I believe this is the first major outbreak of Chicken Little-itis we've seen this year. I was hoping we'd be able to get through at least one month without an episode, but alas... 'twas not meant to be.
I would like to thank all the actors, non-actors, and the usual suspects for their participation in this performance. It's shows like this that prove the reports of the death of comedy are greatly exaggerated.
As for yours truly... I've wanted this car from the moment I saw it on July 11, 2021. In fact I immediately picked up the phone, called Park Place Lotus and put down a deposit. I've wanted it every day since; I have not wavered in my desire, not even once. I shall have it. It will be in my garage, and I will relish it greatly.
Once that happens, I expect the traveling Chicken Little Extravaganza & Medicine Show will sadly be moving on to another marque. However, if we're lucky, maybe they'll hang around for the debut of the first electric Lotus sports car! Just think of the performance opportunities! A splendid gripe is guaranteed for all. YMMV
) has something that AM called Positive Torque Control. When a steering angle is greater than x and the engine is producing above a certain amount of torque, you can lift completely off the loud pedal and the ECU will only close the throttle butterfly to the point where positive torque is zeroed-out, but it will not induce a sudden negative torque that results from a full-closed throttle plate (queue all of the youtube Viper spin-out videos). If you did this in a straight line all of the time, it might manifest as increased rev hang, methinks.
