Hi
Hi
Thanks. Made it myself.
If he delivers on this shit, my next car should be perfectly timed to be a model 3. Right now with falling gas prices there has been a lot of anti tesla sentiment. My desire for a car with full torque from zero RPM and less mechanical parts splashed with a dose of fun hasn't abated one bit. I'm willing to admit that I…
Since The 288 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) was supposed to be a homologation special for Group B rally, it was named for Ferrari's other legendary homologation car, the 250 GTO.
GT != GT40, however.
Benz uses v8 scraps to make v6s knowing they're not their "premium engines" the cadence doesn't matter... it's a cost saving exercise.
I work in a shop that puts on 10-20 sets of winter tires on a bad day in the peak season, so I can compare this over a large sample size. Tonnes of people come in swapping their (newly bought) all-seasons to somewhat used up winters. There's no comparison. If your winter tires aren't on the wear bars, they're better…
Wrong layout - maybe; however I strongly believe the Tipo 916 GTV/Spider are to become future classics.
When we were doing straight line testing at Santa Pod raceway (English drag strip) back in 2008 with the Panoz Hybrid electric prototype (we were doing power steering and ABS tests of a system bought from Williams F1 for the Le Mans programme) the driver stated - loudly and clearly and often - that it was "fucking…
we set the Dyno to record data in a distance/time sweep to properly capture readings with the single drive gear. This proved tricky as there was a fine line between breaking traction/overloading the cars power management and getting a successful reading. But after a few pulls we were able to get repeatable and…
Taken at the 1989 24 Hours of Lemans. I was really hoping the Jaguars would win that too but the Sauber/Mercedes were too much taking the top two places and regulating the first Jaguar to 4th, 11 laps down. This race was notable for being the last Lemans ran without the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight where some of…
Still can't drive a PT Bruiser and be shamed.
Christmas '01 I was given a 2002 E46 M3. I had been steadily making it known how much I loved them since we saw the concept at the NAIAS (my dad and I used to go every year). I had taken care of the family's hand-me-down '90 BMW 750iL and a 1999 323i with no accidents, tickets, issues, etc and had excelled in my…
