Well Done GM, Well Done
2017 Cadillac CTS-V – Four door Corvette
Yes, and it is under the hood. A place that is enriched with Corvette Z06
heart, which translates to 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine rated at
stunning 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. Enough to propel
large sedan in 3.7 seconds to 60 mph and it could go as far as 200 mph.
It is sufficient to rip apart M5 in the straight line which is 0.7
seconds behind when it comes to acceleration. Still, it is old M5, and
since Merc’s E63 S AMG is 0.3 seconds faster than Caddy, new Bimmer is
surely going to stick to Merc’s numbers.
The mentioned unit is paired with
8-speed automatic gearbox, which offers sublimely quick changes, and
it’s also borrowed from the same source as the engine. If someone has a
better source for the loan in his mind, feel free to tell us. Fuel
efficiency is at, considering the situation, still acceptable 17 mpg
combined.
No Turbo, No AWD, No Care
Subaru's BRZ STI Sport Concept is not quite what we've been waiting for
It's an STI Sport, not a full-blown STI. Sorry, guys.
Essentially, the BRZ STI Sport Concept sounds like a lukewarm example of the lovable rear-driver, taking parts of the tS driving experience and marrying it with some interior and exterior enhancements. We can see those latter elements in the sole image the company released – the silver concept car gets a fresh body kit that's less aggressive than 2015's Performance Concept. The sole exterior image shows a subtle chin spoiler and a more prominent upgrade to the side sill. Smaller changes include STI badges in the lower grille and side grilles. In the cabin, Subaru apparently added dark red upholstery. All of this gels with the aesthetic the Levorg pioneered.
On the performance front, we see what look like Brembo-branded red brake calipers, but that's about as certain as we can get with mechanical upgrades. What we can't see are likely modest performance tweaks, focusing on the suspension. The Levorg STI Sport, for example, got adjustable Bilstein dampers, firmer springs, and a tweaked power steering system.

Some Excellent Life Truths
25 Truths Everyone Should Know By 25
7. It will come back to haunt you, so document everything. I believed you could settle every career dispute verbally and in a casual fashion. Unfortunately, when someone else’s job is on the line, they will throw you under the bus. You must have dated and written evidence (e.g. specific e-mails, signed documents) prepared to defend yourself effectively. You might only need it once, but it could save your ass…it has for me.
10. Developing your social skills is critical. This is the foundation on which to build your personal, professional, and academic fulfillment. In the real world, it’s not always about what you know but who you know. You need to learn how to communicate and relate with others in all aspects of life. These skills can’t be put on the backburner, start practicing them every day.
12. Being late is no excuse. Expect the unexpected (Murphy’s Law) and always give yourself extra time. You’re only excused on the rare chance of an emergency (your car blew a tire, you severely injured yourself). Otherwise, you are at fault and it’s rude to other parties. Leaving 15 minutes earlier won’t kill you and will show that you value other people’s time.
