Nice comparison, but amazing how the bar has been raised for performance brakes and handling over the years. Brembo’s inside 20" wheels, 245 section tires, 340 hp engine. It must be a beast on the track. (and a bastard in the snow)....

True, but the only reason that it will be afordable is because it’s based on a car that they make about 500,000 units of a year. Fast, Cheap, Exclusive; Pick any two......

RELAX.......

Oh, AF1 probably flew over one of their new South China Sea islands on the way.....

instead of EcoBurst?

Wow, it makes the GT cars look like slugs.

If it’s this Mark Panther, the real complaint is when he loads it into the trailer......

So, my wife’s 190,000 2002 Civic Si for 3900 is just broken in right? http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

Terrific article.

Yes, with Carbon Carbon brakes, they literaly have to cool it with money coming out of those ducts. Engineering has determined that $100 bills work best.

If you have ever wondered where all the dust comes during tire changes at LeMans, now you know.

Here’s a thought as a presenter - R0bb Holland.....

Yep, I am a dead ender, for example still have a land line. But there will be the day I move on from cable. Too much expense and channels I don’t need. Too many channels I want but don’t want to pay the bundle.

My suggestion is to put a video camera on that road and record the plates of similar Lexus Rx’s. What are the chances they drive this road every day.....

Century has it too, but come on, I missed the first two hours as golf was recorded on FS2 instead of the race. Hey cable companies, get your schedues together. Otherwise one of these days I am cutting the cable and streaming it all......

I think the front end damage happened because of going backwards into gravel and the splitter digging in backwards into the gravel.

All the sympathy in the world with Steff, but the facts are the decisions she made put her on a blind turn stopped. Had she pulled off the track, it would have been a very different article.

I don’t think it’s possible to comprehend what those bumps do to your spine in one of those cars. The body spring rate is several 1000 pounds per inch, making bump compression essentiall sold. Especially with an unpadded seat....... Hunter Ray afterward though he probably hurt his back.

That style of door is from a planet with no rainstorms or snow storms......

As for Simon, a hard core racer who has paid his dues has certainly deserved the win. As for the penalty, IF the marshals who scored every blend line move, sure penalize him. But they don’t, which puts them in a awkward moment when the camera catches them. Anybody here going to prove Simon was the only blend line…
