You're over-thinking this. I don't know how expensive they are, either, but I don't see how mandating them does anything to punish good car design in any way. It may not do anything to encourage good car design, but it doesn't punish it, either. Mandatory ABS, SC, and TPMS did nothing to punish good car design in any…

Thank you for your insight, Monica.

It's certainly possible, and it would be a smart move on their part.

Put two and two together?

But not on all of its offerings. I'm talking about offering it as standard on every single car they build, much like BMW Motorrad did when they made ABS standard on all of their bikes, well ahead of any legislation mandating it.

No, I'm not confident in the economy. Why? Congress is about to fuck shit up. Again. This is no longer a matter of party lines. This is a matter of all of them, on both sides, being a bunch of children who get paid way, way too much.

Best engine ever.

Why thank you, skaycog. One can never have too many Ford GTs, amirite?

I was totally expecting a Nigel meme right there. Nice move on surprising me.

Only if you find it beautiful; I do not. Also, the joke was a reference to the BRZ vs V6 Mustang meme, in which people harped on the argument that they could have a more powerful Mustang for less than the BRZ, not taking into consideration that the BRZ, outside of a drag race, is the better performer. In this case,…

The implicit issue in Pistol Pete's original (and sardonic) comment wasn't whether or not anybody cared about Jezebel's content, but rather that many Jalopnik commenters that have been there feel that they are, indeed, being somehow discriminated against and that they are criticized and treated unfairly on Jezebel.…

I did read your last sentence, and that wasn't the impression that I got from it. Acknowledging that casual sexism exists does not require an end to being politically correct - in fact, acknowledging the existence of casual sexism is a politically correct thing to do.

Yeah, I can understand that. I'm just saying that given the fact that they both fall in the same price bracket, the Corvette simply has what it takes to offer greater performance for the money. All bets are off past that, though.

Oh God, another "American cars can't turn!" troll.

Ha! I actually wound up coming in about the same when I was tinkering with it. But I'd be willing to bet you can do the exact same thing for the 4C when it finally comes out. And, as a bonus, you'll get the ugliest headlights in the world thrown in for free. And Spiegel, I know you've seen some ugly headlights before.…

I just can't find this thing sexy in any way. It's those damn headlights that just absolutely kill it in every way. Remember the "Smashing!" meme with the head of Nigel from that old Nickelodean cartoon poorly photoshopped onto the face of some actress? That's exactly the feeling I get every single time I see the…

Not quite; my bet is that a base C7 would likely be able to overpower the hell out of the 4C and outrun it in every meaningful way.

The point of Jezebel is not discriminative in any way. Jezebel is a website tailored to the interests of a given demographic, just like Jalopnik or Deadspin. In the case of Jezebel, that demographics is women. It's no different than how Jalopnik or Deadspin cater to their audiences. In the case of Jezebel, it is…

To put it in base terms, essentially, yes.
