in 1991. The Covette didn't crest that until the LT4 in 1996. Hell, the base Corvette didn't go past 350 until 2005 with the C6.

I think GM only caught a little bit of shit for offering the Z06 with an automatic. These aren't the 4L60E days. But I do recall numerous articles complaining about the Supra not getting a manual when that news broke a few months back. GM's 8 speed is garbage. The ZF 8 speed is awesome. And I agree...

I drove a 2018 Sierra with that 8 speed. I hated the way it drove. GM doesn't use ZF 8 speed... it is their own design last I checked? Correct. The GM 8 speed is garbage and problematic, while the ZF 8 speed is nice. I think GM only caught a little bit of shit for offering the Z06 with an automatic...

It's just interesting to see how much crap GM gets for offering a slush box in the Corvette, yet Toyota can do it with the ZOMG Supra and it's all amazing.

I haven't updated this in a while because it has been one tumultuous adventure. We had continued with the bodywork: sanding, applying coats, more sanding, and more applying. https://stored-edge.slickpic.com/MTc2MjgzNjlmNGU1OWE,/20190115/MTU3NDQ4MzE0YWY0/p/800/IMG_20181213_210002.jpg https://stored-e...

The real social experiment will be seeing if the Supra owners are more apt to using their turn signals than their BMW counterparts.

It's almost like putting all of your eggs into one basket is a bad plan.
1998: SUVs! We need all teh SUVs!
2008: Fack! Sedans! Errything sedans!
2018: Sumbitch! SUVs! Roll out teh SUVs!
I'd hate for them to figure out that it doesn't need to be a pendulum.

Yesterday I had to get gas which I hate (as previously stated), car took 15.4 gallons in my 15.8 gallon tank, running on fumes because :aintcare: went a "whopping" 310 miles. :disgust: I miss the days of the 500 mile fill up in my TDI.

If I'm paying $30K+ for a vehicle, it damn-well better have a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Yeah, I agree with you. Here's my biggest issue: My Z06/Z07 with the aero kit as I ordered it had an MSRP of $103,295. To "upgrade" to a ZR1 and have the same interior, just basically adding the Wing and driveline update the car MSRP is $142,540. Approaching $150k the thing really better be nice in...

I'm with you. I'll take comfort with decent performance over all-out stats. I give zero fucks about how many Gs the car pulled on the skid test because I'm not hitting anything near those forces on my way to and from work.

Looks like they're going to go with a CCS plug in Europe, allowing the cars to charge fast anywhere. Europe's charging infrastructure is growing faster than Tesla could build superchargers. I imagine the same thing will happen in China. The US is really the biggest challenge for EV adoption requiri...
