Cars - For Car Enthusiasts

I've struggled with the rear end of the C8, it's just too busy on every trim. This rear end looks fantastic. I'm not sure about the rest yet but the rear end is an improvement to me.

Howdy, I finally took the time to make a one lap video with no identifiers of myself or other drivers.

My lap time was 2:31, in the simulator I can get a 2:07 in the same car so I left a lot out on the track. In the sim there is no break fade and on track I could get 2 or 3 really hard breaking zones before I'd start to experience fade.

My fastest lap on the day was a 2:19 mostly due to the break fade. I have good video of it but the audio is just wind, and the only laps I did with the GoPro on the rear of my car for good sound were pretty casual laps. So I took a casual lap and paired it with the audio.

I'm going back in September for my last outing of the year most likely, then likely working on better breaks and cooling system as I could only get about 5 laps full out before I had heat soak issues and needed to pull into the cold pit to let the car cool off.

Fantastic track, quite technical. I put about 150 laps in the simulator before I went out and I'm glad I did. While there is pretty much nothing to hit, a few off camber turns and a few late apex turns would have thrown me into the weeds otherwise.

That cold open though!

Until this video I'd never heard of a scotch yoke engine. I know this is car enthusiast not engine enthusiast or engineering enthusiast so I'm not sure if anyone else will like this. But I sure do!

This is plated and street legal, can you imagine seeing it in traffic?

First time I've seen an atom in person. They are supposed to be an absolute riot on the track!

They're both gorgeous! I would have loved to hear them rev the engines just once.

As a former owner of a 370Z I want this car to be better. It looks the part, but it's performance at that price just doesn't make sense to me. For this price I can get a used C7 Z06 (with not so desirable milage) which will be a lot more fun and based on my ownership of the 370Z, more reliable too.

I'm not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.

My wife's EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I've driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we'll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.

What do y'all think?

222 HP per liter in this beast. For comparison the C8 ZR1 is about 194 HP per liter.

I might actually drive a left hand drive version of this as a daily. Maybe the A110S or GT instead?

I watched Family Feud with my grandma all the time as a kid. This brought back some memories.

Come for the Ferrari, stay for the Hoonigan interview. Another channel I love that hasn't been quite the same since Ken Blocked passed, RIP.

When I got my C7 I considered this instead, I still think the C6 is the most "Corvette" looking of the era which is a good thing particularly if you upgrade the exterior lights.

What a great series this has been, I can't wait to see the race episode!

More about film making than cars strictly but, I thought people here would still appreciate it. Has anyone seen this movie?

Hi guys, I recently took a trip to Italy to see my friend who purchased a 1997 Mercedes about a year ago, which is extremely comfortable and pretty reliable - he swears by it. We got into a chat about advantages, reliability and comfort of the older over newer cars and he got me kinda excited to get into classic motoring. I currently have a 2017 Honda Civic for which I pay a pretty penny every month (its a lease) and my contract runs out in two years. I started looking around for a classic alternative I could maybe get outright cash in hand or with a little help from a financing company. I see a lot of Jaguars XF and X-Type on the streets of UK, I looked them up on autotrader and they can go for anything from about 2k to 10k depending on the milage etc. - still about 5k less than price sticker of my Civic. So here is the question - is it worth looking into? What models/makes I could look into? What should I be aware of? Any tips? Tricks? I’m looking to expand my family in the coming years so a 3 doors sports car are out of the question :) Thanks
