C4 corvettes did that since at least 1990. Not as *well*, I’m sure, but the idea was there, nozzles on the wiper blades is not a new thing.

On a Talon? Just to look ‘cool’.

I think the main issue wasn’t whether it was good when it was working (by all accounts, it was), but more that it often *wasn’t* working, and the added complexity + cost of the additional hydraulics wasn’t seen as worth it.

No inspections here in BC, we had emissions testing in Vancouver for a while but they got rid of that a couple years ago. Good time to buy old cars!

When you’re trying to package a V8 with all the accessories into a regular sized car engine bay, you take the extra space you can get with items that will only need to be replaced every 100,000 miles or so.

I feel like it’s too ‘done’, there was that whole minish cap game if you want to play as itty bitty link.

Yeah, my ‘90 Vette also has a sensor that dims the digital gauge cluster when it senses it’s dark out to remind you to turn the lights on. It’s clever and they were doing it almost 30 years ago, don’t know why more manufacturers don’t.

What my ‘90 Vette also has, which I think is kind of clever, is a (digital because designed in the 80s, so always lit up) gauge cluster that actually *dims* itself when it senses it’s dark out, to remind you to turn the headlights on.

I use my parking lights every time I’m at a rally...that’s basically the only time I park on a dark enough road that I’m worried about people running into my car if I don’t

Nooooo they don’t. DRLs are front only in Canada. Reference:

My C4 ZR-1 came with 315s in the back stock (and 275s in the front), but it’s a fairly common change for people who track them to get the bigger tires up front as well.

Well, they can prove that when forced by your racing class to downsize, you can make sliiightly more power than the V8 did stock, while undoubtedly decreasing reliability.

6 Minutes to eat.

Should probably also be noted that higher Cd is not necessarily a bad thing in modern performance cars. If you want downforce you’re generally going to have to make drag.

I’d bet that the mustang also has a lot less lift at speed than your saab - keeping a car stuck to the road also creates drag, unfortunately. F1 cars have a CD of 0.7 or more.

Corvette generates more downforce at the cost of drag. Can’t have both, unfortunately. F1 cars have a CD of 0.7 or more due to all the wings.

This is the real question. I imagine it would have to be more...but if it could be less...my body is ready.

Come up to Canada, they’ve been legal to import for a while now so there are plenty here, I’m sure you can find one to test drive.
