Uh, he posted the exact same gif from a better angle like 5 posts up man. I think the whole thing is loving hilarious, I hope more ridiculous poo poo gets slapped onto the cars, it's not like the sport has much credibility left anyway. Remember when Toyota made cool stuff?

Jr. can make all excuses he wants about his driving to the media, but no words can make him forget the shame from the judging eyes of doge.

One of my favourite cars is the TVR Cerbera Speed 12:   It's a TVR turned up to 11 (almost a 1000 HP with zero aids etc) - check out this vid (good stuff starts at about a minute in) - it looks like it is brutalizing the driver, and that engine sound  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikeyrh9E91w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3fDBM1653I

I think the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 would beat the Viper in the "car most likely to want you dead". Runners up can be the Porsche 930 Turbo and that twin supercharged AC Cobra that Shelby wanted to sell to Bill Cosby

Yeah, agreed, the thing is with TVR is that until their last car they didn't even pretend to make anything other than bombs on wheels that will probably explode or kill you in a ditch going 200 mph upside down. I loved them for that.

There is a tremendous amount of electricity needed to elevate and lower the car. Any gains in performance you'd see in the horsepower loss to the wheels driving the alternator for that thing. Basically it can only be used as a ridiculous comfort luxury. The way Audi does it is much more sensible and uses technology to decrease the amount of power needed to operate the system. They experimented with a ferro-fluid filled shock that resisted more when a current was applied to it. While this isn't active in the way Bose's system is, Audi's system could be used in a performance setting. The last option, which is hydraulic, is more sensible than the previous two simply because it uses less energy than Bose's magnetic system and is active unlike Audi's. Simply, it shifts hydraulic fluid to each shock as the suspension needed to be stiffened or pulls it out to loosen. In cornering, this can replace the anti-roll bar. However the dangerous tradeoff is that if it fails mid corning, you lose control of the car. Just ask Alessandro Zanardi.

Then it was sold at a regular dealership, and the buyer drove it off a cliff into the goddamn Pacific Ocean. The "regular" 427 Cobra has a reputation for constantly trying its best to murder you, the dual-supercharged, dual-horsepower Super Snake is the car equivalent of Warhammer 40k's Chaos marines. 900hp, weighs just over a ton, and has lovely '60s suspension and tires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-JQksYxgM0 "I was idling. The car had not moved. I had not put my foot on the gas pedal. And it was killing people."  Remember, Shelby modified this thing that came with a 120hp I6 tractor motor, and it was probably terrifying to drive even in stock form:

It's hard to overstate how bad 1960s tires were compared to now. Imagine a Viper on Corolla tires or something.

Old VWs and other vehicles with swing-arm rear suspension kinda have an excuse for that. If you lower them, that just happens, unless you fabricate things. Doing it intentionally is loving stupid however. Sorry.

I saw the surviving car in person at Barrett-Jackson years ago, before I'd even heard that comedy bit about it. It's one of those cars that if you know what you're looking at, it's a bit scary without anyone even firing it up.

Citroën created the best suspension system in the 1950s, and they've been improving it ever since  (Ignore the marketing-speak, and watch how the wheels move over rough surfaces) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2q03XZugwg The level of comfort in a C6 or the latest C5 is ridiculously good. Like Rolls-Royce good, at a fraction of the price.
