Nice to see RBR experimenting with new power sources like cringe. Read more

Typical teenagers, ready to climb mountains for minutes of pleasure. Read more

VW really needs to get into NASCAR. Their cheating will finally get the award and respect it deserves. Read more

It’s also worth pointing out the most recent V-16, which Rolls Royce developed for the Phantom but did not use. One was dropped into a Phantom Coupé for Johnny English: Reborn, because Rowan Atkinson is a wonderful, insane enthusiast. Read more

In the 1930's, Cadillac, Pierce Arrow, Lincoln, etc.. used 16 cylinders to make the engine smoother, not necessarily more powerful. Duesenberg straight-8's were the super cars of the era. Read more

They should make an S90R with just a driver seat, for weight reduction. Read more

I've been to some COMSCC events with him as well at NHIS. Great guy! (my car's the white POS in the background :) )

I actually have raced with this guy many many times. We both race with the New England Hillclimb Association.
