McLaren originally raced in the New Zealand colors of black and silver for the Mk IA, then red for the Mk IB, then Papaya Orange for the Mk 6A all the way to the Mk 20 along with his Formula 1 cars. The answer is simple as to the choice of Papaya Orange: to better stand out with the TV cameras! And, they did stand out…
Guess where Gordon Murray got his inspiration? Yes, Jim Hall and Chevrolet Research and Development had a better idea in 1970:
Given that the front wings look like Gillette shavers, I suppose that spectator had a close shave with serious injury.
Really?, do say. My son is going to sell his Evo and he has some very expensive coilovers that I will use. No Spec R springs for me.
Thank you Dr. Vocabulary for your lesson. For me, cars are human like, hence my usage of personifies.
When Lincoln Continentals were uber kuhl:
I dig it.
Yes, it is painfully drop dead gorgeous. Still, Bruce McLaren had only one color in mind for his creations. Why? Because Papaya Orange!
I actually had a thread going on evolutionm.net about that very thing. My son bought his Evo in July of 2011 and I bought mine in August of 2011. He bought his locally and I got mine from Hub Mitsubishi in Houston. Both cars have the exact same mods although for some reason, his is faster than mine.
Oh, I know. I am the Rodney Dangerfield type, hence my deprecating remarks about my Evo. But, no wing delete for me. That is what the MR is for. My son also has an Evo X with very expensive coilovers that he is going to sell to get another vehicle. I am getting his coilovers so a drop is in the works! He has an…
Because Flugplatz. Chaparral 2F airborne at Flugplatz in 1967:
Yes, shameless, crass pic whoring no doubt. And yes, it is slow, at least for me it is. Makes about 350 hp to the wheels on a Mustang dyno. When there are 600-1000 hp Evo Xs tooling around with built 4B11Ts, mine is almost pathetic in comparison.
Audi is already doing it and I read that Mercedes will employ this technology as well. Garrett and Precision are supposed to be working on their own versions for the aftermarket.
Centrifugal superchargers are belt driven like a conventional Roots type supercharger. F1 cars are using a hybrid turbo that uses electric power to help it spool up faster. They are still turbos with an electric kick that eliminates lag.
People seem to want Crossovers and SUVs more than sedans. I have always loved the Maxima and of course, the VQ engines that they have used, but the new styling doesn’t appeal to me as much as the previous version.
During the halcyon days of Group B rally cars in the 1980s, several manufacturers took fwd vehicles and made them mid engine turbo monsters. To homologate them for Group B, they had to make
For some reason, Nissan’s new styling just doesn’t work on the Maxima. It does work however on the Murano and Rogue.
Angry Evo does not approve. When Mitsubishi decided to drop the Evo X and not come out with an Evo XI, they lost me. Too bad, because they used to make wonderful vehicles.
Excuse me, but do you have a little Grey Poupon? I imagine you live in a stately mansion where all the old money of New York and New England is.
