The collaboration between Chevy and Lotus on the all aluminum LT5 engine designed for the C4 ZR1 Vette.

Back in the late 90s my brother disconnected 2 spark plugs wires from his buddy’s v6 minivan. The guy started it up and didn’t realize anything was wrong (he wasn't very car savvy) and proceeded to drive home. He tells his dad something’s not right on the van and they take it to the mechanic, who tells them 2 plug…

I feel a Miata engine swap story coming on, don't let me down guys!

This is proper Jalop!

The knob was understandable from a progression standpoint, it captures much of the same benefits of a lever and makes it more compact, it just seemed odd... quirky but not a ‘problem’.   I think I'm just becoming an old stick in the mud.

I never said I couldn't figure it out.

I know all about Chrysler’s push button TorqueFlite, thanks.

Good insight

Hyperbole, it's a hell of a drug....sorry my excitement and rage apparently got the better of me.

I think the biggest issue for me on these button systems is that there’s no consistency across brands and they all seem to be throwing whatever they can at the wall and seeing what sticks.

What is this garbage?!  I had no idea engineers were going to these lengths to make getting into the correct gear such a nightmare!  The FCA knob was bad enough but this....what is this!?

Oooff, I got kinja’d or I fat fingered on my mivile., I'll let you decide.

I don’t remember who it was but someone at Oppo turned me on to this channel a few weeks back, good stuff over at Robot Cantina!

It's almost amazing Lancia didn't survive...these types of engineering decisions just seem so logical. It's the buyers who are idiots!

And granny shifting.

This is great info, thanks.

Agreed here, the click-baity title aside (nerve-wracking would have been a better choice instead of terrifying) I think this is what we want to see in our early stage auto-piloting footage, cautious leaning towards confident.

Upgrading the stock run-flats to a non-runflat Pilot Sport a/s+. Those things are great if you're in a non-snow climate although I've heard some say they do snow well enough, but can't comment there. Great tires are a critical buy for a car!

One to Gary Busey... haha, great measurement scale!

How do most insurance policies view a track day?
