That subtle hood scoop and the Cobra nose backed by a 5.7 is so hot you wonder why Pontiac did not do that? Probably some nerd thought it would steal Corvette sales, or was unsafe at any speed.

Any reports on how it handles?

Sir, you have exquisite taste in toys. Just superb. (insert applause)

When it comes to silly bodies on VW Chassis, why not go Brazilian? Better lines, even if it still takes longer to get to 50 than the DPA.

Thanks, they're ridiculous cars. You'll notice i dont like stuff everyone else has or that you see very often ;-)

These are Like a new age cobra but there's no 5.7 conversions, it's all LS2=6.0/LS3=6.2/LS7=7.0 motors these days. The LS1 was the last 5.7 motor back in 2004. Lots of videos on YouTube of them, search V8 solstice or solbra etc. I figured you'd like these

Have you ordered one of these yet?


Of course, this passes for a good idea around my house:

Equivalent
Seat
KiloMeters

It is a similar measure to ASM's, but it accounts for cargo capacities and also accounts for different seating configs/numbers in aircraft types so that flying between AF/KL/AZ and DL can be effectively compared to preserve the 50/50 flying split.

Shorthand for Eskimo? Maybe he's referencing our codeshare with Alaska?

T, mr. sharp eyed editor!

I left out the "available" part, it should have been EASK.

EASK: equivalent available seat kilometers: capacity adjusted for seat density and cargo capacity.

Long story short, AirFranceKLM are still above 2010 levels capacity wise for the Americas, that should bode well for Delta's next summer flying push and ergo the next AE...

Cheers
George

My sincere thank you for the compliment, but I really had no idea what EASK was either.. but thank you for 'splaining it.
