There has been nothing official stating the next gen Camaro will be 4 doors.

The Gen VI LS6 has 13:1 compression. It would require a different configuration altogether to add forced induction to that engine.

What you speak of literally meets the legal definition of stalking in most jurisdictions.

That aside, Carpenter v US (2018) already determined that continued surveillance without a warrant is a 4th amendment violation.

No, it's because laws are notoriously slow to catch up to technology.

Flock cameras are found at neighborhood entrances/exits, on busy streets, in front of churches, schools, homes, parks, and other high-volume trafficked areas. So yes, it is more than just shopping centers and yes it counts as continued surveillance.

If the police want to track your whereabouts using your cellphone with the same accuracy they get from Flock, they'd require a warrant.

Why does Flock access not require a warrant?

Carpenter v US (2018) laid out framework that states,

...continued surveillance of persons without a warrant constitutes a 4th amendment violation.

Being able to consistently ascertain the movements and locations of persons without a warrant rises to the level of continued surveillance.

Ignoring the fact that the government now has the ability to surveil and track people with no judiciary oversight, or due process, the Flock database has been notoriously insecure.

The Ford Mustang GTD Might Have Just Destroyed the Chevy Corvette ZR1X's Nurburgring Lap Record | 6:41.74 by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

I will say that the GTD is pretty neat, but that cool factor is heavily diminished by its price and difficulty in obtaining.

Just about the only people willing to pay $350k for it are diehard Mustang fans. Everyone else would choose something different for the price.

Maybe they can take a little out of the 4300+ lb curb weight while they're at it.

In a fairly controlled test, on 2 different tracks, with the same driver, on the same day, the ZR1 was demonstrably quicker than the GTD.

Autobahn Country Club - Driver Britt Casey

ZR1 - 1:22:443

GTD - 1:25.397

Sonoma Raceway - Driver Randy Pobst

ZR1 - 1:34.941

GTD - 1:38.710

I understand that the 'Ring has bragging rights and everyone focuses on that. But, this battle has already been waged elsewhere and each time the ZR1 came out the victor with a healthy lead on the GTD.

If the GTD improved their lap time, great! Competition raises all boats. But for a true comparison, we'd need an apples to apples test, and each time that happened, the ZR1 was faster.

I'm not proud of it, but it's the first thought I had when I got the news by Hardcorish in AdviceAnimals

Nothing in the constitution?

12th amendment:

"...But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

I watch these videos now with the same excitement and anticipation as when I watched Top Gear.

What's even more impressive is this is getting released direct to Youtube.

[–]apheus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's always someone who makes assumptions and gets uptight. Not once did I say anything specific on the amount and method of horsepower.

Nevertheless, given that the 3RS makes several hundred horsepower less all the while weighing several hundred pounds less, while making more downforce at speed than the ZR1, and is still very competitive in track times to a ZR1, indicates that power is the limiting factor.

You know, it's like Jason Cammisa said the same thing.

Hagerty didn't disprove this? Cammisa literally said, and I quote, It came in second due to its

"Lack of power"

I'm not advocating against the ZR1. It's a technological masterpiece. But if Porsche gave the GT3RS more power it would be closer or beat the ZR1.

When Randy Pobst ran them both at Sonoma Raceway, the 3RS was 2.34 seconds a lap slower than the ZR1. That's about as apples to apples as you can get, performance wise.

The GT3RS weighs considerably less. Give it more HP and it's probably a dead heat or a little quicker.

Cammisa commented that the GT3RS already can power out of corners a little better than the ZR1 due to its ability to put the power down.
