I've always been partial to any kind of diesel yacht engine. Maybe it's the fact that they sit in a room (in a vehicle) so you can see most of the naked engine without all kinds of bodywork around them. Or perhaps it's because they are just so damn big. Or maybe it's how they paint them to prevent oxidation in the…

I think the column should be titled: More interesting that Doug's useless drivel.

There is lag, yes. But don't forget, this is already a 5.0L V8, it doesn't lose power down low because you've put turbos on it. That's the difference between the examples you mentioned and this engine. Your examples are small engines that only make power from the turbos. If they were turbo free they would anemic…

Hint: I did NOT get it.

Geez.. it was just a joke? Didn't you get it!?

Blah, blah, new material please.

Wikipedia is giving me 532 for the TDI in the R18, but that one is a hybrid that would push it over 570HP. I'll give you a pass on this one.. :)

What kind of HP does the R18 have anyways? With restrictors (and the fact that it's diesel) I'd bet it's not more than 570HP...

Shit! That makes me look even worse doesn't it?

At least get the grammer right! TOO common

All I saw in that list was "Tax evaders."

That is decidedly better than my 140HP, FWD, manual hatch.

No, you fail the Jalopnik test, go back under you bridge.

Actually, spinning the mass is relatively free (inertia). Accelerating the mass is not free, there are some pumping losses, but it's not worth the cost of a new starter motor.

I never said that Non-hybrids couldn't have electric steering, my own car has electric steering but isn't a hybrid...

No they don't, in a non-hybrid there's no way to have hydraulic pressure without the engine running. Both 'normal' power steering and brake assist require hydraulic pressure.

This guy's got it. MPGs in the moving vehicle has much more to do with friction with the air than within the engine.

Bullllll shitttttt
