There are so many shades and textures of brown that would make this car look so much better than total crap. Instead, in keeping with Bugatti owners complete lack of taste, they have gone with coffee mug brown... For shame.

That was the whole point I was making though, a smaller lighter twin turbo 6 can produce the same amount of power as a naturally aspirated V8 more efficiently with a better torque curve. These factors in my opinion make it a great alternative to naturally aspirated 8's as a base engine option. Don't get me wrong I…

I have read that in reports as well, however I have two friends with V6 F150s that love them to death and report better fuel economy than the V8 ratings, and much better numbers on highway, 22-24MPG. Most of the reports refer to the efficiency when towing heavy loads, which is irrelevant to the question at hand,…

Not always true Fords 3.5L EcoBoost V6 in the F150 makes slightly more horsepower and gobs more torque from much lower RPM than their 5.0L V8, it is also lighter and more fuel efficient. In a vehicle with much better aerodynamics than that brick of a truck the fuel economy differences could be even greater, and the…

HP sure is fun on tracks, rumor has it a track near me will be adding a high speed 6 mile track to tie in with their current 2.7 mile, which is a tonne of fun as is. Also on straight split desert highways late at night. The only time I find it acceptable to speed. In a place that there are no on or off ramps, no…

From the very minimal bump the base model got over the previous model I think we will more likely see more modest numbers, somewhere around 550HP (Z06), and 650-675HP ZR1. Both will have better power curves than their current counterparts. I definitely agree that 700+ on the ZR1 is most likely a pipe dream.

I'm sorry, you asked me what other car runs a sub 4 second 0-60 in the same price range of the new vette, I named two. Also I am confused at being called a video game spec sheet wonder boy I haven't mentioned the GTR or said "bro" once...

I agree that the relatively flat torque curve is great, and that HP numbers are not everything. I also agree that in real world driving this new Vette will be fantastic. However check yourself on sub 4 second 0-60 times, the ZL1 and GT500 put down 3.8 and 3.5 seconds respectively. The new Vette may be in the same…

I agree that you can't make the base model too good. The problem is you have another GM product, the Camaro ZL1 pushing 580HP and a (quasi) competing car the Shelby GT500 pushing 662HP, both for around $3k more. Sure you can argue things like "those are larger, taller, heavier coupes with rear seats", "live axle…

I think that it is absolutely amazing that I just found out that the new base model Vette will be receiving a 460HP powerplant, and all I can think is "meh". 460 is a good amount of ponies. However I think that at this point the base model for Chevys flagship sports car should either be a V8 pushing around 500HP, or…

From my experience it takes a certain type of person purchase a diesel car in the US. These people are usually drawn to the long lifespan of a diesel engine, the stellar fuel economy, and fantastic driveability of a motor with a mostly flat torque curve. Because of these reasons these people will pay a premium for…

I recently had the privilege of taking a one day race academy at the new Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in Desert Center. The best piece of advice I received that I think you are missing above is to talk to yourself while driving. While coming down a straight ask yourself "Where is my entry?" find it and focus on it. …
