Can I get ungreyed please ? I read and respond to quite a number of your posts !

Damn it Tavarish ! You are going to make it harder for me to get a cheap used car if you are going to keep educating people !!!

Brake controls engineer here ! If I get access to the car, I can ensure the brakes are in my complete control in terms stopping when you dont want it to or not stopping when you want it to. Brakes these days are a big set of valves and actuator, all it takes is knowing what valves to open and when to either do 100%

They can still brake the car with a violent full blown ABS stop !

This is so true ! Lot of the engines from ze germans especially Porsche has been found to produce the rated HP of crank at the wheel itself

Yup I am pretty sure its not because the upper management has way too many bean counters and marketing guys who push for half baked products "new" products

It because of things like these and their past products like ITR,S2k,NSX that makes you respect Honda as a company. I wish they took more of these risks today

Looking at the size differential between the tires in the front and the back, I wouldn't worry too much about it understeering . That is one big ass meaty tire at the front !!

It is at Mitsubishi unless there is EV class at WRC

Not the nitpick but the 1st and the 3rd pic are not from India or anywhere in the Indian subcontinent. But growing up I did see such scenes when the light commercial pickups weren't as affordable as they are now

I am not sure you saw same races as the rest of us in 2014

There is reason why the autobahn is de-restricted, its because they don't have as many tiny bumps to throw your car off the road

Too poor ? You clearly haven't been to the cities outside Detroit where the "richer" engineers / executives of auto industry live. Some of the richer cities around Detroit are among the richest in the country and a Porsche is a very very common site

This ! actually even the 918 has just 1 motor in the front axle. This one has one per wheel giving a lot of possibility with almost no lag torque vectoring

Is your point here about the marketing team showing it too early or that its a 5 year old car ?
Yes, it was beaten to death by Acura unnecessarily long before it was production ready but it doesn't make it a old car
But NO it is indeed industry standard ! The 458 which debuted in 2009 was probably announced

Dont forget this car was shown only 3 years back and as such has had a pretty normal development time frame. The car 9 years ago was completely different V10 FR model was later renamed the HSV for the super gt championship.

This car was announced only 3 years back in the 2012 as a concept. The keyword here is concept, not a developed car. Almost any car these days take 4-5 years after concept stage whether they show to the public or not.

Yes, the hybrid ford gt with v6 TT and electric torque vectoring is such 2016 compared to the non hybrid 2009 Honda ! Haha ...

Yes because v6 TT with 3 electric motors, electric torque vectoring and 9spd DCT is so much 2009
