Escort GT > ALL THE CAMAROS

I will respectfully abstain.

A little birdie tells me he's working on getting an M-104 engine in this thing this winter. I can't wait to see how that works out.

I am very familiar with the SST programs by Boeing, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, and the US Government. My facility has played a part in large-scale testing of SSTs since the early 60s. If you look at the designs that were of the same generation as the Concorde, I think you will see a lot of similarities. And I'm…

Something something kicked Enzo's ass something...

I don't get it. At all. What the hell is this video and why is it relevant to anything?

A) The Russians admitted they copied the B-29

The TU-144 flew a LOT more than 15 times.

Dat Fender Flare!

Thanks for sticking up for the Allegheny! Fantastic machine, and the true top dog of the steam world. Everyone seems convinced that the Big Boy was tops, but oh how they're wrong! I suspect it's because they can't remember how to spell "Allegheny".

It looks like an Isuzu Impulse cross-bred with an AMC Eagle hatchback. Don't get me wrong, I like both of those cars and I like this one too, but come on. It's no Starion!

What were the specs? The pièce de résistance was the 6.0-liter V12 with four turbochargers which sent a stunning 720 horsepower and 660 pound feet of torque to the rear wheels. It was created by mixing parts from two Modular V8 engines and strapping on two Garrett Systems T2 turbochargers. (Apparently, the test mule…

I understand the value of repeatability and small-scale wind tunnel testing (I happen to work in the world's largest wind tunnel). My comment was meant more to highlight the fact that the Ferrari machine is actually a fairly common type of facility with unremarkable capabilities. It's like the Toyota Camry of wind…

I completely agree that if you use it every day from day one it will stay free. I always bought used-up cars from people who didn't used that logic... so I was always terrified of that brake lever!

It can't even get to 100 mph in full-scale? The Wind Shear tunnel in North Carolina can do 180. Lots of race teams use the hell out of it.

I grew up in Michigan and parking brakes there just don't work on anything older than about 10 years. The cables rust in the housings and there really isn't much you can do about that. A fun trick, if you're diabolical, was to pull the e-brake on a friend's car when you know for sure that the thing won't return. He…

I may or may not have a banner...

this.
THIS!
ALL OF THIS!!!

You've gotta drive one to understand. Back in the 90s I spent a few days behind the wheel of a perfect 30,000 mile 1987 GN and it changed my life. The sound of that archaic Garrett, the meaty steering wheel, the lumpy idle (that it admittedly shared with all of the old Buick odd-fire V-6 engines), the solid and yet…

South East Michigan. Absolutely all of it.
