I hope that means that this, being the fourth American car I have owned, will finally be somewhat reliable.

I expected a trip report by now.

How is the new one holding up?

Das has suffered the fate of all Viper owners; to go backwards off the road into a tree at 170 mph. :ohdear:

This car is made of the stuff that gets you to the moon, and this engine is a Saturn V. Imagine these engine thrusts but compressed into the spacing of automotive gears, and separated by 1.5-2.0 seconds at the most: https://youtu.be/J99HJ-HofqM?t=64

You haven't really felt acceleration until you've been on something that can cause a partial grey-out from acceleration.* :getin:

This car is very cool and they should sell them in England.

e: it might be time to make a "car electrical engineer nerd blather thread" instead of derailing this one and the terrible car poo poo thread, I guess. I have been meaning to do a big effortpost about how to do a quality job wiring a vehicle, too, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Please do, I'd love to read that.

As it is, I use this for my wiring reference how-to-do-it-right-guide these days:
