WE NEED MORE BURBLES!!!
Can we have some in-depth pictures of the engine, suspension, the carbon fiber tub, and any other interesting engineering going on in the car?
Anyone from Goodyear or the tire industry that can comment on the damage these holes can cause to the tire? It would be interesting to know if this "relief valve could be built in. I also know most NASCAR tires run an inner liner in case of blow outs. Shouldn't that prevent the nasty death spins everyone is fearing…
The United States border control already has a system in place to take out such ultra light air craft flying over the southern border. It is essentially a heat seeking UAV with a big nose full of goop. The UAV targets the engine of the ultra light and drives the nose into it, resulting in the sticky goop locking up…
What would you say the culture is like amongst the engineers? Are they passionate, quirky, innovative, raw? What sets that group apart from engineering groups at other companies?
1.) Ford Sweepstakes
Well, these guys did it with an rc car. They were the first to break the 200 mph barrier. They used an electric motor by Neumotors. Quick search on their website showed they were using the 1530 motor. Although the official power isn't listed, a guess based on the power level increase between models puts the motor at…
What tires is the car running and what are your impressions of them? Both performance at speed and ride around town.
Any good/funny stories from this event so far you'd be willing to share?
Awesome! In that case I hope you vaporize your competitors!
What driver technology (radar, cameras, HUDS, etc.) do you have in the current car that you really like/ what driver technology would you like to see in the future cars?
Mosler MT9o0 and Consuliers. Think about it, the MT900 was a composite chassis, had a lovely v8 in the middle, weighed about 2000 lb, and a proper manual gearbox. The MT900 used off the shelf parts from the corvette making it cheap to maintain and service. The car was scary fast compared to their contemporaries…
