If you understand he is joking, then why you not finding it funny?
Except your solution would mean our kinds of cars would disappear or cost 2 to 3 times as much. The number of buyers is a huge factor in the price of any car. Ford wouldn't even make 300 HP and up Mustangs if knuckleheads couldn't buy them.
I'd rather the knuckle head learn how to handle and control the power and then get to enjoy it, instead of totaling it asap.
Who wouldn't? And frogs wish they could fly so they wouldn't bump their ass hopping.
Oh I understand as well why manuals are going away. I see it as part of the declining society we have and the increasingly tyrannical government.
Good question. Probably his poor delivery. Hoosier Daddy basically made the same joke and I thought it was a little funny. Maybe it's because he was repeating the same joke. Definitely not as funny the second time.
Lap times in my personal vehicles I haven't been on a track with yet, but the race cars, sure I try to always be better than the last.Oh I understand as well why manuals are going away. I see it as part of the declining society we have and the increasingly tyrannical government.
You seem obsessed with lap times - I've told you I don't care. What is your best time around your local track with your current vehicle? Have you improved it a lot in the last couple years? Tell me about your laps and how much they matter to you.

Do you really think I'm behind the political correctness movement?
I'm surprised you care so much about lap times in the Z06 when you haven't taken your current cars to a track. I get that a lap time is a measuring stick of general performance, but to me enjoyment is more important. Maybe driving race cars has jaded you to having fun on track in a car. You've become all business behind the wheel.
Hoosier said 'remove air bags' I came up with a less complicated solution that could be adequately passed off in a court of law. "glitch" was the name of the game in Kenosha for willful evidence tampering, why not a "glitch" that can be reduced to "if driver acting like ass-hat, set airbag delay+=400".
True story. When I was a company car driver at GM, you couldnāt be assigned anything 500 hp and up unless you took and passed a performance driving course. Only exception is if you were ordering your āDrive and Buyā. Drive and Buy was a program where you could spec a car, drive it as a company car, and then buy it at a discount when it came out of service.
I dunno. I've driven C8 Stingray Z51 and even when you're going all out, it's much easier to control than a Mustang GT. More controlled, more stable, not as eager to seek out a crowd or tree.
I'm of the opinion the GT350 is an exception as despite over 300 HP it seems actually difficult to get into trouble with the way the engine and gearing perform lower in the rpm range yet the power is there higher up when you need it e.g. passing a line of "slower" cars on a two lane highway, and the manual transmission where you have to mindfully downshift to get that power actually seems to make it safer.
This is why we can't have nice things
That statement is well said.
