All I try to do is raise the standard. There are some of us who wish to obtain accurate information. If it is not known, reasonable conjecture based on fundamental knowledge of auto design may be entertained. If you publish fake news, due to a lack of knowledge, you waste every body's time. That belongs on Facebook, not here.

The only thing you raise is your snobby nose as you look down on others. Your opinion of yourself is highly inflated and your blatantly narcissistic issues have been highly toxic to this thread and many others.

I can appreciate someone who has a thorough understanding and specializes in certain fields of engineering or physics and imparting their knowledge. However, your approach in interacting with others is often distasteful, arrogant and dismissive. You're just a haughty dick and people are sick of your ****.

Thats fine. But it’s pretty clear the most people around here are tired of you being a complete dick about it. Just quit being a dick about it. Simple concept.

Simple for some, impossible for others.

Fellas... you can use the ignore list if Shaka annoys you to that level. Otherwise, lets get back on topic.

Worked wonders for me. Now if we could just get the responders to dial back the name-calling and just be civil.

Is this due to program limitations or is it an issue of certain fixes affecting too many other things that would be too time-consuming to tackle?

I like hearing about the process and it's been fun watching the evolution.

No, it’s not the program limitations, although I don’t know the intricacies of the program yet. But, yes, reshaping the A pillar, the windshield, the hood flow to the crease below the side mirror would be too time-consuming and difficult because of how many other things it would affect.

“Chalk it up” is a very old expression that goes back to the custom of writing a customer’s outstanding charges on a chalkboard, especially in a bar. Today it means to give credit in a more general sense, as in the expression “chalk it up to experience” (credit it to experience, add it to your account of experiences).” A successful team may chalk up another win.

You chock your aircraft up by placing chocks at the wheels. Chocked up means that you have been briefed/ de briefed before or after a mission. It's something like wheels up in the charter business. You only get paid for flight time from wheels up to wheels down. A company named Wheels Up is a part owner of this forum. George Soros is also involved.


Ok...no. That's BS. 27 years on the flight line and I can tell you you're full of crap. Nobody used 'chocked up' in any manner of expression like the ones you're claiming here. When you chock an aircraft you say it's chocked or the wheels are chocked, period, not 'chocked up.'

A digital tip of the hat to Tool Hoarder. I think he might have a point, and so might the Corvette (See what I did there?). I digitally illustrated this one in and I think it looks pretty good. I can see the merits of pushing the air to the side radiators. The black-out one made me realize there should be a little flourish there. Diving into pure speculation here. And if that fairing is there, I have a render that shows it. What do you think?

That almost sounded like a design compliment, Iron V.

I think your’re on to something with that. Also, it occurs to me that that center section could be a separate facia piece that could be factory optioned to be paint either body color or black. If not than it could be painted/covered by the owner at their discretion like many of us did to cover the C7 chrome ‘braces’ bar.

Nice renders Chaz.

My guess is the standard car will have something in the center section like you've shown and the higher HP models will be open in the center along with a hood vent.

With that center section being a “not at all” for the Z06+ versions of the ME.
