Corvette C8 ZR1

And overall, a Porsche's reliability alone made it a winner in many many races. Frankly, in a race, reliability is so important because many cars simply don't finish due to reliability problems - especially during the 1950s to 1990s where a lot of Porsche

But a Macpherson strut is inferior to a double wishbone. That's a fact. If we can't agree on that, then we unfortunately don't have a common ground. I would say, I do like Porsches myself. And I would say, Porsches are so good in so many other ways that t

As you say, Porsche has had many victories. Reliability, power, aero, Porsche built many winning cars with strut fronts because of the competitiveness of the overall package. No car is perfect, they all have their pros and cons. Porsche made the rear engi

Double wishbone suspensions provide more grip in both on camber corners and off camber corners. MacPherson Strut suspension provide only grip in on-camber corners. More grip is better in every situation. If you look at all four door Porsches; Macan, Cayen

Corvette C8 ZR1

It’s good to see the new Corvette ZR1 finally revealed in all its glory. The move from the traditional front engined Corvette design didn’t go down well with many Corvette enthusiasts but this car looks good and is clearly aimed at track day enthusiasts.

An incredible GTG, Part II.

Here is the Part II... The moment started with a friend who came to pick me with a car I never tried, the Mercedes C Class, Coupé. Arrived at our first check point, another friend offered me to drive his Datsun 240Z, for a 60 kilometers trip... As you can

The incredible charm of the vintage Blancpain Milspec Pakistani Army.

Quite like their bezel approach. From my perspective it is optimised for surface/field, reducing the risk of the watch hooking obstacles (or parachute lines for that matter). From my limited knowledge there are rather few neo vintage and hardly any (?) pr
