Dry lakes racing brilliant innovative idea, measuring the front end lift during the run
I don't remember who was just mentioned doing this at the Dry lakes Racing Hall of Fame inductions, (the memory just is falling apart faster than ever) but the streamliner was fitted with an old fashioned gas tank level system, and its indicator on the dash showed the driver if the front was lifting while running the Bonneville course

2011 Audi TTS specs
How do the Germans redesign a symbol? Progressively, obviously. Admitting that it hasn’t very realized the level of, express, Porsche's 911 or the VW Beetle, the Audi TT is an outline symbol in any case—simply a touch younger. As a style-first and foremost, don-mixed incarnation of the Audi A3/VW GTI stage, the TT could be no more noteworthy if not for its adjusted overhang domains, Bauhaus-roused geometry, and slashed roofline.
Granted that the TT wears brand new duds for 2011, none of its indispensable qualities update. Heck, nothing updates much whatsoever. What has adapted are the headlamps of base TT 2.0 TFSI cars and roadsters, which now take in the winged-part, LED-underscored headlamps first viewed on the more intense TTS model, which was presented final year. The easier breeze admissions have come to be more squared-off and a few-dimensional in structure, but the single-edge grille remains, yet with reflexive level vanes. Out back is a late back valance with several round fumes tips but small else we haven’t perceived heretofore. Minor updates of even less note have been made within the TT—simply some unique aluminum trim on the guiding wheel and focus comfort and a few piano-dark pieces somewhere else. What you can’t see is the way that the game bind will now adjust both the guiding aid and fumes note for a meatier feel and sound.

Ford mustang 2011 view
will get a Camaro-beating 315 HP V6, as per dripped information presented on The Mustang Source. The revamped "Coyote" V8, notwithstanding, will just make 400 HP, to a small extent old-fashioned SS. More beneath.
This info is in line with what we've been got notification from our origins at Ford all year. The 2010 Ford Mustang GT came second in our Muscle Car Comparison Test mostly owed to the strength deficiency betwixt it and the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS (As well as an absence of panache. Wes continues disregarding this. Jokes. —Ed.), a more 85 HP will go an extended far towards producing that up.
When we tested a Track Pack-outfitted 2010 Mustang GT late final year we were hugely awed by its taking care of and self-restraint, with our just legitimate concern being over the somewhat frail and wooden brakes. The Brembos could be a welcome augmentation.

Ford Mustang 2011 Specs
Probably every last trace of this is why, when we inquired to test a 2010 Ford Mustang V6, our consistent contact appeared to keep favorably neglecting our appeal. Or he did until we terrorized to lease one—a delightful white unified with crisscrossed tires and stained seats. Then a Mustang V6 appeared, but just following we were needed to drive both a Shelby GT500 and a unique Mustang GT with the Track Pack that had been exceptionally optioned for contending in observation tests by the media.
But also when we required a 2010 Ford Mustang V6 out on the West Coast to take to the test track to run exhibition numbers, we were told that the one Mustang V6 ready there was in for repairs. Then after that later every last item went noiseless from Ford HQ on the matter.
It's as though the Mustang V6, which makes up the heft of Mustang deals, is a shame to individuals who in reality like autos, which incorporates a considerable number of individuals at Ford. Obviously, our contacts were at the unique hindrance of knowing that a much-upgraded Mustang V6 is on the course for 2011 (and knowing that we knew it, too) but would be unable to express anything about it.

Camry Collector Edition, what the hell? What Toyota sales dept exec thinks people collect Camrys?
This pulled up next to me at a stoplight, and it's the first time I'd ever heard of a collector edition car. That is one presumptuous car company!
Cars are collectable in a subjective way, IMHO, based on factors not up to the car maker, unless it's smart enough to produce incredible Italian sports cars.
The LE based Camry collectors edition was new for 2001 according to Wikicars.org
