    First we have to clear something up, sub brands? Honda/Acura? If they each get one whats to stop a company from making 37 sub brands, so tossing that out.

    Demonstration lap. He wasn’t driving this thing at the limit, didn’t even get it out of 4th.

    Pretty sure you missed the joke. 

    I currently have an Italian car and a British car, so maybe my definition of reliability is closer to Tracy’s than a normal persons.

    You all missed the target here.  This man needs a 9-2X.

    This is actually the first time it left Europe. Making these sort of appearances has really only been happening since Ron Dennis left.

    Aston Martin was also sold to the foreigners.  But then some Brits bought them back.

    Break it down and it seems like a pretty normal company.  They assemble things made of parts they purchase through suppliers and then sell those things. They also have an advertising budget.

    300 hp, 3,000 lbs, $30,000.  Perfect.

    BMW has a very straight forward naming system, allow me to explain,

    The diagonal crease between the door and front wheel on the E85 Z4 bothers me more than any other design element on any other car ever.  I hate it just as much today as I did 16 years ago.

    Unlike the tattoo from a book, at least you can turn around and sell this drunken purchase when you come to your senses.

    Yes, it had the LH transmission, rear mounted Corvette style, so not an easy swap. Every so often I’ll search some forums and see if someone has figured out how to easily stuff a T56 in there and the consensus is just buy a Viper.

    1) Because someone wanted it now. And if you have the means, why wait?

    All you need to do is get a 9 figure net worth, and make a few Bugatti (or McLaren or Porsche or Ferrari) purchases each year and you too will be told about these cars before they are sold out and asked if you want to buy one.

    I like the looks better than the regular one. By better I mean this is just mildly repulsive.

    It’s road going, they actually drove it back to England from the Nurburgring.  And they produced 6 of them.

    One is road legal. And can be driven by a person. One is a race car that isnt road legal and requires a support team of Porsche mechanics to get it started.

    It was in a cammo wrap, now its green.  (and the mclaren p1LM is actually the record holder)

    25% is embarrassingly low for the corvette.  It was over 50% for the C5.
