Out running an errand.

Had a 97 GTP for a while and loved it! Was my first new car. I remember thinking the 225 section tires were wide - well look at things now... :)

2022 5BW here with 10K miles. It is a fabulous daily driver. I said this in another thread - If I'm having a long day and need a smile, I just put my right foot down and listen!

This! It is the best daily driver ever. Anytime I need a smile, I just put my right foot down and listen.

I use regular non-adaptive cruise for 99% of highway driving where cruise is warranted. The one place where I do use ACC is in heavy stop and go traffic. It lowers the stress level and watching it do its thing is actually kinda fun. I still don't fully trust it yet after 10K miles but that's...

This was fun to watch! Nice job sir!

The last car I had with no dead pedal was an 04 GTO. The lack of a dead pedal bugged me the whole time I owned it. A small flaw in an otherwise great car.

PTM Sport. I had a ton of fun at SM AutoX using this mode to steer with the right foot and power slide my way thru the course.

Well, assuming you have an A10, what you get is a tiny knob behind the shifter for volume, and a giant knob (dial) for selecting things. I've had to retrain my hand to go to that location for volume but now it is a habit and I don't think twice about it. I don't use the dial at all because I...

Great article! Maybe I'm biased because I've been an IEEE member since college. :) I've read the first half of it. Basically one sentence on the first page sums it up for me: Indeed, the challenges posed by the transition from ICE vehicles to EVs at scale are significantly larger in scope...

All good points above. But the remaining differentiator is not just styling - I want to drive from San Diego to Arizona, or to the Bay Area, or wherever, and not have to worry about how and where I'm going to charge up, not to mention how long that will take. I guess the media likes to call...

If you're using PTM Sport in the dry on the street, more power to you. I found at SM that PTM Sport lets the car hang way loose for way too long for me to be comfortable pushing the car hard enough to be needing PTM Sport on the roads around here. But it was super fun on the track and I think...

This is where I think we need to be headed. The push toward all BEVs is unrealistic because the charging infrastructure isn't there and will require an upgrade of the electricity grid to get there. I think we are decades away in terms of matching the availability and convenience of gas...

Getting groceries...

+1. The fastest way around the AutoX at SM in a 5 is by using your right foot to steer.

This. They won't change the front end due to all the tweaking that was done to it already. Interior maybe.

I had a complete blast at Spring Mountain and would do it again in a heartbeat. As a novice driver on the track, I'm a bit conflicted about this car. The performance envelope is astoundingly huge. The driving aids (PTM, etc) definitely help avoid any major issues. I think for me they were...

Feb 11, 2023 - first time ever on a track or doing autocross Car: CT5-V BW Auto AutoX: 28.03 Road course: North 1.5 Best lap: 1:20.6

Mirza is kinda my hero for bringing this car to life so I'm proud to wear the same shirt he does.

Anyone else notice the shirt that he's wearing?
