This stuff needs to be posted to the FP immediately! I’ll read it when I’m doing my best work....on the porcelain throne.

Yea, right off the bat, the NEDC hits 75mph and the UDDS ‘only’ hits ~60mph. When are the US supplemental tests used? What were the tests that WVU used?

I found the UDDS (http://www3.epa.gov/otaq/standards…) the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule. Is this what they use for the testing? If so, it wouldn’t be hard to detect that it’s happening and change some engine mapping.

I’ve been trying to find a general summary of the different drive cycles. Do you have a link to the test parameters for the drive cycles?

I love the fact that media at the time didn’t have the urge to call it something stupid like Snowgate or Noseghazi.

Not only that, the Renault driver is going to have to pay the ring a pretty hefty charge in towing/cleaning and repairing the armco. Glad he’s okay!

My head just exploded with rage.

I despise the suffix “gate” that’s added to stuff like this. Stop it.

1. Front Fascia: Want.

The interior looks amazing. I always liked the XF slightly more than a similar 5 series...

Check out this gem from a couple of years ago:

Even the FIA was amazed at its ingenuity. Max Mosley said “It is the most sophisticated and ingenious device either I or the FIA’s technical experts have seen for a long-time.“

Yup! The MKIV Supra is another one of those 300ps gentlemen’s agreement cars.

creating technology that’s road relevant.

Ugh, I apologize for that. I was very drunk and being belligerent for no reason.

I’m not sure whether or not Raph was bought for this video:

Wow, Raph, you got bought out by Lincoln Tech? Stop being shilled out

“arrested a bicyclist for attacking a ZipCar with a u-lock during a Critical Mass ride”.

They were spectating on the outside of the turn so they deserved what they got.

But for privateers, 400k for a competitor is pennies on the dollar.
