Good lord.

No mention of Star Citizen/CIG given this article? Probably the most extensive relationship between developer/video game ever. Might’ve been relevant.

This only makes me lust for the time when NFS got semi-serious with its love for cars and cranked out Porsche Unleashed, a rare gem of the series. If they could make anything that good again, I’d swoon and cherish the brand once more......

Doesn’t have to do with taking your hand off the wheel, this was a under-power shift that broke loose the rear end, and the driver didn’t catch it in time.

Speaking of emails, your Aviationist site is screwed up. I’m trying to read the PAK-FA close up article and I can’t get by the survey request. Clicking “take me to the site” just puts me right back at the request to take the survey.

I didn’t realize the Soviets had forgotten their SAM’s had wheels? I guess Soviet armor advances certainly wouldn’t have featured contested airspace, since the Soviets would’ve left their SAM’s at home (considering the “forgotten wheels” and all that...)

To all folks arguing “airframe is old, should be retired”: please see Mr. B-52. Arguments invalid.

This just in:

MOTORIST KILLED BY PASSING CLOUDS

I mean... what was wrong with them simply doing the normal partnership with the ACTUAL USAF? I mean it was one thing when Paramount couldn’t get real MiG’s for Top Gun during the actual Cold War, but really? They couldn’t get real USAF fighters?

those were the cars in the beginning of 2F2F.
