The key term in that equation is combustion chamber volume (CCV). And it is an independent variable as BigBlock440 noted

What part don’t you understand? TheRealFrying_sloth based his analysis on the assumption that the Chinese gov’t would keep the 25%, while my assumption is that they would remove the tarrif as it is not needed to raise the consumer price by 25% - which was the point of the tarrif in the first place.

“just for starters, this raises the price of the good at import and therefore increases the amount the china gov’t gets”

If China (or any country) wants to protect their own manufacturing by raising the price of US cars by 25% - why doesn’t the US tack on a 25% export tax to that country? The US manufacturer gets the same amount of money, and the Chinese consumers pays the same amount of money. The only difference is that the US govt…

but it does not depend on it

I think all these “great deals” are what they should have been priced at in the first place. This one is almost 40% below MSRP.

Or you can go used

“stroke alone does not dictate compression ratio”

Agree.

I’m not forgetting it. It’s right there. But so is stroke.  BigBlock440 was claiming that compression ration does not depend on stroke.

Fish-eye lenses make things appear further - the opposite of a telephoto lens. That’s how they fit more in the frame. And that’s why fast things look slow.

compression ratio = (combustion_chamber_vol + stroke x bore x pi ) / combustion_chamber_vol)

“The fish eye nature to action cams made it look closer”

“I always thought it was bc of the loud sounds.”

> 1. Diesels use higher compression ratios, which translate into more torque.

“The biker was on the left side of the left lane.”

“and out of control”

“doing a wheelie down a mostly empty”

“If the dump truck felt threatened they would have backed off.”

Sorry. Inferring that European autoworkers make $2/day threw me.
