Ya, that rivet job on this car is really half-assed, though what was the level of skill and fit/finish of the real thing? 70s cars aren’t known for their build quality, and I get why the shitty rivet job looks like a total fake. But did the real things come out with good polish on the build? We *are* talking about the…

Is that a 2-piece, metal with a CF vane for aero? Or is it all CF?

Always loved the look of these cars. The tri-light front, the smooth and unfestooned styling, the little lip spoiler in back. I prefer coupes, though. The convertibles don’t look bad, but this car has to be pretty floppy without its roof. Too bad its engine wasn’t more reliable. If I bought a nice one like this, I’d…

The original fried-egg model. I think it looks great, and those copper accents were YEARS ahead of their time. I’d happily rock a Boxster like that now.

Their big mistake with the car they ended up producing was the mid-cycle styling refresh that broke up the tall egg crate grille. Once they did that, it made the car look much cheaper than it already was.

Not that I’ve ever heard. The whole point of turbos was to compress cool air into the cylinders for a bigger boom.

I would agree. On their newer cars I’m amazed Mazda doesn’t have some way of showing engine/coolant temp beyond the idiot light.

I had heard about this hack last week. I just bought a 2017 Mazda and while I’m not sure it has the new vulnerability fix in place, I both want to and don’t want to try this. The demo I saw last week was of someone putting Android Auto on their infotainment. I would definitely like to be able to do that and it’s a…

I’m not one to believe that it’s purely an engineering fix. There are plenty of other such fixes for sound that don’t involve extra vestigial pipes. My take is it’s a fun if somewhat naive nod to Ferraris and racing in general.

Ugh, FINALLY! A Supra Turbo left as it was intended from the factory. I mean, I’d still take the factory wing off, but no modded Supra looks as good as a stock one.

These days nothing sends a white conservative into fits of rage like mentioning “Black Lives Matter”, which alone says all anyone should ever need to know about how bad things still are. Any such usage immediately engenders “thin blue line!”, “police lives matter!”, “all lives matter!”, or “terrorists that torch gas…

Thanks for this. More proof that the racism the right claims is all in our heads has not even remotely changed in the 50 years since his murder. Nobody can argue things have changed drastically when MLK can be readily seen here explaining the problem in the same kinds of acidic rhetorical terms we still hear today.

I don’t think I’ve ever even HEARD or SEEN this model before, and here’s the first one I’ve ever witnessed, and it’s a sleeper with a pedigree’d engine, a stick, and pillarless looks? For 4 figures?

The mistake was in Sergio thinking Alfa would attain greatness in the US. History has proven Alfa is just not a winner here, and while it’s possible to break historical molds (and I’m happy to give that brand the chance if they have the capital and smarts to see it through), Italian cars across the board are seen as…

Everyone here in the comments is getting bent out of shape over not much at all. These are high school kids screwing around. How much you think these 3 care about clearly beater cars (that 240 had 3 different colors)? This is the definition of F’ing around, and every single male here did the same at that age, if not…

I must say I absolutely adored the altitude panning shots of cars on the Mulsanne. Some seriously stunning shots of the cars in motion from the air. Not nearly enough broadcast time from the Porsche cockpit though. What a business-sounding car that builds speed like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Ya, I was on the YT streams and Ford’s free GT stream too. The Chevy feed seemed to be piped through Fox, and I could not easily find feeds from Porsche or any other car. I paid for a botched WEC feed last year, and didn’t want to go that route again this year. On top of that, apparently the WEC broadcast was under…

I’d have to agree. I love listening to the 919 whir its was around a track like a jet, and I’ve never been woo’d by any of Toyota’s attempts to take the win in this race, so I’ve been in Porsche’s camp for a few years.

Heh, ya, if there wasn’t a mechanical failure in a car, it was caused by a scrappy LMP2.

Well it certainly looks better than its new bigger bro. I’m not intrigued by the Atlas at all, and think it’s an ugly CUV with an unfortunate name. I really do not expect the Atlas to do well other than maybe its first couple years. I think there are too many others that are already in the game and will probably do it…
