My current hypothesis is they’re doing final validations on the LT5 Connect and Cruise, making that power bulge up front quite necessary.

Ever hear an e-gear Lambo in a parking lot trying to navigate spaces? It’s the most embarassing thing ever.

The DCT had better be un-fucking-believable.  Other big manufacturers get transmission selections wrong, but this is one that could completely tank the model.

I work for a large dealership/gm performance parts warehouse now instead of the speed shop before (for those that remember all those C7 world record setting posts, etc). We are all excited mainly to see what new engine tech is about to hit, especially with rumors of the LTx architecture going to “Gen 6.”

The looks give…

Eeek, somebody needed to hit that thing with a lens correction filter before hitting “send” to everybody in the world.  Both cars are looking like those horrible images of dogs after being stung in the face by bees but this time only affecting one side.

Apparently somebody is still doing a crapload of cocaine.

I saw a great post yesterday, can’t remember the source.

Essentially went along the lines of how as a girl she felt insecure about her red hair and pale skin, and was made fun of it pretty extensively. Then the Little Mermaid came out, and jeers turned to compliments, and she felt better about her image as a whole.

She…

Allow me to introduce you to Kenny Slides.

“The Aisin-built eight-speed automatic is the one part of the car that seems to achieve critical dissent.”

Oh God, I hope this isn’t another Aisin with a bad reputation. The AW55 in the Volvo V70-XC would lose 2nd gear, it’d just grab neutral, rev to the moon and then slam it into 2nd.

Rebuilding it wasn’t recommended,…

Sounds like some execs haven’t experienced a TT Underground Racing Lambo.

Ahh, throwback to when that guy threatened to sue Jalopnik lol.

Need to hear more revs, but the race version I think is a TT Sixxer, guess we’ll find out soon enough!

Yup, that’s why I chuckle when people act that way.

There’s reasons why the LSx and the GenV LTx stuff is getting swapped into everything possible.

That doesn’t play to the mantra a lot of people have with “Hurr durr, Murrican pushrod V8's are big, archaic, and heavy!”

There’s bound to be some floating around. The live feed was kinda grainy in some spots.

Stuff like this is a motorsports photographer’s paradise.

The views on the live feed were amazing. I really want to make it sometime in the not too distant future.

This was a cool sight as well:

Ahh, got the dates mixed up.  They stopped sales in the US market in 98, might as well have stopped production then lol.

I wholeheartedly agree. Toyota axed production of the Supra almost a decade before that, but still raced a JGTC chassis in an enduro w/ hybrid tech on top of it all.

Needs a feature for sure. Wonder where it is today?

Also, SARD has done some crazy stuff in the past, like the MC8R, a stretched V8 MR2.
