This could work as long as the SCCA deals with making entry and participation consistently hassle-free.. First hand experience here even after following the rules, it wasn’t enough. I was able to get started in racing (IT Class) but felt like switching to NASA before stopping when my kid was born.

C6 corvette.

You don't need 4wd and you can stack 7 in the back like cord wood. Fight the lightning with lightning

GM needs to do something with their Truck.

I’d prefer a roxor to SxS because a SxS looks like a ridiculous equivalent of an RGB maxxed out gaming rig covered in proprietary plastic bits. 

It was supposed to be a fashion piece rather than a hatch in a true sense of needing to carry stuff. Still, once you get past the opening, the hatch can fit a LOT.

Plus, I’d rather take a new Z that’s secretly an old Z rather than a new Supra that’s secretly a BMW Z4.

This is definitely gonna be one of those situations where I see minimal differences and people come out of the woodwork to loudly proclaim what an uncultured philistine I am for failing to notice that all the things that seriously look basically the same are, in fact, wildly and dramatically different.

Dude what are you smoking. I see similar elements that are retained (vertical door handles, cup holder placement, center arm rest design).

P.S. Why are comments always so borked?

I didn’t need the Z to tell me that the Supra is a mess.

Seeing the Z and the Supra side by side really makes it obvious that the Supra is a bit of an overwrought mess. The Z is refreshingly simple and straightforward. I don’t care if it is a heavily reworked 370z. I like it. 

Perhaps you get what you pay for? Base 540i is $59K, while the base CT5-V is $48K.  (edited for incorrect BMW price on initial post)

There is something about the way this car looks from the side that elicits a pleasing response from me. I’m not saying it is pretty, but I like it. Perhaps it is the black door trim that gives the impression that the pillars are thinner than they really are. In a sea of cars that feel like you’re sitting in a bunker,

Except in sales, but that’s ok

Up until a few years ago, I was pretty set on not liking Hamilton because he didn’t get across the best impression when he came into F1. I saw him as a bit of a bratty whiner that could drive the wheels off of the car but couldn’t handle things not quite going his way.

Same. Test mules made me think it was going to look too extreme, but I actually really like how it’s toned-down compared to the competition. It will age nicely.

I must be the only person around that adores this car. It’s beautiful and a HUGE turn around for Maserati as of late. I haven’t lusted after a Maser in decades, and never thought I would again... but here we are.

Thank Larry Chen for those. He can make any car look that good. One of the best photogs in the business IMHO

I agree.  The problem is that people are dumb or willfully ignorant. They complain when a platform grows ‘old’ but then bitch when features or options die with new platforms. It’s as if people don’t underestand how resource intensive it is to develop a new complex product from scratch.
