This isn’t a new theory, but I always love reading this stuff anyway.

True, it is powerful in its own way. There were always going to be racists fighting this no matter what they called themselves, but I feel like in our very and overly sensitive society, the “too” resonates with more people. Perhaps I’m wrong.

Part of winning the war is knowing how to persuade those on the fence to join your side.

Well, as it currently stands, it’s very divisive. I support what they want, but it couldn’t have even created the “ALM” if it was “too”. They are highlighting and fighting against injustices on black people. It is a just and verdant cause, one most white people don’t understand because we’ve never experienced the…

I love demonstrations of Newton’s 1st Law.

I agree with you and share the same views, but have often thought BLM would be far more effective if they added a “too” at the end...

Sounds like insects buzzing about. That darn headifold design Ford uses makes this one of the worst sounding 4 cylinders.

Exactly. The practical car I owned at the time was just slightly slower, 4 cylinder, and had no pretentions of being a sports car. I put my foot down with the FRS and was like, “that’s it?”. The only reason it can break the tires loose is because they’re crap tires.

It's the primary reason I didn't buy one. I test drove two and was underwhelmed by the power, especially considering it was only marginally quicker than the 4 cyl sedan I had at the time. I loved the handling but wasn't cool with needing to go forced induction on an NA-designed engine just to make it exciting.

Interesting philosophy. I absolutely drive my V8, manual, rwd car like it's meant to be driven, but I do not expect anything to fail on the $7000 engine or $3000 transmission in the 60,0000 miles I have a warranty for. If I tune it or do things beyond basic bolt-ons, I'm taking the risk that it could (however…

I have no problem working on or modding my cars, and I do. I think a sports car should be quick in a straight line in addition to handling great. The Toyobaru twins are not quick. I've driven two NA and one turbocharged, and the NA cars just didn't feel exciting. They're only a little quicker than 4 cyl sedans. These…

They did, but then refused to give it a powertrain worthy of the chassis. 50 more lb-ft and it'd be amazing.

A little harder than it looks, isn’t it, Silicon Valley hipsters?

That’d be true if it were running skirts or relying on ground effects for the vast majority of the downforce. At the moment, the cars are flat-bottomed and have very limited diffuser sections. The rules could be opened up to allow more underbody aero that wouldn’t make the cars unsafe or hypersensitive.

Don’t cut downforce, change where it comes from. Ground effects aero is what they should be going for. It solves the dirty air problem. Open up the rules (not completely, though) on ground effects and restrict the wing-driven aero a bit, and we’d have ourselves some racing.

All truck makers use EGR, they just didn’t rely solely on it to meet the emissions standards, and used SCR from 2010 onwards, in addition to EGR. Navistar just tried using more EGR and extensive cooling systems to try and get there.

~40%, but yes.

Former Navistar engineer here who was part of the crash team to add the SCR systems to all the product lines. Navistar has everything they need to be a big/leading player in the market again, they just lack cash. They are only spending on necessary items because the market hasn’t come back to them as a result of being…

The D4 looks fantastic for autocross. It’s much like an unrestricted Formula SAE car that’s just slightly bigger. Too short of wheelbase for any open track driving, IMO.

WTF with that hair? It’s not 1977 anymore.
