This is exactly why dry sump isn’t just a reliability upgrade, it’s a performance upgrade.

If I like to drive, and I’m not concerned with being the best daily driver, I’m buying a GR86 and saving a huge amount of money. What’s crazy is that it’s not much slower than a CTR.

With dealer markups on the CTR and the ridiculous base price of the ITS, can’t see why you’d choose this over the new S3. I guess if you do tons of track days, but I’d like to see the numbers on how many of these actually see tracks.

My only issue with the F1 is that it was modified for the run. Had no cats, higher rev limit, etc.

I see these every day, and it is a cool engineering exercise. The main thing that will be interesting is how teams will choose to deploy the power, you may see big differences in strategy that will mix things up.

I simply think they’re presenting to the outside world the way they present it internally. It makes for an easy way to compare with their ICE revenues/profits.

Every OEM project I’ve worked on, which is quite a few, calculates everything on a per unit basis. That’s tooling, ED&D, software/engineering tools, part piece price, etc. Maybe this isn’t how financial people are used to seeing it reported outside the company, but this is is literally how auto companies figure out…

....how is it misleading? They’re spending money, and BEVs aren’t selling like they thought they would at this point. They still have an absolute amount of money they bring in, and an absolute amount they can spend.

GR86/BRZ easily takes this crown.

Don’t mistake me, not trying to say it’s as expensive as Monaco. My guess is a single alcoholic drink at the Monaco GP is one of those things where if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it.

I didn’t say every race was this way, for example COTA isn’t, but Montreal is and good luck affording anything at Monaco unless you’re a multimillionaire. I assume Silverstone and Monza are similar.

I’m not sure why this is being specifically targeted at Miami. This isn’t unusual for F1 at all.

Wife loves her Sorento hybrid, at $36k it was much more affordable than anything comparable. She mostly does around town driving, averages ~38 mpg. It’s also quicker than it needs to be, it is not slow at normal speeds.

This is the real point, we aren’t financially educating our kids outside of the home. I don’t understand why algebra isn’t a series of financing problems in high school, it’s such an easy real-world application.

Same, girl dad, very successful wife with a master’s degree. I feel the anger.

I see many people calling her an idiot in the comments, which I agree with, but we should remember that she’s not an outlier. MANY people are doing this.

This, this is exactly why it seems like there’s a big correction or crash coming.

Yea, it definitely implies women can’t be smart enough to understand financing, which is obviously ridiculous.

I mean, buying apples might mean financial ruin at this point. Can’t wait for $500 a week for groceries to become the norm!
