Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think jet's pull that level of g-forces under only yaw control, which is the only way a car turns. Most airborne g's originate from pitch and roll inputs.

Hahaha! Good one!

I take it you work for Switzer and are a GT-R tuning wizard? Otherwise, you may want to study up on automotive engineering before you think you can just tear into a GT-R engine like your single-cam D-series.

So, place the hydrocoptic modial pan-enteric semi bolloid slot on the differential girdle spring for 10Rg's of flux variability, then transversely alter drawn dingle arms, but only every other 7th modial moxy interrupter. GOT IT!

Just to prove a point here: I just read this article to my wife (albeit laughing histerically the entire time) and even she [no offense to women who do know car jargon..she'll go to F1 races with me, but she's not necessarily an automotive engineer] laughed and said "That's dumb. Why would CNN allow a writer without…

I don't know if this paragraph is meant to be taken cynically, but I agree. There are the 'haves' and the 'have nots.' Everyone in either category has ended up where they are by themselves, their actions, and the people they've chose to associate with along the way. Sure some had family fortunes and old money, but…

So after I thoroughly messed myself, I decided to COMPLETELY AGREE with CNN. They're obviously cognitively challenged over there, so I fear all of this negativity in response to the obviously handicapped author will impact their life and career in some horrible way. Let's all head over to CNN's Facebook to praise them…

I love car.

Uhhh....

As long as the last guy was really smart, 99 of every 100 could be 'below average.' I'm confused by this 'meme'. Is it aiming at this reasoning, assuming that most will think averages are based on some weird 50/50 arithmetricks and simply agree with it? I hate memes.

I thought they were all built from flammable materials?

Really? My local diesel locomotive or bulldozer may be utilizing one of these remarkable exhaust-steam turbinators? Fascinating! I wonder if perhaps, one day, one of those fascinating devices may make its way to my personal motor-coach?

This person clearly has no idea about how a car actually works. Sure, when one of those early turbos failed, coolant splashed around and hit hot engine bits and made all kinds of billowing steam clouds, but that is most certainly not "exhaust steam." There's no stoker crammed in the back of an F1 cockpit frantically…

I'm crying I'm laughing so hard trying to finish reading this article.

I don't have time this evening to read through all of these comments, but coming from a product marketing standpoint, that was downright genius. Whomever conceived this idea and executed it, has some real career potential.

Aside from just eating Peking Duck, with warm Hong Kong crapes, I liked seeing the ducks make it down the track. After all, she was smart enough to lead them off the racing line, wasn't she?

Best rebuttal ever.

I have a feeling your life may have not surmounted to what you would have liked it to have become? That's what you get when you think settling for 'good-enough' is acceptable.

I agree with b-thumper. I would think that anyone who shoots him down or tells him to stop complaining, probably hasn't ever had the opportunity to be involved in a bespoke automotive program, or written a check for nearly $80,000+ for a car.

I think BMW should fix the issue. The man is a customer and if his paperwork…

Agreed. I hate the term 'hypercar' and I think we should reserve that for when cars can fly. To help people out, who just can't grasp this philosophy:
