Wtf?

The actual story is the porsche blew it's engine; and cost more to repair than to replace. The owner donated to this gun advocate group who made this video.

But you gotta love all the red-neck hate in the comments don't you? :lol:

And it's more likely a Corvette celebration for whipping the CGT around the 'Ring... :rofl:

I did some shooting at school as a cadet with an SA80 and a 2.2 but that's it. Never really saw the appeal. Also if you're going to hunt things it's a bit too easy with a gun.

It's too easy to cut steak with a knife too. In fact, its too easy to get to work with a car. It's also too easy to sleep on a bed. It's too easy to go fast with 650-800 hp on tap :)

People go to work out of necessity most of the time, shooting animals is, in developed countries at least, a hobby.

That was deserving just because of the colour :-P. Keep in mind that JC has been equally nasty to 911s in the past as well ;-).

That's quite a popular haircut in the USA mate, and I'll remind you that his opinion is shared with most of the World's motoring journalists. He loves to hate 911s but they're still much better than Corvettes and that sir, is a fact.

I think that JC focusses his approach on the masses and not the car entusiasts like 5th Gear (to a lesser extent recently though), and evo magazine do. Tiff and Jason, Harris & Metcalfe are way better imo :thumbup:.

WTF are smoking? Kevin Keagan hairdos are popular in the US? Talk about clutching for insults.

And you are still on this ignorant "911'sare better than Corvettes" rant- after almost a decade its getting old "mate".

Model for model Corvette and 911 have been matched wheel to wheel since day 1.

Witness stock and race comparisons year on year for equivalent models.

Fuck this ignorant "US cars suck" routine is so played out - one would think you would have given it a rest by now.

Actually, Corvettes were faster to begin with. There was a period in the mid 70's to mid 80's where Porsches were faster. Then the B2K option was available, and for Porsche Turbo money, you had a factory optioned turbo Corvette that would trounce any 911 :)

Actually, model equivalent the 911 was no faster than the equivalent Corvette. The stock base 911 coupe was just as slow and crappy in the mid 70's as the Vette was.

All US spec sports cars where.

Sure, they are no good.

Total crap.

I guess the fact that they outlap every year equivalent 911 around the Ring means they are crap.

Sure.

Jesus, how many times, nurburgring lap times do not tell you how good a car is to drive just as the amount of g-force a car can create in a corner doesn't tell you about handling.

Actually, according to the 2011 24 Hours of LeMans, that is most certainly not a fact. ;-)

I'm told from first hand accounts (yesterday by 6 swiss people) that there were close to 1000 corvettes/camaros/novas etc. during this celebration. Just in Switzerland, a tiny country.

One highlight will be a procession of 1,000 Chevrolets in June, and in November a statue of its famous maker will be unveiled.

“Tourist offices tell us that many people come to La Chaux-de-Fonds to have their photographs taken next to his house or his effigy. Unfortunately the house no longer exists and tourists are disappointed. But soon there will be the statue,” Laurent Kurth, mayor of La Chaux-de-Fonds, told swissinfo.ch.

La Chaux-de-Fonds is proud of its star. “[He was] reckless, resourceful and was a hard worker, like the people from around here,” said André Rochat, president of the organising committee of the centenary celebrations.

Never mind that Chevrolet only lived in the town for a few weeks, before his family moved to Bonfol, a small village in the Jura region of Switzerland, where he spent his childhood.

Then he left for the town of Beaune in Burgundy in France, where his father opened a watchmaker’s shop. But for La Chaux-de-Fonds, Chevrolet remains a local hero.

I'm a little girl, so be it, but little girl who knows the difference between handling and outright grip. You don't, you're obviously a huge strong man but also a bit of a twat.

In fact I'm big and strong :) I have all my teeth too :) and I don't hate Porsche or other Europeans cars I love them , there is no difference between handling and outright grip when a car outperforms the other braking, accelerating and cornering but it cost a lot less

It's not part of the European Union; however, last time I checked, it is a European country on the European subcontinental plate. I may have outdated material. The last time I had checked, continental plates don't quickly change their minds.

You can keep your superb handling mkI - mkV and beyond Golf gti. lol

Golf GTi? Huh?

Golf GTi? Huh?Or, you could insert any other cheap euro bucket of bolts that was praised for being the 'best handling car' blah blah.


I'll stick with my high limit metrics in adhesion tests; and dial it in from there to my own tastes :)
