Ah, I get it now, my bad! Get another one!

Eh, if you can get away with down time, it's doable for less than you might think. M30 is a VERY stout motor. Megasquirt ~= $600 if you're frugal, turbo and plumbing is cheap if you're smart and handy (a few hundred bucks). Low boost, you can get away with skipping an intercooler and that simplifies things quite a

Having worked indirectly with them, there are other reasons they aren't doing well... not sure how they compare in magnitude to oil pipe, but in the automotive sector they can't compete at least on material quality with foreign companies, and as such, have at least lost some potential business. I doubt the impact

M30 is such a great, under appreciated motor

Except the giggles that happen at high RPM

All of our team's fabrication was done with an angle grinder, he wouldn't have had to ask us...

"Or maybe a 360 Modena, like Doug "My pants would be fancy if I had any" Demuro."

Isn't this what parking cops already do? Or is that the joke?

moar room for the diffusor, bro!

Glad you appreciated it, I had fun writing it :)

This is copy-paste from another post in this thread, but I wanted to make sure you saw it, because there is potential benefit from multi-gearing an electric car. It may or may not be worth the packaging and weight impacts, but the benefit definitely exists, and for something like an electric truck would definitely be

Power = force * speed.

"It showed just the innovation prowess of our company and of the creativity, and beyond that, the ability to deliver something, the ability to deliver that innovation and deliver it in a way that's not a science project," added Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer of electrified vehicles, in a recent interview.

Well, then, he should have said that it's the torqueiest by a long shot, not the most powerful. Because that would be a true statement.

Oh hey sorry, reading my response, I certainly am "that guy." I'm all for being offensive, my point is more that this doesn't make much sense as an insult, so it's not offensive enough. It's a compliment, really. Call them testicles instead! Testes are really sensitive!

How is 450hp the most powerful by a large margin? Minivans are making 300hp nowadays...

"The 322 horsepower V12 was also a detuned not-so-distant cousin to the world-beater in the Mclaren F1, so there's plenty of potential in that powerplant yet."

Hydrolysis is not a very efficient way to make hydrogen... and as such we don't use it very much:

Vaginas are pretty tough, bro. Find another insult, even if you're just joking.

"I'm just saying that it's defeating the purpose of a CVT. Why simulate gears when you could just use a regular automatic?"
