And yet nobody asks the real question:

True. Even so, the Sabre was likely the better route to begin with, being a clean sheet design with a much higher power and developmental ceiling. The Vulture was always sort of a bad idea no matter how you look at it.

Sabre was an H block, so not quite the same thing, though they were in the same class.

Correction: The Vulture was two Rolls Royce Kestrels joined at the crankcase, not two Merlins. The design was an attempt to get more power out of an existing architecture that had reached its end of development. The Merlin was more powerful because it was a completely clean sheet design with many improvements.

They started using pressurized carbs very soon after that issue become widespread, which completely negated the problem.

Being a good racing driver does not make you a good person. He could win every championship from now until he dies and he’d still be completely intolerable.

This would be amazing for dropping gear on firefighters fighting wildfires or something, or even a small scale water tanker

You can pick up a Venator for half that price these days, no point in paying that much for something that should be sent to the scrapyard regardless.

I don’t know what it is about those early QR25s but they always seem to be burning oil like a motherfucker.

They got sand in the potato salad!

1. People who touch the wheel, or gear selector (or gearshift), basically anyone who fucks with the controls of the car. Its not funny, its incredibly dangerous, and I have actually left people on the side of the road for doing it.
   

Jesus fuck that is HIDEOUS

The only reason the LS9 uses a dry sump in the Corvette is packaging and weight reasons. Its perfectly fine with a wet sump, as are all of the other LS based engines.

Electric heaters have been done before but one of the biggest reasons that the regular coolant heater remains is that its essentially free heat. Its heat that would have been going out the radiator anyway, and carries basically no efficiency penalty. An electric heater would actually draw quite a few amps.

People make bad choices when they are panicking. The woman in this incident actually got out of the car and then got back in the car to try to move it, which sealed her fate. People always try to save the car, and it always gets them killed. The best piece of advice anybody can give is that if you can see the train or…

The interesting thing about this is that the engine actually worked pretty good, it was the transmission that was the problem. Couldn't handle the torque.
