I see your "In the Shadow of the Moon" and raise you "When We Left Earth"

I love seeing this car in race mode, but like others have suggested, I think the team needs to rethink its branding strategy in order to prevent stuff like this in the future. What livery would look good on it and make it stand out from the ground?

A screen on the camera itself would not benefit the GoPro for its intended purpose. It's designed to be mounted somewhere and record everything for editing later. There's an LCD backpack that lets you line the shot up right, but that's all it needs.

So is this now part of the break-in procedure for new Mustangs? I'm sure bouncing it off the rev-limiter like that is fantastic for an engine that's straight from the assembly line.

I could not believe how nonchalant he was about jumping off the "skateboard". So awesome!

I was curious how the numbers compare together, so I made this Excel chart.

I made an Arduino GPS data logger from a kit and recorded trips in my car for 2 or 3 weeks. My original intention was to learn about pattern matching in Python and plot a single map with lines based on the frequency of the trips. That's still in the "to do" list, though.

For Canada thanksgiving weekend, I drove ~1200km and have filled up once, with the latest tank at about 3/8 full.

The Raptor updates make me sad. Mostly because I so want that vehicle that it pains me to see others not appreciate its capabilities and respect it for what it does.

If I had to drive only one car for the rest of my driving life, it would be a 1M.

Pretty sure this will be my next car! If I get the white one, not many people will even notice it's different.

Man, that's the kind of engineering I love! Looking at conventional problems from an unconventional perspective is the way progress is made, so I can't wait to see this compete again next year.

Pretty good list. I think I'm going to get a cold air intake, short throw shifter, ECU tune, and new tires for my future GTI.

What has your experience with the APR tune been like? Do you notice it as a daily driver? If you have it serviced a dealer, have they ever brought it up?

4WD, RWD or FWD? We need more RWD hot hatches!

Yep, my dream garage now has a M3, M5, Ford GT and Porsche 918 Spyder.

As mentioned, I'm going to say Cold Air Intake and ECU tune.

Wow, that looks unbelievable. Looks like the Ford GT just got a stable mate in my dream garage!

Probably difficult to tell, but I wonder if it was the adhesive or suction cup mount? I've driven my car with the suction cup mount and been surprised at how solid it is.

That is a fine looking motorcar. It looks very well balanced. I'm assuming there will be some active aero? That much power without a true real spoiler could be a handful.
