monthly payments!

Generally the amount of extra weight (of a DSG/PDK) is more than easily made up for in shift times over a long lap. GT3 is the same. Saving a few tenths EVERY shift. That’s a lot.

aha the wheels! totally didnt notice that

“which explains its aggressive angles, massive NACA ducts” I dont see any NACA ducts? I love the auto-shifter straight out of an 80s Maxima! Shit, I love everything about it. 28k GBP is a lot, plus Ive already got my very own unusual 80s Nissan - an R31.

And those step-ladder rear vents (on the 488)...

Its not ugly, but the 458 was much prettier. I think this is a very popular opinion actually.

Exactly - who else is gonna drive it in a wall? Not poor people.

oh no!! was someone racist against an old rich white man!! call the PC police!! pfft

You’ve got lambo doors, you’ve got gullwing doors, and you’ve got broom handle doors. Which one do you think this one is?

It looks like it was designed (and built) by 9 year olds. That interior...

Just like in old (up to 92ish) 911s! heat.

EDIT: Yes, in many ways the racism is worse. But it’s evident and called out. To not call out the way he treats her is to normalize it. Poor choice of words on my part to say “even stronger”. I didnt expect all the response so peace out brothers and sisters XD and keep loving each other :)

Like there’s no racism in America because black president. If 90% of F1 drivers are rich, and Lewis Hamilton wasnt, its still overwhelmingly in favor of being rich. Heartwarming anecdotes will still exist :-)

That Esprit doesnt deserve the name. Too generic. The Elan is nice. I’m glad they were vaporware and Lotus gets to live on (firmly in reality).

The then-CEO fraudster Danny Behar commissioned a bunch of prototypes - this, Elite, Elan and new Elise. None of which made it.

Yeah we have innate abilities for language, reflex etc. these can be developed further or under-utilized.

“a broad range of people” who have access to karts as children! I’m not saying you have to be the sultan of bruneii...

If only god could give us a brand new go-kart!

Genetic influence is small compared to 10,000 hours of practice, access to equipment etc etc. The case study of professional hockey players showed that even date of birth was a huge factor, because the ones born in January were stronger at age 8 or 9 than kids in that sports age group born later in the year.
