dunno, a quiet generator during california blackouts due to fire/wind season is a good thing imo.  plus due to planned power cuts, they generally only cut to a certain area, meaning you can charge it up in a neighboring township that isn’t affected by the blackouts, and come back and stay comfortable in your home. …

he mentioned something about front and rear being able to be lifted or lowered 4 inches, plus auto balancing or something like that.

i felt the same way when i saw it, though with a few changes. i was telling my friend as we walked the floor that this design is fully doable and seemingly production ready - the nsx proves they can have aggressive front ends. obviously some of the details will be toned down like you mentioned in the video, but no by…

rivian has 11K.  5K is a bit low

So I was at the show yesterday. Bierman clearly stated things like fun not only at the track but on everyday roads. He then went on to say it currently has the 2.0 from the tcr car (like you quoted) but then mentioned they are working on using their 2.5 engine to extract 380 hp. 

I have a qx60 as my family mobile. It's not bad besides the replaced transmission, which was at least under warranty. The worst part is, the service at dealerships suck. The experience at Lexus was significantly better. Infiniti is no different from Nissan in how they treat their customers, and if you're paying a…

the rear location of the engine also helps place more weight on the rear. the stated weight distribution is 40/60 if i remember correctly. you’re already placing the weight on the rear, so more rear downforce may not be needed. instead, front downforce will be needed, like those canards and splitter. and i bet the…

Never heard it called goose neck. Usually hear swan neck. To answer axial, a swan neck wing maximizes the surface area of the underside of the wing, resulting in less flow separation and more down force. However it does increase drag. I imagine the reason Corvette racing went with the traditional mount was that with…

the current McLaren engines originated as race engines from Nissan (the VRH motor). it got reworked by ricardo until it became the current multiple variations of mclaren’s M838 motor which powers all current mclaren cars if i recall correctly.  Mclaren does own full rights to this engine but yeah, they don’t actually…

looks like towing capacity went up to 3500 from 2000.  so you went from flat towing to aluminum open trailer towing.  or perhaps slightly bigger boat?  i’m all for diesel towing capabilities, but was this worth the investment by mazda?

Kristen’s translation is correct - in 6 days, meet the next generation. good job fellow ABC

i see it as - leclerc led the race and determined the pace everyone drove at - SLOW. it cause hamilton to feel his tires were just fine, as were leclerc’s. so they stayed out longer than they would have because of lack of wear and because pitting would have potentially placed them in heavy traffic as everyone was…

does this also mean we can start importing cars that federally are now allowed, but not allowed under california laws?

this is a horrible idea. it’s right above teh wheel well and presumable also close to where the exhaust pipe is. wheels wells get warm. nobody wants a warm bottle of bacardi, red bull, bailey’s (that has cream inside), or orange juice.

you forgot phantom

Hannah also drove F4 for a season as well as a prototype for a few races. met her at a few races. really chill racer.

While he had the personality of a no nonsense driver (kimi-like almost), in person he was a pretty cool guy and was willing to chat strategy with a pair of nobodies who somehow got into the mercedes team tent. short replies but never pushed us away.  RIP herr lauda

and japan is currently in a 14 year recession. 

and look at the japanese economy now.

actually, no, the seats are hard mounted to the chassis. There are 4 inches of high-impact foam, and the suspension allows for about 2 feet of travel. Altogether, the chassis, tire, suspension, and seat design will result in reducing a vertical deceleration of up to 15G to about 4.5G.  a lot, for sure, but much more…
