Drive train losses are around 15% from crank to wheels, all that power turns up as heat in the drive train. 15% of 500+ HP is a lot of heat. It wasn’t so much of an issue when performance cars were only 350 HP and less, but now diffs and transmissions hold less oil, are smaller, and have to stand up to a lot more HP.

*Ford offers GT350 with either Track Pack(which includes the trans/diff coolers) or Tech Pack*

I appreciate his honesty, but the issues the car presents with make it a CP at, well, pretty much any price. Right off the bat it needs a clutch master cylinder, which isn’t expensive or hard, but it’s something I have to do. It needs coilovers, which isn’t hard, but again, something I have to do. It needs a CEL…

at some point, it’s safer just to ram them. and with a vehicle camera, you can show that the brake checker was the cause of it all..

I’ll be honest: from an engineering standpoint, the Nazis did some amazing things that should be preserved in ALL their glory.

While I wouldn’t be particularly opposed to the second half, there’s no reason that the car should suffer. It’s an item with interesting historical value and in the right hands could be part of an educational display. Just because the Nazis were truly evil doesn’t mean every product from them should be destroyed,…

The problem is, those panels aren’t fiberglass. They’re a heavy-gauge injection molded plastic, not unlike you’d find on a kid’s toy dump truck. Those panels aren’t ever going to be made straight.

The seller says that much like family planning clinics, it’s recommended on this Bricklin to use the rear entrance.

Yes, I was agreeing with you that fuel taxes need to be revised.

We’d have slightly less of a shortfall if gas taxes weren’t diverted, but that’d still only bump it from something like 30% of road costs paid for by gas taxes to 36%.
Well, maybe somewhat more than that, indirectly. The portion diverted goes partly to mass transit, which tends to reduce the number of cars on the…

Unfortunately with just a little investigation you’ll find these people moved to Florida from other states.

The whole recent history of Detroit is in that shot. Spectacular rise of the car, glorious 60s followed by a sharp plummet, hitting the ground, wrecked, surrounded by a mob and the police.

That is awesome!

When friends and family ask me for advice for what car they should buy. I give them several really good, interesting options. Then, they ignore those choices and end up buying a Camry.

Wow, this just seems like such an incredibly poor idea...

IRP! Remember watching races televised from there & always wondered what happened to it. Thank you for explaining how the demise came about.

Murano cabriolet. There is at least one of theose abominations in that development.

More like idling under a freeway overpass

The Acela is actually profitable for Amtrak, and several other urban routes break even or come close. Where Amtrak loses a ton of money is on the long and slow cross country routes. Those could be cut without much negative effect, but they won’t be as they are protected by Senators from the big empty states.
