Quick, someone do the math to find the Gs in that corner. Whats the estimated radius?

This gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, at my first HPDE I had an instructor and despite the rain during the day, hardly felt like something like this was a possibility at all. I drove within the constraints of my confidence and the grip. Then you get something like this, on a clear day, and I second guess myself,…
...when routine maintenance if finally required.
Can/would McLaren rebuild it like Mr Bean's F1? Obviously the values are significantly different, but I think it would be possible.
I have a spreadsheet going where I'm tracking things like private sale value (based on other similar cars for sale now) and trade in value, along with what I owe on the car and how much I'm saving every month. It's a delicate balance but hopefully the numbers will start to fit together soon and a new GTI Performance…
Pricing for this one will be interesting. I can't wait to see the numbers and sit in one at a dealership (provided it stays on the lot long enough).
Did the rental have Nokians?
When my first Golf caught fire, I was stuck because I wanted a new GTI but they were not available yet. I jumped into another Golf of the same year. While I really love the car I have now, I should have considered the experience of driving a crap car for a year or two and banked that payment away. Now I just have to…
How do you think the handling would be improved by a stiffer chassis and lower weight provided by the coupe?
How do you think the buyer profiles differ with the other 2 2WD Jeeps on the cheap list?
Great story. I feel like Scandinavia really connects with Canada and its hearty citizens. I'd love to go and hoon some snow!
In Ford's push to "performance-ize all the things", what are the chances we see a Ford Escape ST? Drop the 2.3L EcoBoost from the Mustang in and lower the suspension a little bit. That could be fun, right?
You're right about that, I think it was discussed a lot in the video posting yesterday. Left lane driver is certainly not off the hook but it's within her right to be in the left lane.
And when you arrived home with your food, you realized that everything was smushed together because every corner makes you drive like an F1 racer.
1st: I'm OK with VW trimming the fat, but I really hope that fat doesn't hit my future plans for a 3 door GTI. Here in Canada the 5 door GTI is only available as an Autobahn edition, which bumps the price about $4k over the base 3 door. Now, I was going to get the 3 door Performance, which itself is $1-2k more than…
I love the ones where he honks and the other driver honks back.
Unless the car is in the Jalop segment. I see cars like ST brothers, GTI and WRX offering the manual for a while.
Fantastic story. I bought a Blue Angels DVD pack a couple years ago that seems to be around 2004-2005 (they mention Boss Bartlett and the hurricane) so I wonder if Linus is in it?
Boss! I feel like a white Golf is part of my identity now. I might swap my all seasons for summer tires this spring but otherwise I'm trying to save my pennies for a GTI Performance.
