LOL, yes working on a Corvette = yup.

“Horsepower” is a unit of power. “Torque” is not a unit of torque.

Bulk up to what? Fatass? Super Fatass?

Raccoons can get pretty big. Maybe he tried to brake hard and the brake dive did it? Who knows....

Heck, my friend’s dad hit a possum and it lodged betw the wheel and car body, almost took them off the road....

LOL I knew a guy that hit a coyote, at freeway speeds. He didn’t think too much of it (other than noting the fairly surprisingly stout impact) until “all the lights lit up on the dash” and the car quit working. It took out the radiator and of course he totally overheated it, ruined the engine.

Thanks for the replies, I guess the part I found odd would be crossing the line from tribute to implying you’re as good. If there’s no intent of that there, the tribute makes sense.

Aside: I’m glad to see the sentiment, but anyone else find Hamilton wearing a Senna tribute helmet a little strange, taste-wise? Honest question - I admit it could be just me. Other examples of drivers/riders doing this type of gesture through the years?

Now, of course we are talking the same company that in recent ad copy for the 718 Boxster states “a majority of its weight rest[s] squarely where higher powers have long intended it - the center” which of course means they are admitting the 911 goes against God, so this gauge business, awful electric steering etc just…

Jeez looking at that picture, I still can’t believe Porsche is trying to cram all those gauges behind the wheel like that. Yes the classic 911 simply went with “hide some of them behind the steering wheel” but the various iterations of this version have never succeeded aesthetically. The 928 and 2nd-gen 944 showed…

Wait...you are expecting Jalopnik/the sites formerly known as Gawker to use Actual Journalistic Standards in their reporting?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Click bait headlines are just the start.... Full on bias blows Fox/Reuters out of the water. Good luck though.

The bias on Gawker or whatever you are now is getting really old. A quick Google Image search for “trump obama meeting” shows plenty of smiles etc too. Please.

Lasers are very serious and should never be pointed in ANY unsafe direction. Just like a firearm.

Neither is assuming America wants to continue down the socialist path.

Though the speed limits here are awful (I too moved from CA, SF in my case). I find that generally in CA you could still have sort of fun in not-too-big-a-ticket speed territory, but out here you pretty much will be going 20-30 over on an equivalent road but marked 30 (note for those not familiar, actual speed limit,…

Ah, that obviously wasn’t clear. So yes, I’d concur that if swapping for non-Porsche motor the Turbo would actually be the one you’d want to start with (assuming Chevy V8 for instance - you want all the Turbo upgrades chassis-wise for sure).

Now that said, the S2 motor (or, probably, 968 assuming it’s about the same…

Neither of those is “just” a swap. The S2 has stuff that needs modified to make it fit in non-S2 cars (Excellence did an article on doing this, it’s pretty involved.) The question of swapping in the Turbo motor gets asked by every noob on every 944 board ever, and the answer is “sell it and get a Turbo.”

I dailied a 944 for 10 years. You get my vote for COTD.

Well put. Just because a car goes much faster and makes it seem easy to do so (frankly the situation with too many cars these days, given general driver skill levels), doesn’t make physics at any given speed just go away. This is very easy to forget/not think about esp if you get used to driving fast. I make it a…

So...he failed to control his car and ultimately gained an advantage by being further down the track.

Seems to me staying on the track should be a requirement regardless of cause of departure from it (well, unless someone knocks you off for instance).
