This is an interesting point, but without knowing how long the ECU will allow overboost and correlating it with intake pressure over the course of a dyno pull I don’t 100% buy it.

disclaimer: I have no documentation to back up my theory about the BMW, and I own and love a USA-spec Fiesta ST.

I’ll keep mentioning this: in Europe, advertising regulations require that the manufacturer state *SUSTAINED* maximum power output, most modern turbo-charged engines allow what is know as “overboost” for limited periods of time, sometimes just a few seconds. In this case boost builds to a level that, if sustained,…

Um, actually Bernie is pretty fuckin’ squeaky clean.

he totally looses any credibility at that point.

came here for this, not disappointed.

^--- what this guy said. Note though, that it didn’t just “make the list”, it won.

I despise Ferrari on principle (much like I despise Canon and Oracle for being a bag of dicks at a corporate level), but I don’t deny they make nifty things, this happens to be a VERY pretty nifty thing, and they should do more like this.

I run 15" wheels with Direzza ZII *s, EBC RedStuff and braided lines. its a hell of a bargain.

As a FieSTa owner I approve this message. I still haven’t driven an RS, but the FieSTa is a goddamn masterpiece and anyone who says differently hasn’t driven one hard.

I say this in the utmost sincere hope I will one day learn the answer:

I’m the executor of my father’s estate, which contains a (still in probabte) 2012 JSW TDi. We can’t find the title. how do think this is going?

I really, really, *REALLY* enoyed the old Top Gear specials, where Hammond May and Clarkson do stupid/silly/fun/amazing things with shitty/weird/custom vehicles in dangerous/remote/unexpected places, but I think they should be sticking with that strength and let Top Gear (on the BBC) be Top Gear. And now that BBC Top…

Yeah :| I kinda agree. The Holy Trinity is old news at this point and the fact that they went back to it without the (relevant to the cars) humour, insight and thoroughness that Chris Harris and Friends did was really a bit of a low point. What they needed to do to pull this off was to repeat the joy of the Bolivia or…

My mother cried when she traded in her Imola Yellow B5 S4 for an auto Mazda 3 Touring, because she couldn’t drive stick any more after her spinal fusion surgery.
