I don’t hey why you would cheat Art LeMons. The whole point is to show that you can race on a budget. Winning is secondary and honestly had never even been a goal in my book. You have to have a pretty weak ego to feel you need to win LeMons.

So on that basis, on that belief, you believe big oil has kept free energy from being a reality? That energy from the ether has been utilized but big oil thugs beat up whomever figures it out? Or is that just a nutjob conspiracy theory?

You’re exactly right. I hate all of these articles that make it sound like Big Oil perpetrated some kind of conspiracy. We’re all complicit in this every time we get behind the wheel.

This is exactly why you cannot trust industry to police themselves. And I am a conservative by nature but i have realized the longer I live the more I see greed and the profit out weighing environment or the common good.

Yes again, the buying public doesnt really give a shit about MPG or emissions.

Do you need a quick 0-60 time in an econobox or 300HP? No.

The cars existed, no one bought them. This problem was caused by consumers not anyone else.

The irony when someone who’s measuring the pressure in his tyres as a multiple of “the pressure that 7000 grains of corn would excert on a square area with sides equal to one-twelfth of a human foot” (which is the most likely origins to pounds and square inches that I can find) refers to another measurement as goofy.

The Volkswagen Group owners’ (including some German states and other huge institutional investors) lobby really is powerful. They managed to get another huge headline spread all over the world just to relieve some pressure off of the cheating company: VW AG. Impressive. And scary.

Jaguar will probably use a turbocharged version of the straight 6 to replace the V8s and SCV8s they currently have. It’s the same concept, just a bit higher up on the cylinder scale.

Fighter Jets have explosive bolts and rocket assisted ejection seats to help with the emergency egress part of it. Such thing wouldn’t work in a car.

I think F1 and IndyCar should be taking the NHRA approach. Not with canopies (though the NHRA does have them), but with a tall windshield and an extension of the rollhoop. This would protect the driver against debris and other cars, while preventing the claustrophobia, heat, and distortion problems the canopies face.…

Red Bull will immediately find a way to sculpt the windshield for reduced drag, increased downforce, funneled air into the intake for an extra 5 horsepower, and it will all be wasted when their engines all blow up because their engine provider sucks.

Doesn’t seem worth it at that price point. So I know who makes those axles and everything (They built the 6x6 portals as well) and I can build my G63 with CTIS, Hutchinsons and the better Ohlins that aren’t coming on the 4x4² for cheaper than this. Yes i actually do offroad my rigs, so it would be functional!…

Our true war hero selected a moron for VP and ruined any chance he had.

Eight years ago we had a true war hero (from a family of war heroes) running for Presidency.
