In my experience, chicks hate the RX-7s. They're loud, smelly, cramped, uncomfortable and will re-arrange your spine going over the smallest bumps. Guys are often more than appreciative of them.

So jealous. This is exactly why a 3.46 LSD is on my E28 project list. Mas snow hoonage.

Brake based electronic limited slip. Most low end cars have open diffs, right? Totally lame. Most low end cars are also equipped with ABS nowadays. You have the basis for limited slip right there. Seems like it would just require some extra coding within the control unit to make this happen. Why not?

I had a hard time crack piping this car. It's reaaaaaly nice but it is about 4k too high IMHO. I've seen really nice E28 M5's go for half this... and I was under the impression that an E34 is basically an E28 chassis with different body panels. And I would rather have the shark nose anyways.

1. Mazda: Embracing the rotary engine and using it to become the only Japanese auto maker to win the 24 hrs of Le Mans. Also, contemporary diesel wagon.

Yes, the Voyager craft are amazing! The wildest part is that we still maintain contact and retrieve info from them about the edges of the Sun's influence... because their reactors are still providing sufficient power to run systems! Some amazing first time images of planets were taken by these including the "Pale Blue…

Nope, that's also the battery pack.

I have to do it... FD RX-7 :)

I too have an uncle. He is actually my father's twin brother. They both drive 97 volvo 850 wagons. My father gets 32 mpg all day long while my uncle doesn't break 27 mpg. My point is that at some point driving style comes into the picture. You have to admit that it seems like a good idea in theory, just like cylinder…

Maybe I was too broad... the cooling system is where I've seen failures happen due to plastics failing prematurely. Such a bad place to compromise as it could toast a head or engine if failure occurs!

That article completely misses the point of turbo vs NA. Yes, to produce 200hp in a turbo car you need roughly the same amount of energy (gasoline here) as you do in a NA engine. That said, if you take a 1.6L engine and add 14.3 psig of boost (1 atmosphere), you are effectively doubling the displacement. Efficiency of…

F150 EPA MPG

Crappy plastic used on engine peripherals such as: intake, cooling system, valve cover etc. The price you pay is a significantly lower life span than cast aluminum parts.

First off all, you have misunderstood the subject here: what is the worst cost cutting measure? The ecoboost costs more than the V8 in the F150. That is not a cost cutting measure. Secondly, the ecoboost produces higher power output while using less gasoline per mile. How is that not superior? You pay more up front…

It's much easier to regulate the emissions from 1 coal turbine than 100,000 tail pipes. That and most recharging would be done at night when the turbines must remain spinning, but there is little other draw on the grid.

People alreadyuse the term "motor" to describe "engines". It will inevitably happen in the opposite sense with electric motors. The only people who's panties it will bunch are the nerds. :)

Yeah! And while we're at it, let's ignore our fuel gauge and warning lights!

Don't read them. :)
