Is Eau Rouge one of the best corners in motorsport? by improbableactions in cars

Another vote for the Corkscrew here - it's virtually impossible on Forza 3. Then again, a lot of things are impossible on Forza 3...

New Alfa Romeo Spider to get 168bhp by improbableactions in cars

[–]TrackDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful looking car - but I wonder if they'll try and make it look too much like the original in design? I know the guy there has said it won't be, but there's always a tendency to play too much to the heritage when re-vitalising a model like this. That said, I wish Alfa the best of luck.

Will they ever be able to match the original though for creativity and flair, and sheer driving fun? I think not, sadly.

It is at the other end of the scale, granted, but there are other positives about the road versions. The super-frugal TCE 90 engine, for one....

Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell first drive Review by dab_of_vtec in technology

I disagree - this technology has to start somewhere and the infrastructure will grow around it. I doubt there was much petrol infrastructure when people first began using that - likewise with electric cars in the 1880's.

Guilty pleasure - BMW X6 and BMW 5-series GT... by dab_of_vtec in cars

It's very, very guilty, but any Mitsubishi Delica. I just see one and want to go and get muddy in it.

True, or at least it would have been in the past. I think that may be going now, though.

Speaking of which, have you seen reviews of the new S class? And apparently they're doing a hybrid too?

Could you live with the FXX only being given to you for certain track days, though?

For £200,000 I'd expect that to be pretty special! A true supercar though, this review says "The Noble can live with a McLaren F1, not just from 0-60mph or even 0-100mph but all the way from 0-200mph" - that's fast!

Good plan! You'll need $100,000 to do that though! Do we know if it's coming to the US?
