Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport
Effectively replacing Porsche鈥檚 GT4 Clubsport which the brand introduced sometime in 2015, the 2019 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is Porsche鈥檚 track-only version of its now-iconic 718 Cayman. The 2019 version is offered in two versions, Competition and Trackday. The Trackday variant is perfect for amateur speed demons who have nothing else to do than to blitz the racetrack every weekend without necessarily having to qualify in any of the FIA-sponsored events. The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport Competition version is intended for real racers who would like to compete in GT4-spec races in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since the Competition is strictly for competitive FIA-sanctioned races only, one can expect it to have a more complicated suspension system. Under the hood of the new Clubsport is a 3.8-liter 6-cylinder aluminum mid-mounted engine that is derived, rather surprisingly from the brand鈥檚 Boxer 911 delivering 425 horses with maximum torque rated at 313 lb-ft at 6,600 RPM. You might think that it is seriously underpowered. The new Porsche offering retains the many design features of the Cayman S, except that it has a more aggressive stance primarily because of the various body features that drew inspiration from GT4 races. Speaking of the racecar body technologies, at the core of the new Clubsport is a composite material that is made exclusively from natural fibers.
It's smoother, but still not quite the finished article. Car buyers tell me they're lukewarm about semi-autos. They're neither one thing nor the other, lacking the smoothness of a full auto and the involving control of a manual. Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadsters are rarer - they're newer and there are fewer of them about. Buyers also seem to prefer the coupe, although this may change in time, as the car falls into more enthusiasts' hands. The latest variant to join the range is the mighty Aston Martin V12 Vantage. For this car, Aston has installed the race derived 6.0-litre V12 from the DBS, giving it a full 510bhp for 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. It is a staggeringly able machine, with the handling to match. The company has pumped up the looks just enough for it to look special: price tag apart, it's a real connoisseur's car. See, the 138,000 ticket remains a lofty ticket for a Vantage, so I look forward to seeing these age a little to find used examples at more sensible price points.
Really, I wish Aston had taken a page out of Audi's book - there, the difference between V8 and V10 is 10,000. Aston is doing exactly the same as it did with the DBS: the market is already correcting this. Rumours of an announcement of a V12 Vantage Roadster are providing some excitement. I hope that the pricing is more sensible at launch. Another part of the Aston Martin brand is the James Bond look. This means that Tungsten Silver and Meteorite Silver Grey take more than half of Vantage sales. If you do want something else - well, you can get away with blue, and we're beginning to see a few brave buyers taking up white. Red, though, is an absolute no-no. What's more, Aston offers a bespoke paint service, meaning you can choose any colour you like. For example, some buyers specified Ferrari or Bentley colours. The trouble is, the configurator at franchised dealers was poor - it was little more than a box of colour samples and leather trim cuttings. This made it hard for car buyers to visualise the final result of their choices meaning some of those early adopters chose colour combinations that, today, are virtually unsaleable. I've seen bright red interiors, totally mismatched to the exterior colour.

When we talk about taxes, we have to talk about the national debt and the national budget. They are two different, but yet related entities. The national debt is how much debt the federal government has incurred from the time of the first president up until the current president. The current national debt is approximately 20.6 Trillion. The reason it is approximate is because it is being added to the current debt, even as we speak. The current national budget deficit is approximately 655 Billion. That is the difference between what the federal government has spent on a fiscal year basis and what the IRS has taken in as revenue. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the federal spending is at 4 Trillion while the IRS income revenue is at 3.3 Trillion dollars. Trump and company has stated that their tax reform bill will add a total of 1.6 trillion to the national debt. But not to worry, it will be spread over the next 10 year period and with the huge tax breaks that the super rich and big corporations get, they will make up the difference in that 1.6 trillion gap.
