Yea. Those LED lightbars are awesome for visibility and just looking "better" in general, but man are they BRIGHT, especially when a bunch of different bars in the windows, grills, etc are all strobing at different frequencies! I'm glad I don't suffer from epilepsy...
Drifting is not the most efficient way to get through a corner whatsoever. Drifiting is its own sport.

Unless of course you're living in Tokyo Drift.
We're talking about the GT-R here, not the Skyline GT-R. They may share the same "heritage," but it's a different car. The GT-R is excellent as a case study of what technology can accomplish in modern times. However, a driver's car it is not. It lacks passion and is not a car that, as someone earlier said, "stirs the soul."

Will it eat up the tarmac at track day? No doubt. Will it win awards, records, and so on? Absolutely. Can I appreciate it? Undoubtedly. However, for a car that I would own and drive on the streets, I'd rather have the GT500. I wouldn't mind driving a GT-R at a track event for a day or so, but I wouldn't want one in my garage in the sense that it is taking up room that could be used for another car, like a Z06.

And I also cannot own any street car that doesn't come with a third pedal. Indeed, performance numbers may be superior, but again, I am looking for a driver's car, not necessarily a stripped out, hardcore racing vehicle. It's nice to have, but for my most driven vehicles I'd rather have a manual.
Precisely - they're two different vehicles for different purposes. The GT500 is foremost and primarily just raw, more "old school" ish kind of muscle. The GT-R is the pinnacle of technology.
Screw both of 'em, neither would've been any good. They're just more of the same BS that's been destroying this country for almost a century now.

You want REAL change - End the Fed! (for starters).
I knew the comments who turn into a flame war the second i saw that picture on the e-reader. I don't know why Engadget chose that picture - they couldn't have so stupid as to not know what it would do.

But then again, I'm fairly certain they were well aware of the possible consequences. Articles that get commented on a lot get a lot of views, and thus, a lot of ad views, including possibly from users outside the normal Engadget crowd.

It's basically just a way of baiting. Autoblog does the same with Hennessey performance stuff.

Of course, I'm sure we'll get some Engadget editor here saying that's not it at all... and of course we won't be able to rank his comment.
Almost 50% did not vote for Obama. So obviously, not everyone likes the guy. It also seems a lot of people who voted for him have also changed their minds now. Most people didn't like Bush either (rightly so) but I guess it was less politically incorrect to criticize Bush than it is to criticize Obama.
So we shouldn't care how much tax we pay, or what it is used for, since we've "always" been paying taxes, correct?

Also, the income tax wasn't always around. You may want to do your research before commenting.
The article states they use exploding bolts, so whatever mechanism exploding bolts work by.
Ahh, Nozferat. Very typical. When someone opposes you, you wish there was some way to censor and socially isolate them. I suppose freedom of expression is great, so long as no one uses it to oppose you, right?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
