It is not going anywhere to begin with.

If it happens, I reserve the right to track you down and write "I Told You So" on your forehead.

Gee sounds like the 70s all over again.  That worked out so well.

I drive Lincoln's, as I prefer comfort these days.   I drive my buddy's 914 at the track for fun.   Blame the consumers who buy the anemic muscle cars or Dan, but not me.   Just saying that sales dictate changes like this.   Why would you tell that, if I both agree with and disagree with the article at the same time?

Exactly

I'll get the power I want regardless of platform.

edit: nowadays its very rare that anyone buys a manual gear box at all...

A manual gearbox is just about the only way to go with anything oilfield related.

Wine and complain all you want,, just make sure your not in my way while your doing it!

Seems they forgot to fill the methanol tank after all the dyno runs and the heads lifted off the C5R block.

I got there and found the head nuts loose right after they ran it 250mph.

Who cares about Sweden? We're talking about the dilution of the unique character of American-style automotive power.

I agree

I'd love to hear the howls of rage and anguish from the big block crowd as the next Gen electric cars smoke them off the start.

Just can't beat electrics for low end torque.

I will be seriously impressed when I see a 9,000 HP electric motor scooting down the 1/4 mile  in under 5 seconds!
 I'm thinking the motor isn't the problem tho, it's still fuel that limits it! One tank of nitro still beats the alternative!

Next gen?  I don't think so.

Come talk to me when a 700HP electric car can go 400 miles @ 75MPH, without stopping.  Until then, I'll stick with my 700HP gasoline powered car.

I watched as a helpless driver of a Tesla pull his car over to the side of the road, as it was dieing because he got stuck in start/stop traffic.  Told me everything I needed to know about electric cars being ready for the real world.

Don't get me wrong.  One day they will practical, but it will not be the next gen cars.  It is going to take a major change in the electric storage paradigm before they become practical.
