Can you imagine if we’d had your attitude back at the introduction of the internal combustion engine? If everyone said they were a “bad value proposition” (whatever that means) because we already had horse feeding troughs and people who cleared the sh*t from our streets?

Our transition to EV’s is infinitely easier,…

My commute (pre-pandemic) was 30 miles each way. A bit above average. The “normal” range of my 3-year-old Tesla Model 3 is 282 miles (313 on a ‘full’ range charge). I can make it home in the summer with 220 miles “in the tank”. In the winter, it’s more like 200.

If I’m taking a long road trip, say, to my daughters who…

This article is trash. Jalopnik used to be the place to go to get unbiased and informative car news. Sad to see that you all just waste your weekends trawling local news websites for Tesla crashes now.

Haha, I wish. I was detailing it for a friend as a favor for letting me use his shop space!

Exactly, it’s like they picked the windscreen off a Cessna vs. a fighter jet.

Subjectivity and all that, but I don’t agree at all with it looking “awesome”.  It looks far too upright when viewed from the front, and the lines does not naturally flow into the rest of the car.  Maybe the “production” versions will be better integrated, but as it stands I find the F1 halo, and the aeroscreen that…

The email from Howard-Higgins to Musk after Musk terminated his contract (this caused Musk to rehire Howard-Higgins):

I met so many grifters like this when I was in the Special Forces. 

P100D Turbo is my preference 

But...but....but.... How would Jalopnik further hype the Supra then????

Weight is already focused on. It’s a fight between meeting regulated minimum crash performance and CAFE. CAFE being a mathematical exercise and if it still fails after manipulations it is only a tax that can be passed on to the new car buyer. Meanwhile if a car does not meet FMVSS with regards to crash performance it…

So you are sort of saying, “Simplify, and add lightness”?

I’m a bit older but I was at the inaugural running of the petite Le Mans at road Atlanta.I was heartbroken the CLK-GTRs weren’t in attendance, but one 911 GT1 was. I saw it flash by with its nose tipping past vertical, I saw the factory Corvettes duke it out with the Oreca Vipers to the very last lap, and I don’t…

I was 11 in 1998, and that was my first exposure to sportscar racing. I vividly remember watching the 911 GT1, CLK LM, and GT-Ones duke it out. The 911 GT1 single handedly made me fall in love with endurance racing. Those impossibly slinky curves draped in that wild paint scheme......just perfection.

I’m so tired of reading this comment. The GT1 was redesigned to look like the upcoming 996! It had a 993 front, then it got a 996 front ahead of the 996's release. 

Agreed. Looks waaaaaayyyy better than the 97 GT1.

This is one of the all time greatest race cars. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from Daytona Prototype. If you don’t want more of this in racing, you are wrong.

Neat.

It is quite the large magnitude of improvement...

Yes, but this is based on huge changes to the cars, rather than evolutions under a reasonably static rule set.
