Nevermind I read the link. Interesting.

I’ve heard of the IROC-Z, but I wasn’t aware there was an IROC-S? Info please?

Yes, briefly values dipped into the low $90s to low-$100s, but have since gone to crazy town.

In that fine tradition of British craftsmenship - I’m going to suggest two cars and either one would be interesting to own for a year (but not own simultaneously).

From this angle, the car looks like a beached whale. The Quattroporte V (5) was much pretty and much more svelte (also sounded better).

One would think it would be the other way around. Who’s avoiding tax on a bullshit Fisker?

Ah makes sense.

So I’m going to be that guy and ask how it got there: How’d it get here? As we all know, it’s not 25 years old, it’s likely not eligible for Show and Display, and not like you can forge a VIN to make this a Nissan Altima. Probably got lucky at the DMV and bought an ex-diplomat’s car.

If that’s a flip up LCD then I’ll be damned. Flip up CRT maybe... I think it’s an in-dash 6-disc CD changer (because the trunk was rather inconvenient). Also, that trim strip of wood looks even worse here now.

GOOD SHOW, CHAPS! Let’s bolt a backup CD player/changer to show those Gerries a thing about ergonomics. RIGHT-O!

Arbitrary wood trim strip is arbitrary. This is British craftmanship at its finest. The curious thing is the horrendous placement of what looks to be a CD player to left of the gauge cluster?

Speedboat in car factory?

I didn’t notice, but did they mention the testing conditions and surface? I’m guessing just a shitty launch for the LaFerrari. A lot of the super quick 0-60 times were accomplished with Launch Control (or so I thought). I figure it has to be traction limited because the instant throttle response - P1 has that fraction…

This my friends is what happens when you’re expected to show up for work after a weekend of bath salts. All you want to do is grit your teeth and stop your eyes from being WIDE open like you’re silently screaming, “AHHHHHHHHHHH DAMN IT!”

YOU SHALL NOT PASS! I AM SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION!

I concur!

THANK GOD. We don’t have that stupid Mercedes tablet-style screen that sticks up like an eyesore. A friend who works for Cadillac says they’re great for driver safety (less need to look down and easier to keep eyes on road), but they’re such an eyesore. I’d buy the Infiniti version of the GLA just because of the…

Hopefully this doesn’t blow out transfer cases like the current one does.

David E. Davis, Jr. originally posited that “everyone should drive a V12 at least once.” I once absolutely caned the hell out of a DB7 Vantage Volante and was not disappointed - the smoothness and refinement. The speed. The elegance. The sound.

Agreed, we’ll keep it here for now.
