If your left rear blinker light burns out on a 2005 F150, whenever you click the left blinker with your cruise control on, the cruise control will turn off. Probably has some voltage getting back to the brake switch system.

The center hump serves a big purpose, to hold the engine, transmission, transfer case and all mechanicals. You actually sit between the outer frame rail and the transmission. In a Jeep/Truck you sit on TOP of the frame and transmission, not in between. Its all about LOW CG and HIGH Ground Clearance.

Judging by the new Raptor seems Ford is skipping to 10 speed. I'm not sure if I like that better or not.

I guarantee you drove the Fusion differently then the Camry. My experience with Toyota's power train is you really have to have your mind made up for them to not shift early and try to eke all the mileage out of the car. While a turbo eggs you on with all that torque, also being a rental car... EPA mileage is a…

Take a look at Car and Drivers comparison test of the F150 3.5L Ecoboost vs Chevy's new 6.2L V8. Obviously the 6.2L puts up bigger peak numbers but area under the curve is where the Turbo helps most. Looking at performance numbers the Ford is 0.1s faster to 60 and the Chevy does the quarter 0.1s faster. The Ford is…

4 Owners in 5 years is a red flag to me.

Yes I know what you mean, driven an Audi A3 2.0T manual. It will also be different in the Tesla with one speed, no interruptions due to shifts. My car builds torque very quickly between 3000 and 4000 rpm (turbocharged) and while it may not be the fastest is always fun.

actually that roller coast is linear magnetically accelerated, basically like a linear electric motor.

This could be dangerous, I mean seriously, when you come to a stop sign its easy to see if cross traffic also has a sign (4 way stop) so you go before waiting for cross traffic to get to a complete stop because you were there first. Until now I would assume that flashing reds would always be 4 ways, and depending on…

HP is Torque X RPM, Torque is peak pressure inside the engine which for a NA engine at the volumetric efficiency peak. I don't understand what you want me to explain, the Cayote makes the same torque in both cases, probably pretty close to the same rpm.

Well torque has little to do with RPM (only the volumetric efficiency of engine varies with rpm), and 15 psi on top of 8.5:1 2.5 liter four cylinder is 300 ft-lbf, this is a bigger engine with twice the boost and it only makes 75 more ft-lbf? (torque is directly proportional to peak pressure the engine and that would…

The turbos would have to move the same volume of air that the engine is consuming, if the turbos are small they wouldn't build pressure against the engine. Basically like a speed density engine, the pressure, temperature and rpm are proportional to the air consumption. The only way the turbos can be high pressure and…

Something doesn't sound right with 31psi on top of 10:1 only nets 325 bhp. My EJ257 Subaru STI with 8.5:1, 2.5 liter, port injection and only 15 psi gets 300 HP, 300 Ft-lbf.

Unless the suspension geometry changes the CG height, it cannot affect rear ward weight transfer. Weight transfer depends on CG location and acceleration, not suspension geometry.

So you saying that the 1.6 liter Miata has "no balls" is not a sexist comment in itself? You don't think there may be some women that take offense to "no balls" meaning low power?

But I'm sure the GT has less drag due to lower frontal area, and the reason the GT probably has higher drag coefficient is more down force. Formula 1 cars have a drag coefficient around 1.0, pedal bicycle around 0.9.
