the ttac racing shirts are finally here so we re going to give more of them away

What a long, strange trip it’s been for the TTAC Racing shirts! To begin with, they never made it to MSR Houston for the actual race, being left in a storage area by the folks who were prepping the car. The car itself never made it on track for the race. So this commemorates a race effort that, strictly speaking, never happened. It’s like having a shirt for the 1983 Corvette.

Which makes them either worthless or highly valuable. If the latter were the case, they’d be on eBay like, right freaking now. Since it’s the former, we’re raising the stakes.

We initially announced that we would be giving five shirts away. Due to the delay, we’re going to make that ten, and we’ll announce the winners from that thread on Monday. We’ll also give away another five to readers who post in this thread.

Sizes available will be Men’s L, XL, and 2XL, as well as Women’s “S” as modeled above by recurring TTAC imaginary character and improbably-constructed child of the Sixties, Julie Hyde. She would like to complain for the record that she received no chance to do any makeup or prepare for the photos. Complaint noted and ignored, Jules. No prizes for guessing what her nickname is.

I'd take an L size. I just wish I was as good of a mechanic as I am a fan of TTAC.

I like the thong idea. Since I'm a 2xl kind of guy, there would be PLENTY of room to work with material-wise. Picture this: A row of overly bright sequentially flashing LEDs down the backside terminating in a flashing stop sign strategically placed at just the wrong entrance. On the front, a picture of just Jack's hair embroidered over the crotch. Then screen the Merc racecar below the hair. I'd suggest a few prototypes before committing to production. 2xl. Anyone seen my Dewers?

Ajla It's a tricky situation. If public charging is ubiquitous and reliable then range doesn't matter nearly as much. However they likely don't need to be as numerous as fuel pumps because of the home/work charging ability. But then there still might need to be "surge supply" of public chargers for things like holidays. Then there's the idea of chargers with towing accessibility. A lack of visible charging infrastructure might slow the adoption of EVs as well. Having an EV with a 600+ mile range would fix a lot of the above but that option doesn't seem to be economically feasible.

28-Cars-Later "the person would likely be involved in taking the Corvette to the next level with full electrification."Chevrolet sold 37,224 C8s in 2023 starting at $65,895 in North America (no word on other regions) while Porsche sold 40,629 Taycans worldwide starting at $99,400. I imagine per unit Porsche/VAG profit at $100K+ but was far as R&D payback and other sunk costs I cannot say. I remember reading the new C8 platform was designed for hybrids (or something to that effect) so I expect Chevrolet to experiment with different model types but I don't expect Corvette to become the Taycan. If that is the expectation, I think it will ride off into the sunset because GM is that incompetent/impotent. Additional: In ten years outside of wrecks I expect a majority of C8s to still be running and economically roadworthy, I do not expect that of Taycans.
