I'm no expert, but the Porsche 919 only got 4 cylinders. It can't be nearly has fast as the Ferrari or the Bugatti right?

Lovely family. And that was good that she got an article in the mag...three pages.
She's a very nice lady, and the cars she shows us are simply...fantasmagoric.

I posted some of her YouTube car videos in the past. She has a sizeable collection, and none are bad. Cars are an excellent match with hi-end audio. Keep them spinning ...

Could this be the new king of speed for 2019 !


Beautiful car Bob and again, a beautiful lady.

one thing that cracks me up is the number of 'old farts' that make fun of 'square' steering wheel on the new C8 Corvette and low and behold look what's in this hypercar !

I prefer a round steering wheel personally, I'm old fashion when it comes to drive.
That doesn't mean that I hate people who drive with a square steering wheel, to the contrary, I love them equally. I love everyone with different preferences, the human species. :)
And also personally I prefer more women, the feminine side of the human section. There's nothing square about women, it's all rounded with curves. So for me cars have a certain related touch ... that's all.

And ... observe the steering wheel, it is truly a question of preference, and not "exigence".

By the way Dave, this is Audio_Karma's post you quoted.
Him too has great taste in cars ...

Plus, I'm not that old myself...people say I look 46. Old is 100 and up ...

In 1976 I bought my first car. ... A 55 Dodge Sedan with a six flat inline, manuel transmission & cluth. It had a huge round steering wheel, nothing square yet from 55 to 76, not that I'm aware of.
So that doesn't make me an old fart and neither you because we're much younger than 100, plus we look the parts. :cool:

The biggest problem with the Vette isn’t the squared off steering wheel but the Camaro rear end

Which was taken from previous Vettes.

IMO the new C8 is a home run all around. Including the wheel. All anyone can do is pick nits...

agreed 100%

here's my take on the rear end.......demographically the avg age of a new Corvette buyer has risen from the mid fifties just a decade ago to now mid sixties. Not a good thing, so with the probable demise of the Camaro a couple of years away GM is 'planting the seed'
