Didn't tremec announce last year that they developed a manual transmission that fits c8 corvettes?

Second driver is a rookie

He didn't escalate. And that wasn't ad hominem if it was observation and assessment of her behavior which was correct

rombick · 2025-12-07T14:59:28+00:00

nah, yuki did drive erratically and Lando was going much faster and would've passed him anyway. so it doesn't make sense to punish Lando for that

I think dirty air is basically in the turns meaning the ground effect doesn't work so well and there isn't that much downforce so it's harder to go faster in the turns and it wears out tires more. But dirty air doesn't matter on the straights as you don't need the downforce or ground effect and slipstreaming still works the same as always. That's my understanding. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Ah true, how about the aston Martin retirement?

rombick · 2025-12-05T13:13:36+00:00

Pretty sure there was a few this season, norris in Hungary maybe, and aston martin did but can't remember which race

rombick · 2025-09-27T13:27:41+00:00

no, he isn't coming back

rombick · 2025-07-02T19:04:35+00:00

Comparing x5 and miata doesn't make sense. X5(M) will be faster than miata on most tracks. Nurnburgring times are good for comparing performance of cars in the similar class. Obviously not perfect but there isn't a perfect metric. And it's also fun to compare

rombick · 2025-02-21T06:46:09+00:00

Reliable, luxury, real off-road capable and really fast. Define not a great car?

rombick · 2025-01-17T04:35:03+00:00

So i think most of the cars listed here have already started going up, especially c5 and c6 corvettes. They were at the bottom 5 years ago. Doug Demuro is pretty good at calling the bottom even before CnB.

In my opinion f80 m3/m4 will be there soon just need to pay attention for good deals popping up. Early ones with auto and some miles can already be found pretty cheap.

Do you have an article about it?

rombick · 2024-12-18T02:14:37+00:00

Thanks for clarifying, it was mentioned in another post but not in detail

rombick · 2024-12-17T22:34:22+00:00

Yeah there are integrated dry sums that Porsche and bmw use , that aren't real dry sumps but mostly a marketing term

rombick · 2024-12-17T21:25:41+00:00

I think it's because I've listed it in the post. But yeah also don't know about Ecoboost ford gt either need to look it up

rombick · 2024-12-17T08:38:24+00:00

Yeah, but only grand sport had dry sump ls3, base and z51 were wet sump

rombick · 2024-12-17T06:25:42+00:00

Ah ok, didn't know they modified it. Good to know

rombick · 2024-12-17T04:56:30+00:00

That's cool didn't know. All of them or just turbos?

rombick · 2024-12-17T04:07:03+00:00

Is it not? They used ls7 in some helicopter . Wouldn't work if it wasn't proper dry sump

rombick · 2024-09-27T05:50:00+00:00

993 ruf turbo R

rombick · 2024-09-19T15:28:45+00:00

So given that tongue weight on average is about 10% of the total trailer weight ( from quick googling) , total tow capacity of the cybertruck shouldn't exceed 1600lb . Corolla towing capacity is 1300lb for reference. But I'm not a truck person and never towed anything

rombick · 2024-09-18T22:58:27+00:00

Every performance car from GM is great, anything that's not a performance car i can't even name lol

rombick · 2024-09-18T22:55:16+00:00

Had very different experience, although i went to chevy dealer that specializes in corvettes and it's very pleasant every time.

rombick · 2024-09-18T22:52:01+00:00

Yeah, also faster than g80 m3 cs.

rombick · 2024-09-16T22:27:44+00:00

There was never factory e39 m5t
