Howdy neighbor. If you’re ever bored one weekend pop on by AZP when we’re doing a BBQ and we’ll try and talk you into coming to one of our trackdays. I’d love to see the car.
The only thing that’s changing with a more powerful car is the acceleration rate of the drivetrain, basically the time it takes to get from 0 wheel speed to 200 mph wheel speed. The inertia in the drivetrain should be low because aside from the flywheel nothing has a large diameter.
Losses aren’t a fixed power amount either, and I’d reckon the majority of drivetrain losses do scale with the power output even if it might not be the oft-quoted 15% value. It doesn’t take 400hp just to turn this GTR’s drivetrain, but it’s possible that 400hp is consumed under the full load of 3000hp due to drivetrain…
Any environmental argument:
Yeah normally gasoline cars add throttle when the revs drop to 1500 rpm. Diesel cars add throttle at around 1100 rpm. Above these levels they consume nothing when engine braking. A momentary fuel consumption display comes in handy when deciding upon engine braking in an unknown car.
How about “Ulysses S. Grant Kicked Robert E Lee’s Ass Highway”
as this is the internet, i suspect by this time next year we’ll all be driving down Freeway McRoadFace.
Upselling as a technique does not make a person a bad human being. I always show the customer WHY the best stuff is the best and then let them go down from there.
This was fucking domestic terrorism.
Please don’t advocate turning F1 into another Indy Car series. F1 needs to be the series that pushes the technology, not limits the technology to what everyone already knows. We need to have more automotive companies sponsoring teams, true; but do it by giving parameters into which all technology has to fit, but allow…
Seeing as most people that will end up using this magnetic noob tube are gunna be wall street brokers, politicians, and other frequent users of cocaine, I don’t expect the average clientele to weigh over 12 stone. Your typical Wal-Mart Warrior won’t be able to afford a ticket for this!
Especially if that job is sending 160lb bags of meat through a tube at the speed of sound.

you know how they say some big cars ‘shrink around you’ and don’t feel so huge when you’re actually in the driver’s seat?
High tech war machine, defeated by cold. There’s a history with ze Germans.

I met him on a short hill overlooking the road, some macho Welsh local covered in rain and dirt, pulling a beer from…
Freddy, you forget that since news of the IMS troubles broke online every Porsche since has had IMS issues, even if it didn’t.
