Hmm, then why a 4 cylinders sport bike could scream so high @18k rpm? Even though it only has equal firing/second with 6 cylinders @12k rpm.

It’s like intentionally make the engine “knock”, but with controlled timing. Most of the mixture not ignited by the heat from the flame front (like normal gasoline engine), but by the heat from increased pressure (like diesel).

So, if someone have to choose between open diff AWD and locking diff 2WD, wich is superior in off-road?

Although German and Japanese probably prefer their own DIN/JIS over ISO.

Yeah, and street racing has been in NFS since mid 90s, modifying street cars since early 00s, and what else? There’s nothing exclusive in barn find, only how they implemented it.

First time I see Shelby Series 1 outside of Gran Turismo.

Why does such thing exist in the first place? Surely pulling a handle is not more complicated than pushing a button on a fob.

Missed the old days when different team runs different engine (different brand, at least).

Sadly I’ve never get may hands on a car with start-stop system, but my sister owned a scooter with one. It combined the starting and charging system into one motor-generator unit. There’s no brushes or one-way clutch, I bet it’ll last longer than conventional system. It’s quiet too.

The key is in the X letter. They couldn’t just update the old car and still call it eXperimental, their old experiment has ended, they have their result. Now they have to built something new, something different.

The gurney managed to move in the opposite direction from the vehicle it was in, as if it was actually trying to escape.

I wonder when F1 cars started to have wings and fins, was that aesthetically right back then? Did it not spoil the DNA of the older F1?

I miss the day when privateers used to build their own machines in GT300 class.

Engine displacement shouldn’t be a problem, it’s the configuration (tranversely mounted inline-4) that practically banned Subaru to ever go back to WRC. Of course, giving up on their symmetrical AWD is still an option, but if they ever get to that decision, they might as well rebadge a Yaris.

As long as I can pick my own gears, be it via lever, paddle, buttons, etc. I consider it manual.

There’s also readers feedback to be considered. I’ve read some good series with very high rating (on pirate sites) got axed because they didn’t got enough rating in their home country. What can overseas fans do to prevent that? Buy the official release? Of course. But will it do any justice if the translation takes…

They should’ve hired The Asian, with fake subtitles a la Clarkson.

Why aren’t they called GT-Three?

Center mounted shifter pattern is same in both LHD and RHD. But RHD’s column shifter pattern is mirrored (at least the only RHD car that I drove which has column shifter is).
