I take the A line from Rockaway Beach everyday to Fulton Street Downtown and I see some fuckin stupid shit, like grown adults like these assholes having a heavy make out sesh at 7:10 am..for the entire duration of the ride, do you not have a home to do this in?...is the idea of commuting to work really getting you all…

I can tell you that my Audi RS4 hunts down a lot of cars on the track. Stock. And it understeers some but not a ton. I’m sure Porsche got a lot of shit too for where they put the engine. Makes no sense either.

Sigh.

This car is so sexy I want to text it awkwardly for a few days before driving around with it for like 30 minutes deciding on where to eat and then slowly lose communication with it after dinner until I see it again a few months later when it’s somehow engaged

The Tow Trucks.

Should spend that money on a gym membership.

Buzz, your girlfriend.

As Adam Panzica points out, you are completely neglecting gear ratios. The article does state, “HP is what accelerates a car” and I would agree that is not strictly true. As you say (in different terms) Acceleration = Force (torque) divided by Mass (moment of inertia). So, it’s obvious instantaneous acceleration is…

I’m a mechanical engineer, and I’d like to congratulate you on your piece of paper that says you are a mechanical engineer. That’s not a qualification that makes your argument better or worse, just arrogant.

I would’ve expected it in a Ford Escape.

Had he driven down from Vermont?

Reliability issue. That’s why Veyron needs 8L engine and 4 turbos. Guys who push Skylines and Supras beyond 1000hp feel/listen their engines, when something is off, they know what to do. Regular buyer don’t. For regular buyer you need to keep safety/reliability margin so they wouldn’t burn the engine down first week…

I would think that you could squeeze the extra 100hp out with just a tune. This seems like a lot of complexity for a relatively modest increase.

The good thing about the Irish is they always have a potato with them, so they can film stuff like this.

I hope you can keep track of it and one day get it back. Best of luck to you.

Once you verify Mr. zziro’s story, please, please do right by him. Fly him out. Let him see the car again. I am sure that will fit in the marketing budget somewhere. Remember, it is the love of guys like him that make these cars so valuable in the first place.

That’s a beautiful memory - love the haircut, I had the same.
