So you're saying a manufacturer tested car with race tires is faster than:

A 30 dB reduction is a 99.9% reduction in radiated sound power, which your ears perceive as a sound that is 87.5% quieter. More importantly, it makes your AR hearing-safe. There are diminishing returns on suppressors and to reduce sound even more would require a considerable increase in size and weight, like the Metro…
That "modern" engine makes 180 hp from 5.9 liters and costs $28,000 for a fuel-injected model. That's not that impressive just because it can run for 2000 hours, in fact most of the cost is paperwork and inspection. I bet if you spent $28,000 on an endurance 5.9 Hemi it could run just as long making more power.…
Freight is very cheap on a per-pound basis compared to parcel service, except right at the threshold. This is especially true if you're renting an entire truckload.
Layman opinion here, but I'd imagine this car's engine would be similar to a One:1's but with the torque curve shifted down the rev range at the expense of top-end power. Based on the One:1 dyno sheet it makes 270 hp and 500+ lb-ft before 3000 rpm and that's before the turbos spool. Adding to that, the motors make 600…
The motors have 400 hp and 600 lb-ft.
The viper ACR-X ran bridge-to-gantry in 7:03, and it's still only $110,000. I'd bet most of that gain is race tires though, and it likely wouldn't get too far into the 6 minute range even with another $90k in improvements. I couldn't find a time for the Z06 GT3, but it has competition aero which wouldn't help as much…
Turbines are highly efficient at peak power, some industrial turbines operate above 60% peak efficiency. No IC piston engine can accomplish that. With a range-extended electric setup the turbines would only need to operate to charge the batteries, so they would always be able to operate at peak power.
The Integra Type R was sold in the USA.
It is interesting that when they went to bomb Syria in 2013, the quickly backed down to the superior Russian force (5 US destroyers and a Carrier vs 4 Russian Destroyers, 2 Slava Class Cruisers, and a Kirov-Class Heavy Nuclear Powered Guided Missile Cruiser) and took the backdoor option that Moscow provided.
She isn't even eligible for an FIA Superlicense, which means that unless she goes back to the minor leagues and shows that she has significantly improved her skills then she will never get seat time in an actual F1 car.
A fire extinguisher is only good for small fires. If you get a small fire, such as from an oil leak, then the fire extinguisher is the difference between engine repairs and total loss. Unless you have premium insurance "full coverage" is a myth and you will not get paid in full for the loss.
My 2007 Acura will display the code in the maintenance menu, so that's at least one car that does this.
It's amazing that 4 years ago they was widespread doubt about Tesla's ability to deliver a quality product and now they are the benchmark for electric car performance.
My buddy got his Tundra for $5k off sticker with 0% financing, in a current model year.
