Speaking from a GM tech’s position, the ecotec is garbage. The direct injection for some reason puts extra strain on the timing chains, and since they are single row, they build a lot of slack over time. We have a Bulletin for the balancer chains ( which I’ve done a few that completely snapped and since the water pump…

Without Button’s finish in race contention, a crash marred race, and only being one race so we don’t have consistant results, but if Alonso’s finish is more of what may come in later races, Honda may have started to find their stride. Hopefully this gains interest in other teams to expand R&D.

Their reason for leaving after 92' was their financial gain in advertising to cost was not worth it, and Renault/Willams didn’t help sway that. Their failure in F1 in the mid 2000's was strike 2. They then come in the turbo age again trying this Zero technology which works to a point, and that point is way past. They…

I blame it on their on again-off again approach to F1 in the past 3 decades. Every time you step back in the sport after walking away, it’s like freight train that came to a stop, it’ll be a while before the momentum gets you up to speed. Also, I blame their (up until recently) lack of support of using turbo…

When I saw her smiling, doing the ,”I didn’t know.” head tilt, she knew nothing about her car, at least until now, she now knows fluids don’t compress, and that thing isn’t going anywhere without a push.

and you know what? I’m okay with this. PHOTO GALLERY ALL THE POSTS!!

Growing up in my pubescent years in middle school, it was common and embarrasing to get an erection at a moments notice in school, do you know how embarrasing it is to get one in your 30's at work around a group of other men? That being said, Those GT40 photos, I skipped about all other photos just to see more of them

I see you’ve got yourself a photo from 2006. Before things were changed and we now do just the drivers lounge, my fathers company set that whole museum up for Rolex (Rolex Moments in Time) that was the first year they used my information input in the storyboard, infact it was on that very 312T2. Boy to think that was…

I’ve been there three times, with my last visit in 2015. It’s great, but the crowd is really thick anynore. Don’t expect to get a good photo without some pinhead in the shot. With that said, just do it, ticket prices are cheap recently, which also explains the crowd. And btw, my anger to not be there this year is sky…

Meh, in the GT40 lineup, there was winners combining 4 years worth of wins at Le Mans, as well as victories at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, Monza, Brands Hatch, etc. Not one of those Miura’s built for the track, but I will conceed in saying as far as street cars go, their styling has not been bested yet, and the world has…

I know P1075 was there, two or three Mk IV, a Mk IIB ( Collier Collection) 1st,2nd, & 3rd place finishers from Le Mans 66', and a smattering of other GT40's, so somewhere over a dozen.

Are you saying someone may have tried to pull a Donald Trumper?

How.... Undervalued. Back in 2012, I spoke with a representative from the organization that owned the car at that time. They said they had turned down offers on the car. The highest? $22,000,000. Of course Shelby had just passed several months before, but 13 million is kind of a yawnable number after knowing what they…

I’m not over 50, have no desire to leave the wife for a younger girl who’s resume includes Waffle House and/or Hooters, and Jimmy Buffet’s Cheese Burger in Paradise is not in my music library. 300ZX anyday over that fiberglass pile.

A what if moment. I believe Ayrton would still be alive today had Honda ran this. We know about the aborted Lambo/Mclaren setup, but I think if Honda had commited to F1, and seeing McLaren struggle post Honda engine, he would have jumped ship and gone sith them. Honda, and all of Japan for that loved him, it would of…

Its an electric Chevy Trax/Buick Encore, I was exicted as first, and sought to get one and maybe get a GM employee discount, but then realized its not going to be practicle as a family car, and not too many young kids can handle a 30K tag AFTER incentives, base Cruzes are strainging on them as it is. Put that setup in…

Except the MP4/4 only was able to compete for one year. Before and after that, Mclaren was being contested, infact 87 Williams won and 89 came down to the second to last race, as well as 90. Mercedes has been dominating the podium for the last 2 and a half seasons, and before that Red Bull destroyed the excitement for…

2001 was when I started watching F1 on Speed, right as his hot streak hit full stride. To say I hated Schumacher was an understatment. On the other end of tbe spectrum, WRC had me and even my non car friends on edge thanks to the likes of Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae, not THAT was motor racing.

Essentially he’s saying,” Since old man Enzo kicked it in 88', we reversed our priorities of being the fastest first, then care about profits, and yes since then we’ve lost sight of our roots, and we throw afitwhen we don’t get our way, our cars have lost pace to the Brits, Germans, Americans, and even and Argentinen…
