Getting completely nonsensical for a moment: theoretically what would be more beneficial to prevent frame bending in a Raptor if you happened to be heading for a possible jump at 100mph? A massive ton of downward force (like say a jet engine bolted vertically to the bed) to prevent it getting much air or a big glider…

It isn't when you consider a BMW i8 or even a Porsche 918 with its huge battery and immense brake regen can deplete their electric charge within a few hard laps of a track in the hands of a pro. Not to mention how quickly a P1 can burn through a full charge at the track with its smaller battery and no regen braking.…

I'm not surprised really. The C6 ZR1 has a better power to weight ratio as the extra 12hp the C7 Z06 has can't overcome it being 200lb heavier. The C7's possible gearing and grip advantage lets it pull off the line quicker maybe, and I don't think we've seen many races and times with the auto Z06 yet in the real…

I really don't see how they could have modernized the looks of the last GT while still keeping it retro and faithful to the 1960's GT40. I too miss some of the curves and secretly wish it were still a brawny V8 with no nannies and a stick, but this is 2015 and progress is progress.

I'm calling it, eventually someone is going to try and shoehorn in the flatplane 5.2.

Everybody forgets about the Viper now :(

And the Vipers were just getting going too, after overcoming teething issues. It's like as soon as they started getting wins they took the phrase "quit while you're ahead" to heart and just bailed everything. It's a shame, though I do wonder whose arm they have to twist to allow an 8L V10 into a displacement capped…

The Viper V10 has a really strange firing order, even for a V10. The engine layout was originally (and I mean, as in way back when it was an iron block truck motor) based on a more standard V8 with 2 extra cylinders. As such, it's bound to sound fundamentally different from other smaller, high revving V10s (BMW,…

While not necessarily better than a hatch or wagon, there are some advantages to a sedan:

I don't know why you're calling Steve Sutcliffe a retard, but a good driver would actually drain the batteries quicker on a track than a less experienced one, since they would be more tempted to over-brake (thus recharging it more) and not be as aggressive getting on the throttle out of corners. Not saying Steve is a…

You're right, I was wondering why Kyubey didn't have his red eyes.

It doesn't really work with the new Toyota 86. The AE86 is a relatively mudane looking economy car with the dirty little secret that it's RWD, lightweight, and very well sorted. The Toyobaru immediately screams "sports car" or at least "sporty car" even if the low(ish) weight and power and RWD-ness make it a decent…

Madoka should avoid the Kyubey car.

I'd rock the Kyubey one.

If the ass end on a FWD car comes out in the snow, you can still countersteer. Also unless it's so slippery you get no grip from either axle at all (in which case FWD/RWD doesn't matter much) adding more throttle while countersteering will usually straighten out an oversteering FWD car just fine. RWD is much more…

Shouldn't have needed to shut down the airport. Just carefully check the bag, tell the guy he is an idiot, at worst confiscate the bag and/or kick him off the flight. Shutting down the whole airport after the mention of the "b" word is pure overkill and fear mongering. Besides, if someone really did try to bring a…

I think the weight for the F150 is wrong. Sure, it's aluminum now, but I'm pretty sure even the lightest configuration is close to 5000lb.

Probably 0-60 since it's traction limited for RWD cars, but the LaFerrari should easily run very low 10s or high 9s in the 1/4.

They twin turboed it. Because apparently 500hp is not nearly enough.

You forgot step 1.5: Add 800+hp racing V8
