“But it’s hard to imagine a race car performing to its full potential if its builder has to worry about meeting emissions regs, no matter what series it competes in.”

I don’t see the issue, the engine must still meet the EPA regs, even if it’s used on a track. Therefore the same restrictions apply to all engines in any…

Add to that arbitrarily different laws about a vehicles safety testing (gas tank locations were the reason the USA didn’t get the Commodore about 8 years earlier), and that Ford Global told Ford Australia explicitly to NOT design the Falcon to be LHD friendly, instead spending that R&D cash on making the Focus in…

Anyone else hoping Tesla will step up and put the guts from a P85D into them?

That’s actually kind of impressive. I quite like the mounting hardpoints. looks like with minimal work you could rig a crane to it and get some really impressive shots.

keyless ignition (I know they were not fitted on the s15 but after market versions are not that uncommon) or a turbo timer could be at play here.

We have known this video was coming for over 2 years (The car can be seen in the final seconds of the 288 GTO - Group B Spec video) and this is all they release? Damn.

Fairly common for Police / most emergency vehicles to do that when approaching a blind intersection - its a switch he hits, most likely on the left handlebar near the indicators.

Quick answer to the question why Harleys? Is most US states have a silly rule stating all police vehicles must be made in North America - that doesn’t exactly leave a lot of options. It certainly doesn’t leave the sort of options everyone else in the world has.

The B1 has a wider wingspan than this when extended, but when swept back is not as wide as the XB-70 and certainly not as long. The XB-70 could do Mach3.
Pity only 2 were built and 1 was lost in a mid-air accident. The one that survives is on display at the AirForce museum in…

I was pretty sure it was a Remy Julienne sequence, glad I was right.

Not pointless, possibly the most awesome, but given it was just some new bodywork and an very minor engine tweak.....

Renault Twingo, Xbox 360 edition.

Beer company tour bus.

The best part of the listing.

it’s damaged on the wrong side for that....

I for one am looking forward to a banzai Rossi starting at the rear of the grid, coming through on a mission to just get the position right behind Lorenzo.

It’s that, not the contact, that Rossi was penalised for I thought. Intentionally slowing and taking a competitor off the line.

When did the Indy 500 get added to the list of “must win races”? It barely rates as a “who cares” event to anyone outside of North America.

It hit the fairing, not his head - http://imgur.com/a/Jqs1G

When the brakes are applied, the tail lights are fully powered and lit up constantly, when the brakes are off and the lights are being used just as tail lights / running lights, they are not really on constantly. They actually flash very quickly to give a dimming effect - quick enough that to the human eye they appear…
