Wife used to work as engineer for auto company in socal, FF were poaching a LOT of top talent all over town last year with top salaries and promises of future profit sharing; MANY ppl thought it was actually Apple behind the scenes early on since the money and ambition seemed to be endless.

It seems worth noting that LeEco appears to be in serious trouble as well and has also seriously behind on payments: Read more

The Ferrari in that topshot is amazing. When does it come out?

They did make a FWD SVX. They’re even rarer. Read more

I’ve said it once, I’ve probably said it a thousand times... As long as drivers’ education programs aren’t standardized and as long as people don’t ever have to retest, drivers are going to be utterly horrid as a default state. Nobody learns properly to begin with, and even when people get told what to do they don’t… Read more

Go get that 2017 Raptor and run it on the same course and lets see how much faster IT is!!! Read more

Check out NJminGP. It’s roadracing on a kart track with a stock 100cc class. They even have rental bikes.

The style of some of those ‘70's and early 80's vehicles were pretty decent. I always thought the Caddys of that era still kept some of the original flair.

My father had a 1983 Eldorado which he parked on the street on night in NYC. When he came back to it the next morning, the front bumper (yes, the entire chrome… Read more

Never liked the look of the last generation F-bodies. While the third gens from the 1980s looked nice, the fourth gens looked so overdone to me. The Firebird in particular was always so cartoonish, and I was put off by it even as a kid. As an adult, from the back they look nice. In the side profile they’re quite… Read more

my second car was a 1996 black-on-black, T-tops, stock and mint-condition. Automatic, but don’t judge me, I was a high-school kid and we got a stellar deal on it. Later I dropped it with Eiback springs, added 17" LG Motorsports wheels, and Borla cat-back. Also had a fantastic stereo with MB Quarts and a sweet amp,… Read more

A Red WS6 with Borla Exhaust and cam was the baddest ass sounding thing coming down my street in the late 90's. When the guy put a supercharger on it and then took me for a ride, I felt my life was complete. Then he let me sit in the drivers seat and rev it a little and I went to heaven, I was 18 at the time. I… Read more

Pontiac engineers in the 90s- “We need a way to get air to the engine. Should we use a grille like everyone else? NO! Only several hood scoops will work!” Read more

You have it all wrong, Raphael, the winner’s version was the Formula, much cleaner and rarer than the T/A and faster because it was lighter. I owned an ‘02 that put down 330/343 to the wheels with just an air box and Hypertech PP3, man was that LS-1 underrated.... Read more

Ahh yes, I do miss the styling of muscle/pony cars before they went “RETRO ALL THE THINGS!”.

Inspiration:

The FRC is significantly less expensive, can often be found south of $15k USD. Also if you’re building a track car it makes more sense to start with an FRC than a Z06 if you’re going to do engine work. It would be a waste to buy an LS6 and then rebuild it with better heads, intake and oiling as doing the same to an… Read more
