Right now they are at 355. Though only the factory Pirellis come that wide so many owners would probably end up running 345s again.

I think Jeremy has had a falling out with the mighty Gods of combustion and horsepower. When's the last time you've heard him yelling "POOOWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" while going mad in a massive engined car...and actually liking it without thinly veiled criticism? It's been a while.

I'm with you. On a Corvette it doesn't make sense. The hatch has enough area to stow stuff as it is, the extra cubic foot or so that the shooting brake would yield wouldn't be worth the worse visibility, uglier roofline (don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of actual wagons), and increased mass. It's not as if making the…

Mazda builds a dedicated RWD platform for the Miata and they use it for just one car. One car! Make a Miata coupe, or a sedan, or a wagon, or a pickup, or a shooting brake! Why hasn't this happened yet?

I think the old GT might still be better for the standing mile, because it's fairly aerodynamic. The new one seems like it would be much better at producing downforce, but that usually comes with a drag penalty. With the active aero and that sleek profile it does look like it will be pretty good at balancing downforce…

Well, none of those mile slaying GTs are stock. So the real question is, how much more power do you think they could squeeze out of the new smaller engine?

You guys sound like you would have run a hybrid rocket powered 3 wheeler if it were somehow allowed. This is awesome!

They aren't stupid, they will only bring carbon to mass market and affordable cars when they have the ability to do so without jacking up the price unreasonably. But it's kind of a chicken and egg thing, because the best way to decrease costs is to produce it in larger quantities, but the only way it's feasible to…

By that logic we get the Aston One-77 too, since Multimatic did its chassis and carbon fiber.

The final drive ratio was changed, otherwise the gearing would be way too tall. And that's not what you want on a car with a peak torque of just 200lbft at 8000 rpm.

The 500 doesn't have a supercharger. There was a limited production Caterham (the Levante) with a 2.4L supercharged V8.

An 86 with an incredibly expensive 11,000 rpm engine? Can we do an Initial D remake?

The Hellcat is selling like hotcakes. Sure, it wouldn't be as all round a good car as say a BMW M3 for the same price, but $65k for 700+hp will always be an incredible bargain to musclecar fans who can afford it. Besides, not many people who are serious about drag racing would bring a car with no intention of running…

The live rear axle would be a bit of a hindrance on say crappy roads or a bumpy track, but 600+hp supercharged Mustangs are bought usually for going fast in a straight line, where the live axle might actually help a bit on a drag strip. And given how much weight the 2015 Mustang GT has gained thanks to IRS and other…

Yeah. They wouldn't give a hoot about what the badge is since the first thing they see isn't a badge but an awesome supercar shape. Some might even notice that it made a sort-of cameo appearance in the Avengers movie, giving it (also Iron Man based) movie star power just like the Audi R8, which nobody accuses of being…

The Veyron Super Sport I think. The regular Veyron was closer to 1:19 which isn't really bad for a 2 ton car but when compared to other supercars near its price range (or even a little Caterham R500 on cold tires) it isn't as amazingly fast as it seems.

It's just what Ford calls any gasoline engine with a turbo these days. Ironic because it would make more sense to call their small turbodiesel engines (which we don't get) "ecoboost" given they actually are more economical. But rest assured, if this 3.5 V6 gets 14 mpg it would still be called Ecoboost. If they made a…

That's not how %s work, 100% less of anything would be nothing and the NSX isn't free. But it will be close to half the price of a 458, making it 50% less expensive. Sorry, I'm pedantic.

Well folks, THREE YEARS LATER, here we are. It's been eight years since the original promise of a new NSX. Six years since the development of a V10-powered race car that we all thought would turn into an NSX. Five years since further speculation about the production-ready NSX. Four years since the NSX showed up in The…

The front looks all wrong (the headlights look too big and the chromed beak needed to die, like 6 years ago) but from pretty much any other angle it's a fine car. But then again, it looks almost exactly the same as the concept they showed in 2012, with a few changes that aren't necessarily for the better visually so…
