...one could argue that it’s not safer since it’s been paved. The speeds are higher, the lateral g’s are higher, And the surface is still a mountain road; dips and undulations and such. One of the crashes was caused by hitting a dip in the road at the wrong time... 

I don’t really care at all since they paved it. They turned it into the single most boring event in the world.

Climb dance is what pikes peak should always be....

Purpose-built eletric cars are already the best concept for hillclimbing, as the distance is too short for the low energy density of the battery to bite you, letting you exploit the better power density and packaging of the EV powertrain.

I see what you did there.

An electric car currently holds the overall record, so I imagine you are right.

Were they using Autopilot?

Right or wrong, this was my first thought too. At $30k, this could easily be someone who bought on a whim because they used to whip one of these around in NFSU.

No room in the garage for a vehicle.

“What’s Something In Your Garage That Might Be A Relationship Red Flag?”

I was watching this here and there on BAT. I saw it at around 5 large, and thought “Someone’s going to get a decent deal on clean ass old car!”

Checked it today in the completed listings, and went “HOLY SHIT!”

I worked at a Nissan dealer when these were new cars, and this thing sold for like double MSRP.  I never…

In this case, I think that Geely bought the company for three reasons:

Not really sure that a heavy, 2000hp, AWD electric hypercar is on brand for Lotus but those cars seem to be the quickest way to raise cash with the exception of making a SUV/crossover.

Over 2000hp sounds to me that a driver just barely touches the throttle and he’ll immediately slam into the car ahead of him. Except out of 130 cars, 120 will never be used—always parked in a climate controlled garage for the resale, 8 will accumulate less than 300 miles in the year from just going to Cars ‘n’ Coffee…

Seriously, are they going to pay royalties to GM or Nader? That actually got a laugh from me.

My thoughts exactly when I looked at that picture. I tilted my head crooked like a dog and whispered “WTF” to myself.

Exactly my thought as well, looks like a Stratus at first glance.

Yeah that was funny.

“Bronco has nothing like 4xe”

Neither to do, technically.

You know they are desperate when they are citing yet to be released models as advantages.

100% - looks like a bitchin’ Dodge Avenger.
