Actually that one is the wastegate actuator can, not the bypass valve.
Meh I was really hoping it was going to be a high speed reinsertion of a half eaten burrito or something. A gum wrapper? Tame. But that aussie lane splitting gives me a #freedomboner. WHAT DO WE WANT? LANE SPLITTING! WHEN DO WE WANT IT!? AFTER A VOTE AND APPROPRIATE STUDY AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS!
Yeah I already thought most publications list the 0-60 and 5-60 (rolling start) times. Gaming the system is when you pick a gear ratio that just gets you to 62mph(100kph) at the top of second so you don't lose time on the 2-3 shift. This is the reason why the 2009 WRX (5-speed manual) was faster 0-60 than that years…
Car and Driver has been measuring the 5-60 times of cars since the beginning of time, and since the beginning of time they have always been slower. Even before computerized launch control, every 0-60 time published has used manual launch control (power braking). I believe C&D is the magazine that is the worst at that.
Pretty much every car is slower doing 5-60 than it is from 0-60. This is because when accelerating from a stop, you can dump the clutch at high RPMs (or brake torque the car to high RPMs if it is an automatic). When you accelerate from 5-60, you have no choice but to accelerate from low RPMs because the car is already…
No problem! To get better 5-60 times, you just dip the clutch and free-rev before dumping it...
Same thing. I thought this broke a couple weeks back about the split turbine/compressor.
Eh, not really. Martinsville is a short track and aero isn't really much of a factor on that track.
Yea but what you don't see is after the .gif ends the bolt bounces back up and screws itself back into place. :p
Interested in a Tesla Model S? Wary of making the purchase for fear of a freak fiery explosion involving road debris…
This... Worse? Try stalling a motorcycle and falling over. Yup... easy to do given the light flywheel and little to no bottom end torque on a performance bike.
We knew Lotus, despite their many troubles, was making a motorcycle, or at least getting someone else to make it…
Oh, really, smart guy—you’ve got a horse outside? Let me tell you about that horse. One horsepower. Questionable…
Please don't ruin my terrible joke with your reasoned science talk.
Someone sent us another half-completed Fiero conversion on Craigslist this morning and I damn near deleted it... but…
I know this is wrong, terribly sinister, but I'm not really a car guy so at this year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa…
