Pop and burble tunes that are completely unnatural. Real pops and bangs are awesome, as are genuine flames, because the engine and exhaust are actually doing things to make those happen naturally. Fake or “tuned” flames and pops to me are just kind of cheesy/obnoxious to me.

I honestly disagree. Farrah to me has always been a “no bullshit, straight to the point” car guy who is also rich, and has no issues casually speaking on his wealth when the time is appropriate. I don’t know about his political views, but in terms of purely speaking on cars and what makes them tick, he and Zach are two of the best people to listen to imo.

Thanks for the brief history, I hadn’t known a lot of this!

Incredible car, but I’m also not too surprised that a car with 1600hp and gobs of downforce would destroy the time of a car gobs of downforce, but 513hp lol.

Also, this line in the article confused me: “We wonder if any part of the recent track performance demonstrations Koenigsegg has done (this one, as well as the Regera at Ring Knutstorp in 2021) is an effort to shed the myth of Koenigseggs only being competent in a straight line that has been pervasive for years.”

Hadn’t the One:1 already done that years ago? Up until the Senna, it held the production car lap record at Spa for quite a while.

Modern Camaros are kind of synonymous with having face lifts that, to me, make the car look worse overall.

5th gen Camaro 2010-13 pre-facelift: Beautiful car. The perfect blend of aggression and elegance. Spot on modernized representation of the 1st generation Camaro, particularly the 69. In person, these things are stunning to study and take in the details and lines.

2014-2015 Face-lifted Camaro (sans ZL1): Eh, they look alright, the new face didn’t work as well for me, and only the SS and Z/28 really made it work. The taillights were also a step back.

2016-2018 6th gen Camaro: Beautiful.

2019 face-lifted Camaro (SS): Mistake that only looked decent in black.

2020-2024 reface-lifted Camaro (SS): Better, especially in 1LE guise.

As far as a car that looked better after a facelift: The first Audi R8 refresh is the best looking version of that car to me. The first generation, although I love it, looks a bit too “soft”; the first refresh gave it that aggressive edge that it was missing.

I don’t mind/care, honestly. It’s certainly interesting, but the fact that I’ll likely never be able to own one of these, and that it sounds as insane as it does, and likely is an animal to experience… Makes me feel rather lenient on this potential factoid.
