Many years ago I was at Lime Rock with the SCCA and Newman showed up with a crew and raced a Camaro in GT1. I was in ITS so we were never on the track together but it was a great experience. This was well after he was diagnosed but he spent a lot of time in the paddock and was approachable. I remember him not doing…

It becomes very important when you trade in your $80,000 Porsche turbo on a new GT3 for $150,000 and live in a state like NY that has an 8.5% sales tax. You save almost seven grand in taxes.

If you think the Miata even deserves to be mentioned with the rest of these cars, you should be banned for life.

I have been on my roof once, in a race car with a full cage, I doubt you would be ok in a bad flip in a Boxter, especially if you are at a sandy track. Those bars would dig in and most people don’t pass the “broom test” with a helmet on.

I have a 2004 S500, purchased used and have put over 45,000 miles on it with nothing but oil changes and a few small repairs I did my self. These cars drive like nothing else, I feel I will be spoiled for anything less.

Sorry but I can't watch any racing where hitting someone in the rear to move them out of the way is condoned and not penalized in any way. The god of the sport Dale Sr. built his reputation on pushing people out of the way to get to the front.

I don't consider the V8 Audi that exotic, sort of like my Porsche Carrera S, nice but somewhat ordinary. Now if it had the V10, that's special . Porsche 997 turbos go for about that, my dream car a GT3 unfortunately are priced well above that.

Grey is the new “old man tan”.Ever notice how many 80’s era Camarys are that horrible golden tan, with a bland tan interior.

The colleges and educators are a major problem, not everyone should go to college, some don't have the aptitude and spending 4 years, bearly passing and receiving a worthless degree sets students up for failure. I see many young people with worthless degrees like "women's studies" or some of the cultural studies…

Great article, you should send it to the White House since Obama has no idea what the F#@k is going on.

Wow did Alanso make the wrong move this year, both Hondas retire before the race ended. I would have thought Honda and Mclaren would have been more prepared for this year, looks like a bust.

I will preface this by saying I raced in the SCCA for 15 years and have totaled 2 race cars, one was my fault, the big one where I ended up on the roof at the bridge at Lime Rock was not.

Great, now bring him over to America. Call it something else and make it here, Clarkson would love it, the ultimate FU to the BBC.

My good friend is an insurance agency owner, he tells me that the largest portion of insurance is based on occupant safety since the people inside the vehicle cost more to fix than the vehicle it self. That's why my newer Mercedes costs less to insure than my Contour SVT did, even though the contour would be much…

I amagine you are a youngster who thinks war is a drone flying over a far flung country and making a surgical strike on the "enemy".

Perfect, bring him to the USA, our Top Gear sucks. I am sure he could fix it.

I was just there and they have it in stock, it's $149 a roll. It's thick and no problem with jack stands, had my Suburban on the stands and it didn't even leave a mark.

Both of the jags will cost at least $80-100 grand to restore, it's almost always better to buy someone else's restoration, unless you can do metalwork and paint and don't care about the cost of sweat equity. And it still will not come out as nice as a marque specific restorer. I have a few Porsche's so I know a…

Last year I watched someone die lane splitting. I was driving to work, the 4 lane road with a center turn lane always backs up at a major intersection. I was about 1/4 mile back so the traffic was slow or stopped, the person in the left lane and I both stopped at a light, even though it was green, not to block the…

The panels had to have gaps, when they got very hot at speed they expanded and closed the gaps, without the space they would have buckled.
