    Grahm Hill is the only one to win Monaco/Indy/Lemans

    I wonder what it was insured for.One just sold at auction for $1.8m. That’s one way to get around the sale loophole.

    I was rear ended once. I used it then.

    I normally want to see upsets in these David v Goliath scenarios, but I have to be pulling for Fernando in this.

    Whats the feedback? People scroll past 6000 words and click I agree?

    “Probably. Many experienced drivers know to look ahead of the car in front of them” What’s your definition of “many experienced drivers”? I’d put it at 3%-5%

    That was my thought as well. There is very little reaction time after the lead car changes lands. There is next to no reaction time, most drivers either would the hit the disabled vehicle or overcorrect. This is a prime example as to why tailgating is never a good idea.

    To be fair, 95% of the drivers on the road would wreck in this scenario, tailgating someone else who suddenly changes lanes at the last second revealing a disabled car. In that exact scenario most people are either not going to react soon enough or over correct and wreck.

    Sounds like a record breaking month for the FCA Italian brands.

    But is the 1.4T going to get the job done when the weight goes up 500 lbs? The X I’m envisioning is going to need 250hp minimum.

    Why dont they make a sporty version of the 500x? Like an Abarth? The manual trans is only available on the base 1.4 FWD. Make a 2.4 AWD with the stick, give it more boost and the angry 500 Abarth personality. Im thinking like a mini Stelvio Quariwhatever.

    I’m sorry but that steering wheel from a 1992 Ford Taurus kills it for me.

    Because everyone follows the laws in a country that started as a prison island.

    Zero to crashing leaving cars and coffee in 2.8 seconds instead of the previous 3.2 seconds.

    Considering its a completely different engine, probably not. Unless Fiat feels they have to keep up with the Mazda in a numbers game, and not have to answer the question “why should I pay more for less HP?”

    How do we know this isn’t a 540? Foreign dignitary could bring in whatever he wants.

    Here’s what I want from the top class of LeMans. Production based cars, pick a decent production number, say 100. Not 2. Production chassis, production engine. Strip the interior, add a rollcage, slicks and air jacks. Want active aero? Put it on the road car. KERS? Put it on the road car. 1800 hp quad turbo V16 making

    Straight out of CSI

    The door jam says otherwise

    My point wasn’t that they aren’t doing a good job, my point is that they could have called it anything and nobody could would have cared.
