Loved it...especially this right here,

" Children (figuratively and literally) that were raised inside an internet tube might say it’s not a lot of power. They are wrong. 10 million ball bearings might be more than 8 million, but if you spill 8 million of them on the ground that is a shitload."

Nice.
I'll never forget my very first cruise on parts of Mulholland Drive many years ago.
After having seen the road displayed in many movies/TV shows ('King of the Mountain' being among my favorites) and reading about it in magazines over the years I just had to drive it/experience it first hand. I had a rented Miata and drove over vast sections of it eventually snaking my way over to the Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu and the ocean somehow, a slow car but the trip was still lots of fun.

If they apply that same formula (great handling, big power) to the new Alpha platform, they will set the bar ridiculously high. That's what I'm waiting to see.

I agree. Just imagine a 3400-3500 (Alpha platform based) Camaro with the current ZL1 powertrain in it.
