The chassis is the same base unit, just with new suspension. The engine is the same unit, just with new mappings and cooling upgrades to keep it from nuking. Everyone got the new tire.

I always wanted Deadpool to have a scene in one of his movies where he’s working at Starbucks. While calling out orders, he yells “Peter!” and than we get a shot of Maguire and Garfield approaching the counter with Deadpool shooting off a quick 4th wall breaking quip.
My guess is that they wanted to take the financial liability off their books. They ended up with this PR mess instead.
It may be something on the order of facilitating someone breaking a contract. Everyone knows about the GT contracts, so Mecum agreeing to sell the cars at auction makes them liable for assisting in a breach of contract.
Not if you agree otherwise in the purchase price. This happens all the time with property - historically significant buildings, or neighborhood associations can be required to maintain certain colors and looks. Or if there’s an easement of covenant against it benefiting a neighbor you might not be able to restrict…
This one is three times faster.
The Advance Sp is still my favorite console (aesthetically) of all time. That Battle Royale one is sure weird!
If you haven’t seen the movie I’d recommend it. Think the Hunger Games but brutal and violent. (After watching it you’ll realize The Hunger Games is a blatant “young adult” clone of Battle Royale. The Hunger…
Expert here - The basic idea behind downsizing is pumping losses are the easiest thing we engine engineers can reduce. Pumping losses are reduced to almost zero at wide open throttle, so we try to run the engine at WOT all the time and use the turbo to make up for the power loss. However, if you get into enrichment…
So the problem you’re describing is a engine performance parameter called Brake Specific Fuel Consumption, or BSFC. Different engines have different levels at different pressures and RPM ranges. You’ll typically see BSFC graphs displaying Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) on the vertical axis, and RPM on the…
Tl;dr: look up base specific fuel consumption (bsfc).
Is nobody going to comment that this car is clearly NOT supercharged? It’s decorative, and apparently the car also now no longer has A/C as the A/C pulley has been re-purposed to “drive” the fake supercharger.
One of my favorite parts too - but Nantz actually suggested it first; and *then* Tony was all, “YES! Great call - Andy should absolutely call a timeout here!”
I think it was that throw to Gronk down the sideline where he noted, “If the safety steps up, he’s going to Gronk one-on-one.” I immediately was staring at that safety, saw him step up, and I was like, “Here it comes.”
Probably the real problem is no one take responsibility for making the macro level decisions... especially with safety systems, they are not integrated (IE- The air bag system is typically independent of other systems in a car therefore the airbag system has no way to know if its in track mode, or not)
I don’t…
You’re missing the point. The nature of safety features is that you can’t build to the median, you can’t fail to deploy. They are always going to be prone to false failures, as that’s the way you have to design them.
I don’t know if I’m fully on board with you, but this is certainly less unreasonable than some of the other cases where just a fast transition set the airbags off. The car was fully sideways,sliding, hit and obstacle, and, from the looks of the video, got at least a little bit of air. The difference between that and a…
“The fuck outta here. That is WAY too sensitive.”
The A) statement is based on 20/20 hindsight and not sure how it can be supported. You might be right, but not sure I could say that just based on a video from the interior of the car.
