Because why would you want to take a multi port fuel injected car and turn it into a carbed car? Also, it's a ton of work (if you even can make the thing fit under the hood) for not a lot of gain, and you're still having to run it through the 4-speed 4T80-E. There are other Northstar mods out there that will get better bang for the buck.

American, European and Asian automakers just got put on notice by China. BYD’s $10,300 EV Gets LiDAR While America Still Treats It Like Luxury Tech - Autoblog Only auto's that have LiDAR are going to truly deliver self driving auto's. In a sad note due to INCOMPETENT Idiot47 and his administration as well as the Lemmings of GOP in the House and Senate. Mercedes-Benz Faces US Sales Ban Over Chinese Ownership Ties | automotive | informed, clearly Mercedes-Benz may be shut out of U.S. market under congressional bill Mercedes-Benz faces sales and production risk in US over Chinese-linked ownership Kiss the 11,000 manufacturing jobs goodbye, plants closed and the estimated 163,000 jobs at parts and supporting companies goodbye if this bill get approved.

Welcome to the iCar as Jony Ives was the designer and lead during production. He could not get his iCar produced at Apple and so he got Ferrari to do it in an overpriced way. Ugly as heck, but hopefully the experience of actually driving it is better than the look. @surreal1272 @ccap41 Ferrari should have released the auto as a Concept to get feedback from the public as this iCar is a styling failure. They could have take the Jaguar XJ220 and put in an electric powertrain and been far more successful than this iCar release they did without all the negativity it has generated. Does Ferrari need to go electric? YES Is this the right auto for them? NO Is the software and driving dynamic worthy of a Ferrari? Unknown

ITA does not have a 747. This is just a mock up if they did. That's a good looking bird. Alitalia had eight 747s and pulled them shortly after 9/11 because of the drop in air traffic and to cut costs. ITA uses the newer A350 and the updated A330-900neo for long haul flights. I have only flown on them domestically and was real excited to learn that they have added a seasonal Rome to Houston nonstop. This is all because they have joined Star Alliance as a function of being picked up by Lufthansa.

When cars had personality ... ... 1978 Cadillac Couple de Ville A lady I knew - Velma - when I was a teenager had one of these with a Cerise Firemist Metallic exterior - sort of a light grapefruit color popular in those years. She knew I loved her car.

That's a fair point. Even if it isn't "the same", it is certainly far too similar.
