1st Gear:

Our winning car was not the outright fastest, but it was in the top 3 or top 5 in terms of speed. We won because it was more consistent. The cars that had the fastest single runs slowed down considerably as the races went on.

Lol it looked better as a thumbnail in my phone’s gallery. Didn't realize how bad it was. My apologies.

There’s plenty of rule-bending that goes on in Pinewood Derby, too.

C4 is better looking than the C5.

Cut $3K from the price and it'd be a winner.

They somehow managed to make the hideous concept grille even worse for the production model.

The headlights look terrible, everything else looks good though.

Who would spend $63K on a mildly warmed-up STI?

*Yawn*

Any car with 100K+ miles and asking over $10K is CP.

It'd be NP if it wasn't for the significant rust issues. If there wasn't any rust, this could make a nice cruiser.

None of these numbers mean anything unless they’re dynoing the car in a 1:1 gear ratio, which IIRC, the C8 doesn’t have. The C8's 4th gear is the closest at 1.22:1. Unless it's 1:1 though, torque multiplication will skew the numbers.

False. LT2 is a 6.2L Gen V pushrod small block.

Way overpriced for an out-of-warranty German sports car with over 100K miles.

It’d be great if companies came up with aftermarket hybrid kits, where you could add an electric motor and associated hardware to your existing ICE drivetrain to improve performance and fuel economy. There's been a couple one-offs done by performance shops, but no consumer-ready kits.

Would love to do an EV conversion on a classic car, but 110 HP ain't enough. Need at least 300.

Would look better without the ducktail spoiler.

Neutral: ~250 miles of range sounds adequate to me, but I’d like this hypothetical EV to have ~400 HP/TQ, and not cost an arm and a leg (so, $35K or less). And it shouldn’t look like an econobox (Leaf, Bolt, etc.) or have awkward proportions (Model 3).
