You're right about the ZR1's time, but Mero went back and did a 7:22:68 in a Z06.

Watching this vid reminds me of Clarkson's drive in the Reliant Robin.

Well, there's been a second round of Audi vs. Ferrari, this time on the Muslanne straight.

That Octavia looks like they just put a C-Class inspired front end on a Mk4 Jetta.

This provided all the motivation I needed.

How could y'all forget the Ronal Bear?

I guess they didn't have 4 VW Amaroks around.

How old is this video? That cop car looks like a Caprice to me.

Increasing the gas tax would work if everybody drove gas powered cars. But cars like the Leaf and the Volt would pay little to no tax despite the fact that they are sharing the roads with the rest of us. And they need to pay with the rest of us. I don't like the idea of the per mile tax, but I can't think of…

This is what I don't understand: We're always reading about some car we want but can't have because the predicted low sales volume doesn't justify the cost to certify the car. So how does it profit Nissan to bring over a vehicle that - assuming it only sees NYC cab duty - will probably sell less than 40k units over…

The other thing to note is that none of these have airbags, with the exception of the Acura and maybe the Porsche.

Something worth considering here is the way in which we buy cars, which is typically just taking something off the dealer's lot. Including myself, I can quickly come up with 9 people who can drive and have owned a manual transmission car, but I'm the only one that will let that transmission choice affect my car…

Might be a moot point with this beast, as it's as long as a Suburban, if not longer.

OK, I get the Corolla having a higher top speed in reverse. What I don't get is why the Ferrari didn't spank the Corolla off the line. Even with the lower top speed, it should have gotten there a lot faster.

Other than the generic BMW silver over black color scheme, this car ticks all my boxes.

I think a contributing factor in all this is the credit rating game. If you know you have tier 1 credit, it's easy to find out what the rates are and getting self financed is pretty easy. But if you're not tier 1, you are at a serious disadvantage. First you have to find out what your score is. That's easier now…

RE: #5. I believe that the car also has to be in that dealer's inventory to get the hold back. I remember back in '96 being at a dealer with a friend who wanted a Cavalier of all things. I don't remember the trim level, but she wanted power windows and locks. We came in with an offer that would have given them about…

It's not the making a profit, it's the manner in which they go about it.

Well, that's an IDOT truck, not a private tow, and their primary goal is clearing the roadway, not protecting the car. That being said, with the car facing the wrong way on the left shoulder, I'm surprised that they didn't shut down traffic so that they could hook it up from the front.
