  1. Yes, but both are products of their time. Both are dated now.
  2. The Z32 300ZX is one of the best looking cars ever made. It looks no more dated than the Supra.
  3. Perez came through with a 14th consecutive points finish. I would say why did the idiots at Mclaren get rid of him after only one season, but looking at where Mclaren are now I bet Perez doesn't care one bit.
  4. ----------------------------
  5. I don't think the turbo model can even get to 170mph.
  6. Ah ok. Is there much point in trying to find one or are there none around anymore?
  7. Ok thanks! Could a passenger seat be used in the driver's position? I'm guessing they are identical?
  8. You can say that about anything. I work hard every day for 2p more than the minimum wage. There are thousands of other people who in relative terms do fuck all and earn hundreds of thousands a year. What am I missing? Life isn't fair.
  9. I find it rather disturbing that new sites only run auto racing articles (that aren't F1) when something like this happens.
  10. Are these still available from Toyota or have they been discontinued?
  11. Last season in Indycar Honda only won 2 out of the 16 rounds, however this season has seen a marked increase in performance from the Honda powered cars, and they have won the first two races so far in this Indycar season.
  12. Good to see an F1 driver being able to compete in other disciplines. Some current F1 drivers (no names mentioned) don't even want to compete in other series through fear of being shown up.
  13. Does anyone else think Bottas could be out by the end of the season? He was completely invisible today. On the other hand Mercedes would want to keep him as he seems very submissive and they know he won't challenge Hamilton.
  14. Giovinazzi is the Ferrari reserve driver. Remind me, what engine is in the back of the Sauber?

    Which supra ?

    Maybe I should re-phrase then. With stock power the auto is bad, if i had 500/600hp then it would be different.

    Which supra ?

    The auto box just makes the car feel sluggish, you put your foot down and nothing happens. It might be more to do with the sequential turbochargers and the auto box combined, the NA auto might be better as the power curve is smoother. Also if he is thinking about running 500hp the auto box would be beyond its limit would it not? I thought the auto was only good for BPU power, beyond that there is just too much heat being generated and it boils the gearbox fluid.

    I would increase your budget and buy a manual. The auto Supra is a horrible car to drive, even if it is significantly better than other automatic gearboxes.
  18. Here's an interesting study: the 2 drivers on the grid who got their places through money, and money alone are 19th and 20th. Good to see that cash is translating into on track performance.
  19. Might be an odd question, but is the purpose of agreed valuation to massively exaggerate what the car is worth so you get more money if something happens? I mean, in the event they would have to pay out they would give what it would cost to replace the car anyway wouldn't they?
  20. I think the funniest part of the ad is that they want £25000 for that abomination.
  21. So how is "gay" a typo of "grey"?
  22. This sport is a complete mess at the moment. I only hope Brawn can drill some sense into these new people.
  23. Not surprising at all. My dad loves the show and I have seen quite a few episodes too. It was very intersting hearing his comments in that video regarding the format changes to the show. When I watch these other car shows in the US they are all just shitty docu-soaps. The shows are not about cars, they are about the idiots that work in these places or the stereotypically racist "characters" they throw in. It's the same when they changed Top Gear in 2001/2002. The new show is about stupid shit that you would see on any entertainment show; this just has a car theme. The old show was about car reviews, and nothing else, and that's not what makes the most money.
