Almost thirty years ago, my father (whom I was very angry with at the time) had a decent sized heart attack and died while we were watching TV together. Absolutely needless to say, it was Superbowl 44 (XLIV), but that’s a whole ‘nother tale to tell for some other time.

Needless to say I was not very happy with the…

Right, because catalytic converters flow so well these days, they don’t even restrict the exhaust the car is exhaling. No power at all.

You can gain upwards of 10% easily on cars that are heavily restricted. Take a look at an S65 V8 from the M3 - it’s absurd how much power is held up by just the primary cats - then you…

Tell that to the forest fires emitting “particulate” that lands on glaciers 1000s of miles away. I don’t think we can say anything “settles out” in a given amount of space unless we are talking about a space that is enclosed (not real world).

Right, but isn’t that article talking about how we can (in the future) omit NOx aftertreatment? Aren’t they just using that graph to demonstrate emissions at various amounts of AFRs, engine-loads, etc.?

I am pretty certain that the graph does not say that “the NOx levels for the depicted engine are too low to be…

Yeah, good work! Get em! Throw em’ all in jail! Raise taxes, and add many more government agencies to tackle this large issue plaguing the nation.

Ha, yeah me too... I “bolt on” my test-pipe when I “visit the track” as well. I then throw the cats back on when I leave “the track” - it’s the sensible and legal thing to do. </sarcasm>

Yeah, it’s our fault. You are 100% correct. We should have 2 or maybe 3 government agencies wasting their time over the .00000001% of “car population” that is circumventing emission controls.

In fact, we should probably create another sales tax for this, and charge all car buyers. I mean, I hear people talking about…

I don’t even know where to begin. You are an engineer, but don’t know if there is an equivalent of a Joule in Imperial? You are an engineer (mechanical much less) that uses the fucking Imperial system? Are you on crack?

You have NO fucking idea what you are talking about. A newton meter and a JOULE are COMPLETELY…

I AM a scientist, and I don’t know where to even begin. First of all, deceleration would be a DIRECT function of battery usage (in fact it could be “negative” as you suggest by using regeneration techniques) - but even if it hadn’t any regeneration, it would still have an effect. It’s like saying -1 is less than 0,…

No it can’t - you are absolutely wrong. Without a component of time, there can be no energy. Period. What if the bolt doesn’t move?

Come on, you have to be kidding me. Why do you have a thought in your head to make up something as you write? Why give information that is an outright lie?! Just don’t say it, but still get your point across by saying “the extra weight taxes the batteries more” - that would be correct and undeniable. However, if you…

It’s called parallax. It’s the same reason you don’t see your nose.

Da Fuq? You just rambled on for what felt like 200 sentences saying the same thing in various ways - before I gave up on reading (read: comprehending) your nonsense.

Just a few “clarifications” (as you would call them)
1.) An accident is ALWAYS preventable (re: Bianchi’s death)

LOL - “A couple of 100ths of a second faster than a manual!” - try .2 seconds in the quarter mile with a good driver in the Porsche’s case. That’s VERY significant considering the trap speeds we are talking (many car lengths). Over the course of a lap? Add it up.

I like that this article really shows the fury of the typical American mindset. Thank you for sharing!

We don’t over-exaggerate anything!
