Not surprised. For people who would be new to drag racing or still inexperienced, an automatic is going to always allow for better consistency. The skill cap required to consistently get faster times out a manual in a car like this is very, very high.

And no wagon and/or diesel version? Why are you even reporting on this? Does it even come in brown?

I’m 87.5% certain your 90% claim is 100% inaccurate. I’m 100% certain you are wrong about no one ever owning one. People have bought far worse cars for far worse reasons.

I guess Jalopnik shouldn’t ever write about Ferraris, Lamborghinis, M3s, M4s, M5s or any other car that costs more than $80k since those cars will only ever be owned by trust fund babies or 75 year old boomers by your metrics. There are many interesting and expensive cars in their own rights. I don’t see anyone…

The tires come in the “Demon Crate”, which is their version of a track pack. It’s literally in the picture, lol. Untwist them panties a little.

Just saw it live on Instagram😍😍😍

All flatheads are non-interference. A side effect of having the valves nowhere near where they’re supposed to be is that they can’t be anywhere the piston will be. Ever.

I reallllllly wanted to just live in that small Kansas town until I fixed it, so I could drive it in, but Freddy wasn’t having it.

I’m fixing it in Moab, and then off-roading it.

I want to drive it home, but Patrick won’t let me. I think my coworkers legitimately think I’m ill.

Oh; when you put it that way, it makes more sense.

That guy leaving a cylinder head sitting out for you, that’s the real hero of this story. Doesn’t know you from Adam, “sure, I’ve got a spare, I’ll just put it where he can find it, you tell him where to go...”

I had a girlfriend tell me the same thing.

Congratulations on finding a new failure mode! :-)

A Jeep so janky, scientists are still discovering new means of failure.

So is Krispy Kreme

I’ll guess it now, production 911 RSR test mule. Porsche is putting its race car on the road.

Mid engine mule?

Giving tree has zero fucks left to give.

CP just because the ad says “have a creative and healthy day”. Also because of the whole frathouse shitter scene on the inside. Ew.

This just looks like the bad guy of the week’s car on an episode of Miami Vice.

This is what I intend to call my penis from now on.
