Jeff's GTR is 1280bhp on E95 fuel and says the Plaid is noticably faster. All he did to the Plaid was wheels and tires. The GTR has $75k worth of transmission and $85k worth of engine work that I'm aware of.
had a hard time deciding between informative and fancy. went with fancy.
Where can you get it in town? He runs all his cars on it. When I asked where he found it, he sent me a picture of the tank in his shop. Apparently if you are tuned for it, it's almost as good as race gas.
I don't know! that's why I asked. Never looked into it.
I thought the big problem with ethanol is that it dissolves grease and oil, so it really cleans, and then strips all lubrification from engines. It must take quite a bit of work to prep all his cars for it... Impressive though, good on him!
He makes it sound like it's mostly about the tuning to get the most from it. Of course all his cars autotune based on ethenol content, but he pretty much just fills up at home.
i wonder how well earth will tolerate maybe 15 billion people in the future...
I rented a prius V, only way that's happening is a kids 20" bike IME. I couldn't stand the ergonomics, having the driving information in the center of the car and some of it actually on the right side, like the CC armed notification. Kind of an ergonomic disaster IMO, trying to make it different for the sake of difference and notoriety, vs. something like Tesla that is doing it for ergonimcs.Yeah a Prius V would be perfect. A friend had one and he could fit his bike in the back without taking a wheel off. And it was reliable for him.
When did they stop making it? If I recall the last time I looked, there was zero available within 500km.
Maybe I should just got an electric golf cart...
But yeah, definitely living in the wrong universe wanting something compact and practical.
Yeah, I think everyone is waiting to see what he does. His usual move is to slap one or more big ass turbos on it, but that doesn't work here.
the thought of a plaid tesla hitting a bridge abutment at warp stupid warms my heart....
Pretty sure it was a V, but now I have some doubts. I thought it was quite large in the back when it could take my Evoc bag, my giant checked bag and my carry-on stuff. I find that "real" wheels-on vehicles are pretty rare. My Honda Pilot could do it. The GMC Envoy I used for work over the weekend could not. Most mid to full size wagons cannot IME, unless they are some super monstrous thing from 1970s.
The mileage I got in DFW was pretty damn impressive out of an ICE. I never expected to see an average around 50.
Out riding with wifey yesterday and a transit connect went past us, I commented I'd love an electric one of them.
Yeah, that one seems ripe for fleet-wide electrification...
Im assuming one is in the works, probably going to share all the underpinnings of the eventual Maverick EV. Fleet vehicles don’t have the same profit margins as CUVs and trucks so it won’t happen until the Mach E and Lightning sales cool down.
I've had a good look at those (I was looking at one for the business).
VW ID Buzz Transporter should be that.

I am pretty sure this numbers are the final prices including delivery fees and such. They have to stay below 65K, otherwise you won't get any of the incentives, tax breaks, etc.
Yeah, final for Europe. But extrapolating from that to US prices is the iffy part.
Take a look at the bumper again and you'll see a Porsche. Once seen, it cannot be unseen.
IDK, I see a Lada.Take a look at the bumper again and you'll see a Porsche. Once seen, it cannot be unseen.
You should see the house!Right car looks more like a Lamborghini Aventador (S Roadster perhaps of 2018ish vintage?)
Left car might be a Ferrari, but I don't think its a 458 or F8 Spider? 488 Spider?
Probably an easy $900k to $1 million in Canadian pesos sitting there.
Looks more like a castle
I think that’s what they were going for!Looks more like a castle
