STOPPING POWER!
I’m sure it’s amazing to drive with an awesome interior, but that profile belt line is as high as the belt line of the average driver of these cars.
Many of you are confusing a standard patrol vehicle vs. what was stated here as to be “used for non-emergency purposes like outreach and police business instead of patrols or chases”. So, they could be used at say the annual Motors 4 Toys car show where there is usually an LAPD “booth” where people come and interact…
I agree that as we reach our golden years, a physical driving test should be required every x number of years, but a 70 year old who wants a 700+ hp GT500 is NOT the same as the old dude rockin’ a 90's beige Buick LeSabre in the high speed lane with their turn signal on goin’ 45 - - and he’s also certainly a safer…
we’ll all be sure to NOT clap when you come out at the next Jalopnik event. I mean, it is your job and you’re getting paid for it, and quite frankly, some of the articles are sub-par - so why should we applaud that?
oh, so you were going for the “lack of chemistry, lack of being prepared, lack of knowing what makes a good bit ‘subversive’” interview?
Is it too much to ask to put the year of the car in the article?
1st gen Mercedes CLK? (1997-2002) CLK55 rims?
Kreiss!!!
PDK is the water-cooled frustration of our times.
I’m thinking that a 5 hour tow probably costs about 1/4 of the vehicle cost. Any idea how much the tow was?
A) I should have bought one of these when they were “only” $100k.
Agreed. I’d get the base model, lose 11 pounds off MY belly and BOOM - same result AND an $11k savings!
It’ll be interesting to see, since most Jalop staff, and certainly the commentators, have been brutal on every little detail of every car show out there - comments on music choices, chemistry, writing, etc. Some of the criticism has been warranted, but I think you’re experiencing how absolutely tricky it is to get…
Ohhhhh, I didn’t realize it had a DOUBLE-racing stripe. This one will surely (stop calling me Shirley) go to 11 and be faster than the single-racing striped cars. I may have to up my bid by a million or so.
It’s fine if someone wants to ride without a helmet, but then their health insurance and bike insurance should be at least double. And if they are involved in an accident with injury, let’s start with a $20k deductible. Hey man, it’s just good business sense. Why should everyone else in the insurance pools have to pay…
do you
Predicted comments ahead of airing:
Pretty sure previous GTs could already hit 60 Cars and Coffee spectators from a stand still in less than 4 seconds.
