TIL, makes sense now that think I about it, the spiders in an LSD actually aren’t getting hammered during lockup, only the clutches. Conversely the Torsen gears are getting hammered during hard launches.

Not surprising at all that abs had worse stopping distance on snow. On low traction loose surfaces locking up will always stop better then not locking. The advantage of ABS is you can still steer and you won’t spin. Its the opposite for high traction surfaces, you don’t want to lock up. ABS was not invented for…

H1 hummer: torsen diffs front and rear

The last gen mustangs came with torsen differentials with the track pack. A torsen is better then a limited slip differential even though it is sometimes referred too as one. The new strang also uses torsens. The advantage is the diff locks up before there is slip. Let’s not forget that the older mustangs are much…

You know more about it then me, but I agree we need to give our police the tools to do the job and survive it. You give police the ability to survive an attack and the less quickly they will have to result to deadly force. Armored vehicles allow police to get closer to a situation with cover to make the best decision.…

You’re right it isn’t binary which was why I was was making fun of the original comment. De militarized vehicles refers to vehicles that might be shared with military but have had their offensive weapons removed but their ability to survive an ambush intact. They are defensive tools only, I don’t see anything wrong…

Yeah you’re right the LAPD does need weapons or militarized vehicles to fight crime. They should just use rainbows and unicorns.

So now you’re an expert on what the best use of others people’s time. Seriously who put you in charge?

You must have a pretty low opinion of women to think you know best for them.

While we are at it we need to ban (american) football as well because its hurtful for men who want to cheerlead. Men can be just as good of cheerleaders as women.../sarcasm

Seriously its like the author is trying to find something to get pissed about.

The beauty of capitalism and the voluntary transaction which is a win-win.

You can open my dads 2016 F150 tailgate with a push of a button, if that’s the criteria for a power tail gate then Ford beat Chevy and Dodge to it.

The Raptor and ZR2 use leaf springs and they have the best suspension of any road going vehicle. Leaf springs are progressive, save weight and have less bushings and joints to wear out. The are a good suspension for pickups.

First of all carbs are the ones that add extra fuel in the warm up process and they should not be warmed up due to detriment to the engine due to excess fuel, not electronic fuel injection. You should not idle a carb car to warm it up. Also an engine under load warms up in less rotations then one at idle so if you…

That is interesting. I’m not sure the Crosstrek has a lower aero load even if it has a lower Cd because of more frontal area. Also if your commute isn’t flat then you would have to wind out the Crosstrek more then a WRX which you could keep in the boost at low rpm which is more efficient. It would interesting to see a…

In all honesty I don’t think your mods have netted you 32% increase in fuel economy, I believe it’s a combination of driver, terrain, and rounding up on the best MPG you ever got. Like you said it doesn’t make sense that your car can’t be matched, so the easiest answer is the obvious one, if your car was put through…

You kind of made my point, the answer to your original post about why you can’t have a new car like your ‘03 WRX is because of cost.

It seemed you were for the cafe regulations that were forcing car manufacturers to build different cars then the market wants, You don’t have to be for Trump, but you are either with or against his policy. I’m getting the impression that you are with his policy.

I bet I can turn my windshield wipers on, adjust the climate control, set the cruise control in my Chevy faster then anyone can do one of those things in the Model 3. I like my single function buttons. The iPhone lost buttons to make the screen bigger, the Tesla lost all those buttons because why? Look at an F1…
