Your explanation the purpose of ART is a bit off(the video is a little misleading in what it chose to display as the problem). Our mechanics are all trained and capable for what they are given. However in some rare and extremely difficult cases where it is out of a mechanics normal range of ability (crazy computer… Read more

This thing only weighs 2495 lbs…

And let's not forget, we're talking about a car that weighs 2,495 pounds when specced with options you don't have to choose. That's 50 pounds less than a soft-top Miata. Or to sharpen that point even further, the 4C undercuts the Cayman by nearly 500 pounds and weighs 550 pounds less than the Lotus Evora. Read more

The luggage space behind the engine is big enough to fit a carry-on size roller bag and maybe a jacket. I fit an overstuffed backpack, a camera bag, and a helmet with some work. There's no glovebox or armrests or cubbies or mesh pockets. Even the cupholders are miserable. You can't access what's under the hood, but… Read more

Amazing win by Audi; bad luck for Toyota. But the Porsches! In the first year back in 16 years they looked like a win was possible with around 3 hours to go. Read more

[Apparently, it's only been absolutely FORBIDDEN to turn everything in the paddock into a giant fireball since 1998 at Le Mans.] Read more

So many angles to this entire subject. When Ben Bowlby designed the all conquering Lola B2K/00 Champ Car of the early 2000s did Adrian Reynard consider suing him and Lola Cars? Absolutely not. However, the Delta Wing was a project commissioned by Bowlby's then boss Chip Ganassi, with no technical rules to conform to.… Read more

Exactly. As an engineer who has worked directly in the field of tuning performance values for electric drivetrains, I struggle to see how tune-able these EVs are going to be. Even as an OEM, with access to all the documentation on the software, variables, feature sets, benchmark data etc, a team of engineers still… Read more

People against putting new tech in old cars are dangerous fanatics and they need to be stopped or just given jobs as museum curators. You drive an old car cause it looks better than anything else out there, not to relieve the experience of drum brakes. Read more

The original article says "Specifically, they chose a rust-free T-code 1968 Mustang fastback that Mitch found in Houston, since re-powered by a 289-cu.in. small-block." Read more

I'm pretty sure they replaced it with the 302 for the '68 model year. Maybe they used 289s early on, but either way, I'm not mourning the loss of either one when it's replaced with 1800 ft/lb of torque. Read more

You're going to have to take that one up with Ford, because they're more than certain that they made plenty of 1968 Mustangs with 289s. Read more

In that case, I withdraw my complaint. While a fastback with a straight 6 might be rare I doubt there's much demand for it, which would be the critical thing in determining the value. Read more

The '68 never came with a 289, so if that's accurate, they're not exactly throwing out the original engine. More than likely, it WAS a 6-cylinder car. However, 6-cylinder fastbacks are probably very rare, so either way, someone's going to be pissed. Read more

Texas-based tech CEO Mitch Medford reached out to Wayland after seeing the White Zombie in action, and decided he wanted a classic EV of his own. Being a muscle car guy, a Datsun wasn't going to cut it, so he found this cherry 1968 fastback with a 289 cu.-in. small-block. And then had Wayland rip it out. Read more
