Looks like the Russians are getting into the game. Definitely a retro style.

Hmmm, methinks it's yet another invention from Kalashnikov that's destined to kill millions of people.

Ingenious plan!....AK-47's are easy to spot, but who would suspect an innocent looking electric car? Wasn't this tried before with the "Yugo", all tho, not electric?...Simply diabolical!....Makes Dodge seem like Angels...

 

[VoodooBoss]

This is kinda funny.

Was he pulled over for playing "Pong" on his computer while driving?

How come we never see Cops this calm and considerate on the six o'clock news?...Oops...sorry...commentary outside this Forum's realm..............Back to racin...NASCAR to take away restictor plates at Daytona and Taladega next year for the Cup Boys, BUT also reduce HP at tracks 1.5 mile plus from 750 HP to 550 HP. Their reasoning is to provide better competitiveness (maybe also MPH below 200?). Why did we have 750 HP to begin with???....This may open the door for Helcats??..or our GT350's???...I know, Mustangs will be in the Cup series next year, anyways............At this rate I'll be able to run my Boss in the Infinity series!( without a restrictor plate.LOL)

Rick I read that all NASCAR vehicles all had the HP tweeked to the higher HP value only on short tracks and the lower number HP was the setup on the longer tracks. Maybe NASCAR is just detuning the vehicles on the short track only for some reason.

On the short tracks, Speeds over 150MPH aren't realistic, So I figured they decided to let the Boys have their fun with all that HP on the short tracks (Since they could never use it).

Actually that's not true. On the short track there is a lot more applying the brakes hard and hard acceleration that's needed to get back up to speed thus the added need for HP.

 

[302BOB]

I stand corrected...........

 

[TymeSlayer]

I heard something about restrictor plates with tapered holes that will reduce HP but give better throttle response. (As opposed to the straight thru holes) They say the average Joe won't be able to tell the difference but a Race Car driver can.

 

[302BOB]

If they're reducing HP from 750 to 550 on the bigger tracks I think they'll feel the difference!..even with no restrictor plates........Glad this doesn't affect me once I get back on the road.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Curious if they considered dropping displacement to 5 liters?

I didn't get permission to share/post the pic, but one of my friends took delivery of his Model 3 from Elon Musk in person! Lucky guy.

Could that mean a Boss 302 Mustang next year?? I know, Only in my dreams..................

 

[TMSBOSS]

I doubt the idea would be accepted by the chevy crowd.

I know, NASCAR will never get out of their basic "formula" for racing....everybody has the same HP, after that you're own your own....Just DON"T BREAK THE RULES or ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............No rules when I drive........unless I get caught..

 

[VoodooBoss]

Hmmm, could something like this be coming to a Mustang near you? Imagine the performance enhancement this will provide.

[302BOB]

Porsche's have always intrigued me but the price has always kept me at bay...I'm sure their price tag is well worth the experience!

 

[TymeSlayer]

Sorry but they look like Matchbox cars in that picture. A $75K kit? They can't be serious, can they?
