One trip to the referee and you’d be set for life. It’s not that hard.

You’ve probably never tried to keep a 7 sec drag car going in a straight line at full bore before. Let alone drive a dragster for 3.6 sec @ 334 mph in a 1/4 mile. It’s much more difficult than it looks.  

This reads more as a pitch to never buy a Rover vs. a reason to buy the extended.

Having studied wheel & tyre aerodynamics for over a decade, & written peer-reviewed papers on them, I can assure you that wheel size & design have huge impacts on aero efficiency. They can be +/-0.05 on CD, depending on how many of the effects you include (most OEMs exclude one aspect in their quoted CD values), and,…

Your point on the aerodynamic assertion is actually a good one. It’s reasonable that the increased energy used when rollin’ on 22s (rather than 19" wheel set) is due to something other than aerodynamic effects. The translational inertia (mass) and rotational inertia (defined by mass distribution from the axis of…

I don’t think the author understands that performance cars use low profile tires to reduce sidewall flex during cornering, or that series like Formula 1 and NASCAR use “fat” sidewall tires because the tire manufacturers want a large enough space to slap their brand name on.

Respectfully, you’re wrong about this. Political campaigns are about winning - if you can’t win, you don’t do it - unless, of course you are just using it further your own financial ambitions by raising your profile. Influence being power and power being money.

Its almost like fucktons of R&D works better for racecars than passion and pretty curves 

Not an automotive engineer but I design equipment for the auto industry and work with lots of people mainly at Toyota.... Based on conversations with them 100 is definitely low. Don’t think they have a fixed absolute max because component (like engine and transmission) get tested in test booths that are…

...you are correct. I’ve never heard of an OEM designing to only 100F....and that includes GM. Maybe the Corvette people just get off easy?

Lol, the fuck?

I mean, it’s just mag lev train in a tube going in a straight line.

Exactly. This is the SAME excuse we hear every time.

Maybe DHS should get a court order if they want to access the data.

Nuclear Grade is generally the same stuff as anything else, but with twice the weight in paperwork proving it is what it says it is.

What you described there is a warranty claim. If the warranty is transferable to future owners of the vehicle and still within the time/mileage restrictions than the manufacturer would have to honor that warranty and fix the audio system under warranty.

If Wall Streeters learned the basics of finance, they wouldn’t have purchased mortgage backed securities on the assumption that housing price would never go down again.

Yup. Then the non functional gauges cemented it as someone else's half assed project. 

The issue is that they need at least 35's to look proportional. That’s a huge extra cost and really should be done with supporting mods which are also expensive.

People pay a lot more to cosplay as race car drivers.
