This engine was built to rev.

Counterpoint: My 1984 318i saved both my life and the life of my girlfriend when we were rear-ended by an early 90s F-150 doing ~40mph.

As long as the valves stay closed in failure mode, a camless engine would be far more fault tolerant than a cammed engine. Even if a few valves fail, the controlling computer could almost instantly compensate for it and keep the engine running on the remaining functioning valves. And no permanent damage like with a…

The Cobalt Valkyrie-X doesn’t actually debut until 2017, at which time it will be one of the fastest planes in the world that still relies on a propellor instead of a jet engine.

Electric parking brakes are most assuredly less expensive to manufacture and assemble.

there is precedent for this

The fact that it’s so desolate makes it a great candidate for a much higher speed limit (assuming the pavement issues aren’t too severe). 120mph speed limit or maybe even unrestricted for certain stretches will bring out a bunch of speed junkies who want to test their cars’ limits, and will happily pay a $10 toll to…

Yeah but the Miata’s engine isn’t this smooth:

If I had a spare $25k, I’d be riding the shit out of this.

They didn’t ruin relationships, they merely catalyzed a separation that would have happened eventually anyway.

AvE tore one apart for us in a BOLTR!

Neutral: Can We Bring Traffic Deaths To Zero?

Replacing all that stuff with the engine outside of the vehicle, on a rotating stand, is almost like cheating.

In short, he lost a girlfriend over it, because it was either her or the car.
