With Ferrari reportedly running very close to the 1000hp mark, combined, I would call the power to weight ratio more on par with rather than “shaming” My rough math shows the F1 car only down by about 0.1 hp per kg....

And that is really the heart of “the other sides” argument. I look at it as the vessel has 1600hp of “thrust” (and no I don’t care about any butt hurt pilots and my use of that word), not counting all the variables in parasitic loss, prop slip etc. But your explanation is also valid, I just like big impressive…

A 200mph Prius is still a Prius...

I don’t know how they are actually marketing that Formula but my guess isn’t as a fishing boat haha. More like a full cabin power cruiser. And yea most of us know that 1.2 is optimistic marketing. But then again I’m stoked my old trophy does 40 and gets 2.1 haha!

This is actually a really annoying argument that pops up all the time in the boating world. The way I look at it, we don’t down rate a car because of drag and turbulence, and they don’t down rate motorcycles even though its well known that high power bikes and their tires are actually designed around the fact that the…

The guy fights like no other when his back is against the wall and, as he showed in the last race, will do everything within his power to win. I understand why this creates tension in the garage but why the hell would you want a driver that does anything less. If ANYTHING I would say that Nico has proven to be just as…

He’s had to work so hard for this championship while watching it come so easily for others. I think he understands that he has above average talent and amazing work ethic but he will never be in the same group as Alonso, Hamilton, Schumacher etc. He has won his prize and left an amazing mark on F1, and now it’s time…

Two things, if you’ve ever worked with PB this is hardly even worth a roll of the eyes, and second, now that this video has made such a stink, don’t bother asking them to pull you out of a sand dune ever again because it will be against regulations from now on...

I hope they don’t mess it up. I personally think the current ram is gorgeous. Its a very modern looking, upscale and mature design. GM trucks (of which I’m partial to) still look like your grandpas truck and the F-150 looks like it’s one step away from a Fast and Furious cameo. I’m generally not a big fan of Fords but…

Your only making money in Formula 1 if you are either a house hold name or winning, and as much as I’m sure Mr. Haas is a huge racing fan I’m thinking the formula 1 team isn’t just an item on his bucket list. He has to win to make it viable and to win he needs a factory backed team in some form or another.

That’s what I was thinking...would be an awesome global marketing tool if they can get the bean counters to swallow the astronomical development costs

I know I’m completely out on a limb here but I can't stop wondering if this has something to do with Ford maybe being more willing to develop a F1 engine for Haas F1. Haas will never win a championship using customer engines from Ferrari and we all know how much Ford likes to stick their finger up that horses nose.…

I always thought the ez30 manifolds were arachnid-esk

You add an engine that is that complex then revert to a mechanical throttle linkage?? seriously would have been easier to convert the throttle pedal to electronic and keep a lot of tuning potential... and then you throw the relatively fragile early USDM WRX gearbox behind a motor that makes that much torque? yea CP...

The second gen 3.0L is capable of making well over 300hp when low level boost is added, and is much more reliable at lower HP levels than a stock block wrx motor with relatively lower maintenance costs BUT, I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of your arguments...CP

Well there seems to be an extremely determined businessman and enthusiast out of New Jersey that is intent on buying the company, keeping Erik Buell as Prez and reopening. He is currently trying to rally support before an auction for the company as a whole happening next month to keep it together. I would suggest…

Mmmm....17 year old toddler vomit stains and dirty dirty 80's German diesel...

He's driving so slow for the camera car that the turbo almost seems to be crying out in pain!

I still can't get over the fact that it seems to be running a run-of-the-mill commercial grade Furuno radar array. I'm sure I'm either wrong or there is a good reason for it, it just looks funny on something out of a Bond movie...

curious as to why they didn't test the Concourse or an ST but then again they did test the Spyder so who knows haha.
