Yeah, but where would they get their bribe money from?

They won’t be able to air it on traditional media for at least another year, due to the two year non-compete clause in the trio’s contracts.

They’re getting a loophole with this because this isn’t a *Television* show, but an Internet Show.

Except that it is true.

In every measurable way that is not a subjective feel-based preference (or reliability, but that comes with time and refinement), the CVT is the best transmission, since the IVT is not readily available.

To be able to keep your engine at peak HP during acceleration means that you have no need of…

Send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs after your next oil change, and gain the confidence to stop wasting your money with unnecessary oil changes after they tell you that the oil could easily make it to 10k miles or more.

Where is our Port Imperial Street Circuit?

It was supposed to be constructed in 2013, and has been in limbo since then.

From the looks of the course, it could become one of the greats...

How come this modified Elise keeps getting records for “production” cars?

Then the venom GT doesn’t count

It’s a modified Elise

I was more meaning that it doesn’t take a huge amount of money and re-engineering of a platform to shove a small V8 under the hood where a large V6 normally lives.

Especially if that V6 is a DOHC and the V8 is an OHV (Chevy loves their SBC, and that is one hell of a compact motor for a 5+ liter V8)

They could easily…

The 2006-2009 Impala SS/Monte Carlos SS/Gran Prix GXP/LaCrosse Super would like to have a word with you.

The FWD W body platform that had been in production since ‘88 had a V8 shoehorned in there for the limited production, high performance models of the cars that ran it.

Actually, manufacturers pay tens of thousands of dollars to dealers every month all the time.

It’s a kickback for having high CSI survey scores. Those tens of thousands of dollars are also why dealership employees are so focused on getting those survey scores, because they’re pressured insanely hard to achieve…

So, basically, Ducati is ensuring that Motorcycle Grand Prix races have just as little passing as Formula 1 Grand Prix races.

Keep the air behind the car/bike as dirty as possible and make it extremely detrimental to follow close behind, to make it nearly impossible to set up a pass.

Bernie would be proud.

You can edit, too.

Indeed, and I edited my post after a touch of research proved my initial cursory research wrong.

Looks like you were already typing your reply when I edited.

Indeed! They took over production, directly from Lotus, and just kept making it.

Er... Why are you saying the Lotus 7 is better than the Caterham 7?

They’re the exact same car, just made by different companies at different times.

And it’s not like he even actually has a “Pure” Lotus 7 there, since he swapped in a more streetable motor.

That’s like saying “A fifties colt 1911 is a much purer shooting…

What about Port Imperial Street Circuit?

When are we going to have a race on that?

That’s a track that could make the USA Grand Prix one of the great ones, rather than just another sterile, “check the boxes” circuit designed simply to have all the challenges a racetrack “should” have.

There was both an M60 and an M48.

Except that that expose was falsified, with pre-damaged tanks that would ensure that they sprayed fuel, and pyrotechnics installed to ensure that it would ignite.

NBC lost a defamation lawsuit and had to pay GM a huge settlement for their lies.

Evidently this one is something a lot of Jalops believe.

No, you can change the compression with the head. It changes the volume of the cylinders, but it doesn’t change the “displacement”.

The displacement is only stroke x bore (pi*R^2, etcetera) x cylinders. Nothing more.
