Introducing the sixth-generation Camaro:

You say these high belt lines are for driver safety

Electronic parking brake.

This makes the 2015 Mustang look like it was RADICALLY different

What... what part of this is new?

I expected better from “The NEW GM”.

This makes the design guys at Porsche look like huge risk takers.

It still looks like a new Camaro.

Looks like Mr. Murphy and his law were working splendidly here. Or, clusterf**k would work too.

new headlights...cool.

Not true, a Porsche is the only car that you can drive to the track, run all day, and drive home. In years of running with the PCA and doing DE’s 911’s, 996 and 997 are practically bullet proof. 944’s not so much, as well as all the other brands that show up.

S2000 has a strike against it. At least here on the east coast you can’t even do a track day without a rollbar. I put installing a rollbar in an S2000 in my “most hated jobs ever” list. It was a miserable week. Probably would have been easier if I was willing to leave the interior out. I like the S2000 as a car.…

Or maybe get *insert whatever you have a bias towards here*. Dude, its racing. Shit happens to ALL makes and models.

Cliff notes: BMWs

There’s no luck. Just preparation and carelessness. I had a dedicated track car for awhile and the fact I could only shake it down at track days meant things always went wrong. Learned my lesson. Now I always keep them street legal. I realize this isn’t an option for many real race cars.

There is a reason we drive our cars to the track... if it works, we can run. If it breaks, we have just saved our entry fee.

Some of what’s described sounds like simple bad luck, but some of it also sounds like lack of preparation and/or mistakes. Serious bummer, though! Racing can be a tough, cruel sport.

Ouch! Shows the value of a test-and-tune trackday before you enter the car in a competition event (with higher entry fees etc.) Can’t always be done that way, but it sure helps if you can!

He looks like he’s from a McDonald’s porn parody. Next thing you know, he’ll be stuffing Grimace’s muffin.
