They should bring back GT1 or something similar. Keep the current GTE at around 500hp, but create a new higher level that can actually run similar power figures to road going supercars (up to 700ish).

500hp is more than 99% of drivers could really need on a racetrack, especially in something as light and well set up as a GT3. For those who want more, the GT2 exists for the entire purpose of being a GT3 with turbos and face melting amounts of power...at the expense of some turbo lag, less immediate and predictable…
I think it depends on how it’s implemented. The top mounted wing looks gorgeous on a Koenigsegg Regera for instance (even cooler that it’s fully retractable), but pretty hideous on the Mclaren Senna.
I know that the 488 Pista must be an incredible machine, but is it really any surprise that the SF90 is considerably quicker? It’s got an extra 275hp and AWD, which definitely helps put the power down on a track as short and technical as Dunsfold. Wonder what the LaFerrari would have done in better conditions as…
Isn’t that an early C8 test mule? Ironically its design looks more cohesive than the actual production Vette.
40k really isn’t unreasonable for this, especially if it’s putting out 400hp as some rumor. Maybe they could somehow offer a base model with either the existing VQ37 or (more likely) some turbo 4 that can slot in at the low 30s.
Wait, it’s all corn-based?
A gordita is prepared as a smaller, thicker tortilla. And it falls under “tortilla based dishes” on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tortilla-based_dishes)
Almost all of your examples fit the “stereotypical” Mexican dish combination in different ways.
To be fair, I’m sure it would still be quick and fun enough with the i4 and stick. The 2.3 already makes 310hp in the Mustang, so a tune would easily close the gap to the 2.7 V6.
They might hold off on the Speedster until at least the 992.2 or whatever’s after. And Porsche isn’t going to make a fully electric 911 anytime soon, they’ll probably make an EV Cayman/Boxster instead.
I think they mean the staggered wheel diameter (less common and new to the 992) rather than staggered tire widths, which is pretty much a given for any mid or rear engined car.
Yeah I just checked Porsche’s website and there are 15 911 models listed (14 minus the 4S Targa Heritage Edition)...and 20 versions of the Panamera, interestingly enough.
If the transmission is in neutral, then it wouldn’t contribute much friction as it’s decoupled. There would still be friction and rotational inertia of the rest of the drivetrain (wheels, hubs, half shafts, differential...)
“Say ‘power’ again. Say ‘power’ again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say power one more Goddamn time!”
I’m sure Lotus’s suspension magic fuckery is why this car must be as great to drive as all the reviewers make it out to be, but agreed that 3200 lbs is downright lardy by Lotus standards. At least there’s still the Exige (~2500 lbs) and Elise (~2000 lbs).
Agreed about Celsius versus Fahrenheit, they are both relative scales and any serious calculations involving temperature would use an absolute scale (Kelvin or Rankine, which is less common). Celsius and Fahrenheit are defined based on things that were fairly tangible at the time. The freezing point of water is 0 C,…
The C8 is a low 11s car even on an unprepped surface, while a GT500 isn’t coming anywhere near 10s without a perfect launch at a very sticky strip. A C8 would leave a GT500 spinning its tires at a stoplight, though obviously from a roll or up to higher speeds the GT500 finds its legs and puts its extra 265hp to use.…
Power and torque only become equal at 5252 rpm in imperial units of horsepower and foot pounds. The graph is in metric units of kilowatts and Newton meters, so the crossover point actually works out to 9549 rpm.
