You do know that turbos are able to compensate for the lower atmospheric density seen at altitude. Right? Yes, you see a higher turbine/compressor speed. And by operating closer to the edge on its compressor plateau, this means hotter air(less dense). This lower density also means lower intercooler efficiency due to…

You know what? I spent a lot of seat time in a 4C, I’m beginning to think you journalists telling us how terrible this little Alfa is are the posers. For the life of me, I can’t understand how anyone can complain about such honest to god fucking awesome steering, decent ride quality for the handles like its on rails…
Tangential to this, but just as an FYI to those interested in flight tracking, anyone with a radio capable of picking up the proper frequencies (police scanner, rtlsdr, etc) can pull ACARS data from plans within range using software like acarsd. Your radio doesn’t even have to be new and fancy, just able to tune in…
I won’t care about their lap times ‘till they rename it Oney Mc1face

Get OOOT!!!
Save some money for peasant-mods. Tone it down a little with some steelies and unpainted bumpers. Good to go.
Wear your jeans below the bottom of your butt crack with your boxers fully showing. Chew tobacco and spit on the ground. Always have 3 sketchy women with you at all times. Have no “inside voice” and user four-letter words in every sentence. Wear lots of Drakkar and an oversized ball cap. Pull out four of your visible…
This is a nice primer for those not too familiar with SAFER barriers, either technically or with their history. As a manufacturing nerd (the world’s most boring kind of nerd) the story of the supply chain (basically the fact that the obliterated) was particularly interesting to me.

Awesome! Here’s one of my favorite videos. Sounds like it is waiting to stab someone haha.
the mustang is the florida of cars.
An exhaust note you can only dream of.
TRUMP/MANSORY 2016
Cars typically are pretty big.
First F1 race I got to go to with these engines I had seats near a high speed corner. Thinking I had time, I made the mistake of not getting my hearing protection in before the first lap driven in anger and I swear something vibrated loose in my head. Subsequent laps with double hearing protection were still brutal,…
Hate to state the obvious but....nevermind
You would think Vulcans would have better cars.
Okay, just hear me out for a second. This build is absolutely insane. Not just the final product, but the entire road leading up to it. Over the course of this 9 year build this car has been stanced, smashed, slammed, swapped, slathered in oil, scorched, and ultimately resurrected better than ever before. Read these…
This might qualify. I’ve been tinkering with this Miata since I bought it new in ‘89. Pretty much everything on it has been tinkered with...interesting stats: 1895lbs, 250hp, built to have multiple configurations (convertible, bikini top, hardtop coupe, hardtop fastback, track setup). It’s a street/track/show(ish)…
