ACR works too!

I believe even the 997.2 Turbo S has done 2.6

These are electric Formula E racecars, so ludicrous speed need not apply. They weigh so much more than other open-wheelers and make only about 270hp for the short duration of time before they need to swap or charge batteries. The real solution to driverless electric racecars that aren’t crippled by battery weight and…

Considering the Mclaren makes only 177hp from its electric motor and more than half of the 918’s electric power (154 of 279hp) goes to the front wheels, I’m going to assume drifting would be very difficult on those fat, sticky tires.

Holy crap, that would make even Richard Hammond look tall, he’s 5’7” I believe.

Yeah, autojournalists basically have a consecutive, career-long series of one-night-stands with the vehicular equivalents of supermodels, idols, and even historic pin-up girls perpetually in their prime. And then they still appreciate banging the cute girl next door without a hint of being jaded.

Doesn’t make much of a difference whether it’s turbocharged or not, besides they make pretty much identical torque figures factoring in the electric motors.

Unfortunately, Ferrari is the biggest bullshitter when it comes to weight figures, because they only ever quote “dry” weight without fluids as opposed to the more standardized “wet” or “curb” weight. While ideally there would only be a 50-100kg difference between dry and wet to account for oil, coolant, and about half…

Despite Ferrari’s dry weight claims, it actually ends up being heavier than the P1 once you consider real curb weight. And downforce won’t do anything for 0-60, by the time the car is going fast enough to benefit from the added force on the tires traction wouldn’t be much of an issue due to it being in a higher gear…

The LaFerrari has the most power, RWD like the Mclaren, and also has less sticky Pzero Corsa tires versus Trofeo R. All that means is it’s struggling like mad to find traction off the line and is disadvantaged for the rest of the race. Of course, even at high speeds where grip is no issue it still can’t keep up with…

No, you’re wrong. N2O is also Nitrous Oxide, and delivers a power boost to engines. NO2 (and NO) are NOx emissions that VW diesels make way too much of.

Even a shady dude can sometimes still put out a decently good product. The Porsche 911 was created by a Nazi who was Hitler’s #1 engineer, and that turned out pretty great. Drug lord Pablo Escobar built several hospitals that still saved lives even though they were funded by cocaine money. I think whatever John…

This is pretty much a modern Shelby Cobra, yet for how iconic that car was nobody really seems to give the Venom much credit. I don’t care how production it is, a long Elise with 1200+hp is badass.

Dodge would benefit from a sports car that would slot under the Viper that would be a better base Corvette competitor, the Viper wouldn’t really be the right platform to do that with because a V8 won’t fit (surprisingly, I know) and detuning the V10 to a lower power level doesn’t really make it that much cheaper to…

Curious about which numbers? The TA and regular Viper are pretty identical in a straight line (minus the lower top speed due to drag), all Vipers even the ACR have the same power and weigh roughly the same. The Z51 does a 1/4 mile in 12 to 12.2 seconds depending on transmission, which is pretty damn fast for the price…

The Viper isn’t really an overall Corvette competitor, it’s only ever competed with the top of the line Corvettes whether they be called the Z06 or ZR1. So the fact that you can buy a $55k Vette isn’t really the point as the base C7 isn’t what the Viper is aiming for. In a straight line or around a track, the Viper…

A *used* Ferrari is only slightly more perhaps, the cheapest new Ferrari (the California) is still more than double the base price of a Viper, and a 458 or 488 is pretty much triple. A bigger worry for the Viper is probably Porsche, given that the $100-130k they were going for prior to the price reduction placed it…

No modern Viper would “try to kill you” on the track, the perpetuation of this myth which arose from the extremely spartan, unrefined, and probably questionably built first-gen Vipers seems to still be alive and strong 20 years later, forever condemning the Viper to a niche who aren’t as easily deterred by an…

Overrated doesn’t mean they are subpar. Many automakers’ DCTs are clearly very good, but not every DCT is as well programmed and absolutely seamless to shift as say Porsche’s PDK. In some cases, auto transmissions are just as fast while being smoother and better at very low speeds. Of course, the best DCT will shift…

Yeah, turning both heads and corners is kinda lacking for the Hellcats, especially in comparison to a Viper.
