The only thing I would change for EV application is driver control.

That happened to me. I’m not the guy in that video, but under similar circumstances, I had the side curtains deploy in my V-wagon on the last corner of an autocross course. Set my best time of the day, that run, too.
Is there a way to get the car out of Super Pursuit Mode, or is it stuck that way?
I remember seeing an ad for this exact concept back in the late eighties, I think. It was in the back of one of the major automotive magazines, and it would let you choose from various legendary V-8s, V-12s, and even a jet engine. It played through the radio, and I think it tapped into the ignition to vary the pitch…
But now the Mercedes star is backwards.
Number one is tantalizingly close to an early Dodge Viper. To quote Jean Jennings (or, rather, Jean Lindamood at the time):
Um, no. The Fleetwood was never competitive in any class. Fun, yes. But not competitive.
And just to resurrect this thread one more time, I’d like to quote a passage from The Morgan 3 Wheeler: – back to the future! by Peter Dron:
Somehow a Yield sign means “Stop completely even if no vehicles are in the area” to some people. Or those who stop in the roundabout. Or...or...or...
I can’t speak to the L98 or L93 that sat in front of these transmissions (it’s been too long since I worked on one) but the 1990s LT1 is the same way. During disassembly, you start with all metric tools, an by the time you dig deeper in, everything is SAE. It’s like automotive archaeology.
I’ll just leave this here.
Are you referring to the wider-at-the-top D-pillar? It’s a bit awkward, I agree, but they’d either have to open up all the angles from the rear door back, which would mean using a different door than the sedan, or compromise the cargo space even further. It’s nearly a hatchback as it is. The slope of the rear window…
I agree, 100%. When I first saw the CT6, I thought it showed a level of presence that had been lacking from the brand for decades. Then, unfortunately, I saw the car from the rear. It went right past simple elegance into bland. I think, for their modern cars, this is probably going to be the high water mark for rear…
That Atlas I-6 came out right before the Corvette’s 50th anniversary. I remember thinking at the time that a straight-6 2003 Corvette would be a good candidate for their anniversary model.
