@racerx: Ok, it is japanese in the same way that the VW Routon is German.

@Accordforall: Unless I really overslept and it is 2010, HondaJet is yet to produce more than a prototype.

@jduffy13: Yes and in the future computers will make paper obsolete!

@plazma: I would just like to point out the author of this article has driven the ZR1 and thinks its pretty good, but obviously your experience of the ZR1 shows it to be mediocre.

@AiDonWaiKit: The kappa platform is not from opel, see how much it resembles the crovette platform with the hydroformed frame? It comes from the north american division, I do not know why you think it is opel.

@layabout: I am sorry this does not meet your standards of comedy. To improve the matter the segment will be replace by a man in womens clothing, in order to conform to the first rule of british comedy.

@harumph: Both management and the unions share the blame for this situation. The problem is not so much the super high pay of union labor, it is probably a pretty small part of the costs compared to the benefits.

@P161911: Correction three FSAE stories related to FSAE, Vanus also had one.

@rocor: F1 rules mandate a the wheel must be made of a single piece and be made of a metallic material. That is why you do not see carbon fiber wheels in F1.

I have done many stupid things in my life, but the dumbest was doing Formula SAE.

@weatherman: But this investment scam, I mean horseless carriage, uses a internal combustion engine to create the hydrogen. Sorry but:

@makopolo: No, it is hydraulic fluid. It has hydraulic accumulators that are filled with gas, probably nitrogen. The hydraulic fluid compresses the gas to store energy.

@dmdukejr: I would bet that this is lighter than a comparable electric system. Hydraulics have great power densities in terms of energy storage per weight compared to batteries. The hydraulic motors are much lighter compared to electrical motors. That is why they use hydraulics from everything from flight control

I could have sworn that season for setting ring records was over, something about it getting too cold and wet.

@nunya001: It was someones idea a few weeks ago, and by a few weeks I mean a few decades. The most famous was group C, the problem is that it becomes a boring race to watch as everyone is conserving fuel.

@bpapa9013: No it is not true they are very different engines. The R10 engine is a race engine from the ground up. One of the biggest differences are the R10 engine is an aluminum block and the Q7's is cast iron.

@jip1080: Saying there is a tech transfer from a modern F1 car to a road car is like saying the ladder on the apollo lunar lander advanced ladder technology that you can buy in a hardware store.
