It’s obvious that a lot of thought went into this luxurious sport utility vehicle, which will replace the MKC in Lincoln’s stable of upscale SUVs this fall. While it shares a basic skeleton with the more pedestrian 2020 Ford Escape that was revealed earlier this month, that’s where the similarities end. The two vehicles don’t share a single body panel or piece of interior trim. Instead, the Corsair is more stately, taking its styling cues from elder siblings, including the same elegant lines, details, and even the sloping roof as the Aviator. Lincoln further distanced the Corsair from the Escape by dialing up the car’s interior, covering it in luxe materials.

There’s plenty of go power, but what about stopping? Honda Performance Development has that box checked too, with six-piston brake calipers clamping down on a 15-inch vented brake rotor up front, and two-piston calipers mimicking their bigger brothers in back, where they squeeze 10.2-inch solid steel rotors. Ohlins shock absorbers are at all four corners with adjustable roll bars connecting the suspension from side to side. Front suspension is of the compact McPherson strut design, and rear is multilink.

Among the hoopla over the current and past Ford GT’s success, it’s easy to forget that Ford reincarnated the GT in 2005–2006 as a road-going tribute to the company’s racing icon. It featured a modern chassis and drivetrain wrapped in spitting-image styling, making the second-generation Ford GT a nostalgic home run. Never intended as a racing car, the second-generation Ford GT nevertheless recaptured success on race tracks through enterprising privateers who did what Ford didn’t: build a Ford GT racer. The most successful was Robertson Racing. They finished the 2011 20 Hours of Le Mans in third place in the GTE-Am class. The result was noteworthy, as Andrea and David Robertson were the first married couple to share a car in the race’s 88-year history, and 1931 marked the last time a woman stood on the podium at the 24-hour endurance classic. Very cool.

The Tacoma is the embodiment of the yuppie urbanite vehicle. Every Tacoma video I’ve watched on Youtube shows some early 30′s bro in his suburban mcmansion, talking about all his "off-roading" mods yet there’s isn’t a spec of dirt on the truck. And the most offroading they might do is a dirt access road on the outskirts of the city.

The Superlite GT-R kit includes a manual steering rack, but Smith wanted power steering. An electrically-assisted system from a forklift did the trick. "The steering on the car is lovely."

Optimize your drive with efficient car chargers, convenient phone mounts, safety-conscious dash cams, and more car accessories. Here are the best car tech deals.

Govt should be supporting he local licensed used car dealers who are hurt when ppl import cars directly from japan? Have you even looked into the prices that they are asking for those cars? These guys are trying to get 2 and 3k profit per car, absolutely ridiculous prices considering that the process of ordering a car is just as easy and takes just about as much effort as ordering something from as online store. There is one local and licensed used car dealer that I know that even offers financing, thru a bank! Up to 3 years loan. Imagine that!

While not really designed for overhead applications, Skilsaw produced a light weight Pro-level table saw.

Okay. Then coming back, I mean you indicated the U.S. market is about to make a changeover to disc brake. Then I guess the launch of your truck disc brake is ready to supply to customers. When will that be?

And finally, there are a couple of jobsite table saws running around with flesh detection to drop the blade out of the way if it detects a strike. There’s a significant premium in cost for these saws and there has also been plenty of litigation regarding whether it should be required on every table saw and whether more than one company has the right to manufacturer the mechanism. But they’ll save you a much worse injury in the event of an accident.

Starting with a 2019 Challenger R/T Scat Pack ($40,490) and its 392-cubic-inch 485-hp/475-lb-ft V-8, ticking the $3,995 box nets long list of go-fast features intended to make this version of the 2019 Challenger a reliable, consistent, and relatively low-cost quarter-miler for the enthusiast to race regularly. Topmost, the package includes: a robust ZF eight-speed automatic transmission (replacing the Tremec six-speed manual); an asymmetric limited-slip differential with a 3.09:1 ring gear; extreme-duty 41-spline rear-axle halfshafts (adopted from the 808-hp Challenger SRT Demon); 9.5 x 20-inch forged-aluminum wheels with knurled bead seats to minimize wheel rotation within the stationary rear tires; and street-legal 275/40R20 Nexen SUR4G drag-radial tires developed for the 1320. And to promote the best, most consistent launches, the package also adds: adaptive dampers with Drag mode (allowing more rear weight transfer); front-brake line lock for easy burnouts; a Torque Reserve system, which Dodge describes as "managing fuel flow to cylinders and controlling spark advance or retard to balance engine rpm and torque to maximize power delivery and launch performance"; and (also from the SRT Demon) a "TransBrake," which locks the transmission’s output shaft to hold the car stationary with the engine revving before a standing start. The Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 also comes with a pass-through headlamp cold-air intake and an 8.4-inch UConnect touchscreen (minus navigation) that enables the driver to engage all the drag-racing paraphernalia. What the 1320 package does not include are front passenger/rear seats and seatbelts, scavenging about 114 pounds. Those may be returned to the car for $1.00 each.

Longer fork blades accommodate ’cross tire clearance with 700c wheels and mud clearance. This did not present a problem when I put a 700c wheel with a 40mm tire into the OB1 fork.
