USA likely to reject 2030 deadline from what people are saying about their Grid setup.

 

US EV Tech Government Meeting

I don't think there will be many countries who's grids would be able to cope with the surge of electricity required for 50% adoption of EV's. The climate impact of building EV's is a problem, but also the infrastructure required to generate that much electricity will also have a negative on climate change. 

The worlds biggest polluter is China at 30% of all global emissions, just pushing EV's is not enough, more should done to kerb emissions from power stations and factories etc, 

1. China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released.
2. United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2
3. India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2
4. Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2
5. Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2
6. Germany, 759 million tons of CO2
7. Iran, 720 million tons of CO2
8. South Korea, 659 million tons of CO2
9. Saudi Arabia, 621 million tons of CO2
10. Indonesia, 615 million tons of CO2

Took some shots of the new Corvette at a Chevrolet dealer in Middletown, Connecticut whilst on hols. USD 156k. Lovely bit of kit.

I agree, they are nice, seen a few ZO6's and they sound good too.

My bank account is flashing through my eyes and I have not been on a track day yet 😂

 

My buddy also has a Mach 1, he went to a track day yesterday at Area 27 (https://area27.ca)

 

So.........

 

Track day cost $800

Insurance $400 ( you can only get insurance from a US provider using a US address. No Insurance from Canada in Canada)

Hotel for 2 nights $700 (as its 4 hour drive from where we live)

New set of Cup2 Tyres $3500 (cos you ruined the last set on your track day)

2x Tanks of fuel $240

 

... and here is the worse bit......

 

New tyres for your F350 truck and dual axel trailer cos some ***** slashed them all at the hotel in the middle of the night + mobile call out to replace .... $6k

 

I am sure you can do the math ...... 😱

 

I think I am going to save some more money 😂

 

 

 

update - it was a homeless woman, CCTV saw her just rock up takes big knife out of her bag and go round slashing his tyres …. WTF 😳

.....People still slash tires...They not scared of being shot over there.....

 

£1200 should do for a set of 4 premium tires. £3000 seems..... More expensive than flight lessons! Its cheaper to hire private security these days to watch your car while you go inside 👀

 

Laguna Seca and Willow Springs must be cheap then lol

its prob someone mentally unstable or on drugs, as for being shot, Canada is not as bad as the USA, normal folks don't really carry guns on the street, that only the gangs. 

not £'s.... $CAD, my PS4S were $2800 Fitted, cup 2's are more expensive 

He's been to Willow springs already and has a Leguna Seca trip booked for November 😎

Looks like you have a fabulous time 😎

That M4 looks a beast!

Why bother with designing a proper dash. Just chuck screens there. Seats are nice though 

Yeah the dash looks weird if you ask me. I can vouch for the seats, same as mine in the Mach 1, although mine are full leather. 

Overall I think it looks a bit fugly, not worth the upgrade for an extra 20hp 😂

...... have you considered chopping the tree down 😂

Hi spotted a couple of these on sunday ive googled them to death and cant find them anywhere i know i should of asked someone on the day but didnt think they be so hard to find. Does anyone know where i can get one of these water expansion tank covers they look the bees

Pretty sure that is a Mishimoto one 😎

.... I remember the group buy

Isn’t it a shame that manufacturers don’t produce cars with wheels that fit properly, I think top end Audi’s and Bimmers are the only ones that come somewhat close

Dropped mine off next to yours today 

 

Technically its behind 😂

In 2003, Nissan released a promotional DVD for the 350Z entitled The Run. It featured multiple camera views of a copper coloured 350Z driving through the streets of Prague, ending with a rendezvous with a beautiful woman, an obvious homage to Lelouch

Can compare both cars. Which Z did you have in the past? 

I had an 07 Rev-Up 350z

Youd be doing a huge favour if you could pop in the dealership and get us a video maybe even bag a test drive 😎.

 

Sure tire kicking but still 😆. Would be good to hear your thoughts. 

I will keep an eye out at the local dealer, I don't think they will hang about too long in showrooms.

A test drive won't be a problem, more so if I turn up in the 'Stang 😂

I saw my first New Zed today, it was yellow, going round a round about. 

looks a bit better in the flesh 👍

Some really nice cars there…… sadly I don’t think I will ever be able to afford one. 
 

……. if I could though  I would struggle just to pick one 😂

I believe Dan will say, you went from a very good however worn tyre to a new and better tyre so would struggle to provide a comparison re the difference in size you've mention.

Worn .... LOL .... I only did 3k miles on them 😂

Interesting test, would have been good to see a few different types of tyre with contrasting sidewall constructs.

I recently went from 275/25R19 | 305/35/R19 Pilot Super Sports to 285/35/R19 | 325/30/R19 Pilot Sport 4S on my car and find it the 4S a much better tyre, but they are less stretched. That difference is from the sidewall strength IMO (awaits Dan to tell me I am talking rubbish ...... 😂)

Welcome! Nice looking Zed 😎

I used to be local …..  not so much now 😂
