What STACK tachometer is that? I want.

Third, the paddle for + on the TLX is linked to the “how many times can you click the + paddle” meter on the instrument cluster.

I know, but it made me think about the fact that I’ve heard zero things about tracking a real Veyron, and I haven’t really ever thought about it. I’m curious how the ‘normal’ Veyron deals with track duty.

Hmm, I’ve never heard of any Veyron being tracked, let alone raced. How does the cooling system, brakes handle track duty?

At least they didn’t mention “Torque Ratios”....

I really enjoy reading and listening Bob Hall’s recounts of the NA’s development. You mentioned the tires fell into place late and made you guys sweat...I’m sure there’s a lot of little interesting stories like that. Are you allowed to go into these sorts of stories, or are they too new and still top secret?

So you’re the one with the Miatabusa!!!! The MotoIQ articles are boss.

Was the tire compound off the shelf or designed with the miata? Are the tires the same in all markets?

Nice. I’ve seen NA 4 lug failures, and the bearings go so frequently on track cars they’re considered a consumable. The larger bearings is something I haven’t heard before! Exciting news!

Do you know much about the design decision to go back to a 4 lug hub vs. a 5 lug? If so, what was the reasoning behind it? Would a 5 lug hub be that much heavier? I thought a 5 lug would be more durable against fracture than a 4 lug due to it spreading out the load more (not talking about the bearing, but the mounting…

I phrased it wrong. I mean that the NAV screen is a current option that’s prevalent in today’s cars that designers and engineers could utilize in a future product that could have the ability to show an incoming emergency vehicle. I don’t think it exists yet.

Ah, that’s the core issue we don’t agree on. You have much more faith in people than I. I’m convinced the majority of drivers ARE indeed idiots, and wouldn’t mind if technology took over their roles.

Exactly my point, which is why the phone should go into a locked mode so the driver couldn’t use it without the hands free interface in the car. This isn’t an end all, because they could still take a newspaper and try to read while driving too.

But you know what, not everyone CAN drive. Enthusiasts like you and I pride ourselves in our driving ethic, but many people can’t be ‘bothered’. The more automated driving becomes, the less chances there are of some distracted soccer mom plowing into your beloved car at a stop sign.

If the system was fully developed, I’m sure it could be designed in such a way to enable ‘911’ emergency calls at all times. I think the major problem is taking your eyes off the road, not necessarily having a conversation. Granted, conversation is a distraction, but not nearly as bad as looking down at your phone.

New cars pretty much all have a touch screen that can display where an emergency vehicle is approaching, and it’s only a matter of time that glass cockpits and HUDs become standard in econoboxes. I like this idea A LOT!

This article is boss. Some of these ideas I haven’t even thought of, but seem so natural that they should be developed!

You can still run a symmetrical directional or an asymmetrical tire backwards. The tire pattern is for wet traction (or snow...if you’re into that sort of thing). Mounting a symmetrical directional backwards has no affect on dry traction, wear or durability. Little known fact. You can still mount an asymmetrical tire…
