Well that should cover the first 75 feet or so... Who's getting the rest? lol

Man- there is ZERO runout on that track for a new facility. Looks like something built in the 30's. what the heck is that?

Ya, not really- how about the airport trams in Detriot airport which haul ass into the station and then stop with their doors lined up precisely with the moving doors in the stations? Building a system to do this would be relatively easy actually.

This is obviously because the new cars are too quiet.

*Waits for tons of complaining about the new cars*

We have plenty of mountains in Utah, and they have roads on them. Thx :)

There's absolutely no reason for production costs of composite components to drop anytime soon. In fact if anything they will likely be going up in price- their proliferation has caused significant increases in material costs.

The materials are expensive and it's extremely labor intensive. To make matters worse it…

16v's were fun to drive when they ran. :)

I'm starting to think it's likely we see this version of the EA888 gen 3 in something- this is the 2nd time they've done a concept car with power right in that 400-420bhp range. Considering the mk7 golf R will likely come very close to that with a chip and bolt ons- I don't see it being unrealistic.

Yes, that car clearly slid into that pole at <10MPH, getting completely shredded and split in half, then bursting into flames. Because that's always what happens in low speed accidents with ridiculously strong carbon fiber tubs.

Yep, my dad has one and it's an awesome truck. It's also an incredible value compared to a Cayenne or a bmw X5 M etc.

Dachshunds love Porsches. My pair ride in the back of my 996tt in the tiny seats. :)

Because it weighs as much as the death star?

I would agree that traction isn't the issue. As you guys said- in one of the shots closer to the end you can see the GTR clearly jump the porsche off the line- about a half a second later the 991T rips past it...

However, I wonder if it's an aero thing as well- the 991 is "down" on power to the GTR and yet magically…

Buying cars to impress other people is a huge fail anyways.

Math > You... The GTR starting price is $99,950, so about $20k more, and that's base. As far as dealers marking them up- my experience is that GM dealers have a hard time getting stuff off the lot much over invoice, not the other way around :)

Let's compare it with the 911 or Panamera by profitability or market cap, not unit volume. ;)

No. 6061 T651 yield strength 37ksi... A36 steel - 36ksi... The aluminum will be significantly LOWER strength then that in welded regions as this will wipe out that T651 heat treatment... 6061-O (annealed, like near a weld) only has a yield strength of 17ksi- or just about half that of A36 steel.

Did I mention that A36…

Well, these engines use approximately 500-600+ cubic feet of air per minute. The charge piping, even on a long setup (street car) holds a couple of cubic feet. So, while it is true, it is a very small advantage there- especially considering that they can use the MGU to build boost pressure even before it is actually…

I agree, some of those conclusions don't make any sense from an engineering point of view. Like having to rely less on it's MGU-T unit for quick spool because of less intercooler piping... What about the added inertia of a turbo shaft which is now 5 x or more longer then it originally was? I would also guess this…

Normal seats at 17"- these seats at 18"... How on earth would they find an extra 17" to add a 10th seat? There is only 9" extra inches used up by the wider seats... The isle's are as narrow as always I'm sure.
