But thanks to NASCAR/USCC, we may likely get to see this bad boy in action on American soil! As an engineer, I'm personally excited to have another technologically-advanced series come to our race tracks.

Yeah, I don't really know. 7:08 at the 'ring is pretty darn quick. But P&M is capable of pure magical wizardry. I would love to see a C6 RS make a run just to find out. However, for normal race use, the C6 RS all the way. Pratt setups are amazing, and they would probably set it up for a particular track for you, so

Boy, that is clever how they hung that rear wing! Porsche Motorsport is always a fun one to watch.

I'm sticking with it, and here's why: the GT-R is a technological powerhouse with all its systems designed to make it go fast. Basically, that means a lot of driver-assisting features. The Corvette, on the other hand is very minimalist (by design) and so the driver must be more aware of what the car is doing. If you

I know, I know. As much as price-comparing annoys me (it's like comparing a gallon of milk and 3lbs of apples because they're both $3.80), people do it all the time.

Why is it that every time a GT-R pic gets thrown up on the web, someone counters with a Corvette pic? They are different cars. The GT-R is for people who want to go out to the 'ring and post a time similar to what they see on the web. The Corvette is for people who want to hire Jan Magnussen to drive their car to

The French-Canadians seem to have a wild side to them. We pride ourselves in the X-games, but these guys are just on a different level.

Hey Bill, It's Eric (formerly from motorsport). It's always cool to point to people on TV and say "hey, I know that guy!" You still going to waterford? Hopefully I'll run into you there. I sent an email to Vaughn last night too. Anyway, keep at it and enjoy the limelight!

Holy Jumpin' Jesus! I just watched the actual video: Bill Wise! No wonder it works so good! Great engineer and a heck of a Formula Ford driver. Congrats, Bill! (If you're looking at this)

You know, I have to hand it to GM this time. Not because they actually engineered a solution to a problem, but because they somehow sucker-punched their corporate attorneys and stuffed them in a closet long enough to release this. Mary Barra must be hiring some protective gorilla-like muscle for engineering over

I fail to see what I am "making up" here. According my math, my friend with the '04 has a 10-year old car that is out of warranty. Maybe the battery lasts him a week, maybe another 10 years. The point is, he doesn't want to find out so he sold the car for the new owner to worry about.

I honestly feel that the Titan has been sold short by the truck community. It has revolutionized the pickup segment, and now you can see elements of the Titan in all the other trucks. Mine has done everything I've asked it to, and with minimal trouble. However, with that said, my Titan will be replaced by an F-150.

Yep, my bad. However, I personally know of 4 people within the past year that have unloaded their 2nd gen Prius because of the impending battery replacement. That means the new owner is going to get a hefty bill soon after owning the car, and will probably leave a bitter taste in their mouth. This is certainly going

Yes, some industries have moved forward quickly in technology. However, progress is significantly impeded when physics applies the brakes on you. Have you wondered why processors are going to multiple cores now instead of increasing clock speed to eleventy-billion GHz? It's because physics is getting in the way.

I think your prediction of 5-10 may be very very optimistic. A gallon of gasoline has orders-of-magnitude higher energy content than even the most high-tech 6 lbs of batteries today. And, like you, no one else is willing to plunk down the $4k cash for a new battery every 5-6 years. I think you will see the resale

ROFL! Touche, good sir. I think the moral of the story is that all jobs will eventually suck; you just need to give them time. I bet there are days when Jeremy Clarkson hates his job... "I swear, if they give me one more 458 to drive, I will quit! They won't even have to worry about sacking me!"

This video is about the same as watching a cooking show on TV; they can magically make a dinner for 16 in under 15 minutes because all the hard parts were edited. Anyone that has done winter testing can assure you that the hoonage is only a small part - the rest of the job can get downright miserable at times. Don't

It's stated to be a trojan horse type virus. These are common in the racing paddocks because everyone has USB drives (and we don't know where they've been). Mainly they just do frustrating things like make your USB stick not appear in Explorer - pretty innocuous. I don't know how this is even news.

That pretty much covers my Titan LE (with a bed liner at no charge) plus my race car trailer ( 24' enclosed w/AC and generator), race car, gear, and travel expenses for 2 regional ChumpCar races. I think mine was the much better buy - but I am also a bit partial.

Great job, Torch. Bravo! If you happen to need backup in any future endeavors, let me know, as I used to design engine management systems for a very well-known company. As you have pointed out in excruciating detail, there is zero chance this device will do anything they claim. By the way, the capacitors they refer
