I quote ApeMan420 up there:

I hold in my hand a piece of stainless steel with a yield strength of >1500 MPa. It is not as exotic as it may sound, because you can find it in razors.

Yeah, sorry. All that talk about fancy metals got me going.

As an engineer who has designed many things from many materials over decades, it is my firm conclusion that steel is superior in almost every regard. And there is an alloy for every need.

I know some dudes that did something like that with a Ferrari long ago.

I have driven like an ass for 35 years and only got tickets twice, for speeding. Once in 1992 and once in 2004.

You could make a rotary with 9 cylinders on an 7-crank and get 63. Lame?

I just now realized that I called it Silverpilen. I did of course mean Vitpilen.

The Husky is right about perfect. I tried the Silverpilen 701 and I grinned like an idiot from the first second.

200 HP is only 33% more than 150 HP. And while 150 HP is already a bit too much in my opinion, it is by no means uncontrollable.

Small, 4-valve, turbo, DOHC engines are unamerican.

Some people think they are in their own living room, and have expectations on others based on this. Goes both ways.

I wonder how far they go at 250 km/h.

Power is measured in J/s. Work is measured in J.

I learned to hold the lamp and get yelled at.

“Would those not be called “performance long-stroke engines” ?”
Like the world’s largest dwarf, or smartest retard? Okay.

Use two in pairs, problem solved!

And here I felt that swapping the 190 mm for a 185 on my CBR made a big notable difference because it would follow curves better. Using a car tire must be like heaving a barrel on its side.

Oh, I love supercharged pushrods. And yeah, I stuffed some numbers on a calc sheet and made graphs, mostly based on numbers I invented but based on real world.
