Judging from the tracks at the corkscrew the hot lap happened after the 458 crashed. That would have added a little bit of pucker factor knowing a crash like this had just happened.

Didn't want to do a ninja edit, but realized my previous post missed the point. It doesn't look like the officer was involved in a high speed chase, it looks like he was responding to an officer who was being shot at.

Hard to know exactly what was going on, but if the officer was indeed responding to shots fired I have no problem with them being in a hurry to get there.

Wes, could you maybe redact the home addresses of the people involved? Not saying any Jalops are stupid, but there are other people who are going to stumble across this.

Wait, you guys all realize what this means right? IT MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE A RELIABLE ALFA!!!! That didn't seem nearly as cool when I saw it written down. Kind of like a Lamborghini with the rough edges polished off. Its just not the same.

Damn you Desu. Way to wrap up #COTD at 8:00 in the morning.

I like that a lot. Was scared that they would try to make the back windows to swoopy or do some other silliness to the back. Too bad we'll never get to see that here.

What monavich says. The Zonda is the hard edged hypercar that would seem to be more appealing to an F1 driver. The Hauyra is the still uber fast but softer around the edges grand tourer.

I like it.

Turn 10 are you listening? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...!!!! Please add in some of these custom one offs like the Glickenhaus P4/5. And the New Stratos. Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...!!!!

Well played Mr. Broadley.

For that you get a heart click!

Interesting when he starts talking tires right at the end. Wonder if they'll ever be able to make a tire thats got the grip of a race tire with the forgiveness of a street tire. Also probably gives a little insight into why Subaru went the way they did with the tires on the BRZ.

Lets not get all wound up now.

Is it weird that I was swooning over the toolbox harder than I was swooning for the car?

Really? I'm gonna have to start doing that more often. Does he do it when you redline in other gears too, or is it just second?

You almost killed my laptop. Just had a drink of coffee when I stumbled across this gem. I did manage to keep the coffee in my mouth though, so its all good. Thanks for the excellent start to my morning.

Except this is on its way out already. I think 2013 is the last year of the E-series before it gets dumped in favor of the Transport platform being rolled out globally.

Well... Actually the last gen RS had the Volvo T5. The new ST has a Ford Ecoboost. AFAIK the new four cylinders they are using are 100% Ford designs.
