Great write up and nice pix. A table and some graphics with specs and stats including LAP TIMES would make this “track test” better. Having said that the GT4 is predictably a great track car while the GT500 is astonishingly powerful and competent. Hagerty: More comparisons please. ... View more

Porsche 987.1 Boxsters and Caymans are a hoot to drive and (relative) bargains) today.   Also just to to prove that i have eclectic taste in cars: GM 3.8 Supercharged V-6 cars are neat but un-loved -- many models of Buick, Pontiac, Olds and Chevy to chose from.   ... View more

Well that was quite a rant. I wont touch on the history of GM -- but I will admit I mourned the passing of Pontiac and the GTO that I wish I never sold. Regardless, even if i was remotely interested in the Blackwing, I have better uses of my money then the asking price (let alone the options that you might be tempted to check). We should all agree that the definition of a fun and engaging car is inherently personal. And some of us can see the attributes of a BEV while still being a car guy.

I'm no fan of Elon but you need to drive a Tesla to appreciate the clean sheet of paper approach. Yes, it is something like a computer on wheels -- but truthfully it is very cool. ... View more

Great story! So glad Dennis was able to re-connect -- on a few levels. Brings back memories of my '64 Fury with a 426 Wedge. 4 Speed (pretty heavy clutch and a tree trunk shifter) and manual steering. The torque was amazing!
