It’s also probably easier to train miners to become astronauts than to teach astronauts how to mine cobalt.

I thought Scat Packs were a Mopar thing.

I could’ve sworn electronic LSDs were a marketing name for fancy traction control. I’ll have to do some research. Thanks!

We’re also talking about a car that’s for fun, not for dominating a particular racing series, which is why I’ll never get the complaints about “making it slower” by opting for a gearbox some folks have more fun with, heh. To a lot of folks, part of the challenge is being able to get it right on your own. Beat the car.…

A $40k manual swap.

I’ll be honest. As soon as someone whips out the “character” argument, I start questioning their taste. Basically, you’re saying you like old. You want something that looks old. If you’re doing a renovation, why would you want it to look old and dingy? It’s the same reason I don’t get the shabby chic thing. Why would…

I mean, if people are giving them away, I’ll get in line too!

Yeah GT3 sounds way better.

....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

Black Fly Population 27,000 per square foot.

Literally, no one cares outside of New Yorkers.

Neat.

Dick picks?

Where they develop their torque is a pointless statistic when we’re talking about accelerating from a dead stop.

BMW as a graduation gift? I’m assuming she entered a 1-way construction zone illegally and the truck driving towards her was the pilot car.

They operate on pressure differential man. Reduce the temperature and pre-turbine pressure goes down. You can only reduce the pressure post-turbine to atmospheric levels, so that pre-turbine temp matters a lot. At a given mass flow rate you want the EGT to be a high as possible without damaging components.

You are correct, heat is a big source of energy for the Turbo but the metals used to make the turbine wheels can only take so much heat before they get soft and deteriorate. So it’s only for practical reasons that you want to limit the temperature, theoretically you don’t want to remove heat from exhaust before the…

You do. Actually the limiting factor is that when the EGTs get too high in turbo applications the aluminum will actually melt off of the inside of the exhaust port and ruin the turbo.

Well thank goodness we chose a reality TV actor to get us through these uncertain times.

Maybe stop naming ships Fitzgerald, Americans
