And now my 2016 Ford feels positively luxurious! A whole lot of creature comforts have been invented in the last 50 odd years...

Corvette Engineers Let Porsche Use Their Nürburgring Session to Set a GT3 RS Lap Time
https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a20124395/porsche-911-gt3-rs-nurburgring-corvette-time/

Quote:
Performance-car engineers are naturally very competitive, but that doesn't mean those from rival automakers can't be friendly. Case in point—while testing the new ZR1, the Corvette team gave Porsche an hour of Nürburgring time to test its new 911 GT3 RS, when it set a stunning 6:56.4 lap time.

This story comes to us from Porsche GT project manager Oliver Berg, who relayed it to Motormouth. We confirmed the story's authenticity with a Porsche spokesperson, who told us there's a "good friendly rivalry" between the Porsche GT and Corvette teams. The Corvette folks agreed to give Porsche 'Ring time, so long as it could watch the German automaker work.

Remember the rumors about a future baby Mercedes SLS AMG? Apparently the new model will be called the SLM (with M standing for mid-engine) and will go on sale in 2015 at a price of $165,000.

The C8 will undoubtedly be the next coolest car from Chevrolet (especially when the ZR1 variant shows up). I only hope for a couple of trivial things. I hope the engines are mounted longitudinally and are L) and R) centered. I think beautifully engineered vehicles have a core symmetry to them and a lack of it makes cars like the NSX, R8/Gallardos (off center), Miuras... a little less so. I understand this is irrational and as always, YMMV...but I still will sleep better if it is so

kinda random:
