Made a small difference when I first used synthetic on a 88 Turbo Supra I had about 12 years ago. It just helped reduce turbo lag a bit, noticed it took a little longer to warm up, but I’m sure the little bit of power it was able to develop was too small to feel. What did make a noticable difference in power to the…

Soo.. why not make it the law for modern cars to come with carbon monoxide detectors in the car and outside of the car in multiple locations (to prevent false positives).

That open hot air filter :-/

Dat done fudge up yo timing advance and introduce a high variance of air temps causing fuel trim to go nuts.

Otherwise.. I’m totes jelly

I have a 04 Saab 9-5 ARC, quick tune and it sings as it’s just a rebaged and detuned Aero (slightly higher and softer suspension). Got it for $1600 ;) just needed a few basic parts and engine mounts.

They wanted it to orbit Mars on the best chances but it overshot, and will likely end up somewhere before the asteroid belt.

If they tell you they have less stopping power, I’m very certain they do. I had a Supra (had a few) that i put track pads on and didn’t notice the difference from street/track pads, UNTIL I went on a closed course and felt my face being pulled off my skull consistently for 2 hot laps.

Very certain they were talking in reference of just old cars, like if it was a mustang from the 80's he might have done as well and a civic he would have probably died just hitting a large thorny bush. You know, because the paramedics talk about having no airbags in a crash and all and no modern car can be sold…

One glaring issue from One massive car nerd.

There are a lot of cars that only have ABS on the rear that it’s only function is to keep the car from spinning out. In that case it would reduce stopping distance. Also in the video i clearly saw the front wheels on both cars lock up while the RWD’s car kept the wheel spinning to keep control as the AWD had all wheel…

That’s all i saw too lol, poor experiment in my eyes.

Rather.. good ABS doesn’t necessarily help stopping distances, and balances slip with control. I’ve played a stupid amount with my Supra’s that i DD for 7+ years in the Chicago snow turning ABS on and off (very easy to add a toggle leading to the fuse location).. for fun reasons in said snow and it has excellent ABS…

I believe the Model X was a mal-advised exercise in marketing and exercise in engineering, unfortunately that’s what it was.. an exercise at the expense of Model X owners to help refine and advance the engineering teams at Tesla. One company everyone forgets that does this ALL the time is Apple, like clockwork…

Although 2.7, loses in conversion and charging will put it around 5ah drawn from the battery. Then if you have two phones it’s about 10ah.. or make it two tablets and call it 20ah+ which is enough to drain a battery enough to preventing it from starting with a weak crank. That’s very unlikely, but I’m sure he’s just…

I love it now that Google Maps remembers to avoid tolls so you don’t have to constantly look for the toll icon to go in to change it every time.

I had a few MK3 Supra’s, vastly underrated car.

Had electronically modulated suspension, Excelent limited slip, great suspension/handling with proper springs, surprisingly strong brakes for single (HUGE) piston calipers, climate control, “modern”engine management. My last one was almost completely stock with a lot of…

No one is remembering that 0-60 times most times removes the rollout times to 5mph making it 5-60 times. But it should also be noted that Musk said the 1.9 is to 100km/h or 62.137mph. Most probably playing with the number because it’s still a prototype.

3,000 pounds for that car and those tires, you can have a car that weighs much more as long as you equality adjust for the weight with bigger tires and more power. And at 10,000 nm of torque you definitely have that power.

iRobot is all about automation and uhh.. robots

For me, it’s just Turn Warnings and High Beams.

Or.. just use tape
