I think almost every car with start-stop has a failsafe in place that turns the feature off when the battery is low enough to not safely re-start the car.

The problem with how this is reported, is we don’t even know how they got to the that figure. Gross margin is supposed to be related to cost of goods sold, which is calculated from inputs, labor, and overhead expenses, but not R&D. But we have no idea if they mean gross margin or profit margin because they don’t say…

It’s ~30k or so overdue, and whiteblocks are definitely interference engines.

• Google data centers use a ton of carbon free power generation.

It amuses me greatly that my 328! station wagon has a trailer hitch (and a proper Euro-spec one at that) but some of my friend’s trucks don’t...

Funny how police departments can suddenly find all kinds of reasons to fire a cop who enforces the law on rich folks.

It baffles me how a vehicle designed to hold 16 gallons of gasoline in its fuel tank cannot keep a 12 volt battery topped off with an alternator.

The dumb part is not providing a simple mechanical lock and latch mechanism so you can get in the damned car when the 12V battery is dead.Something that really should be required by the FMVSS regulations.

At this point, it’s likely that all of the major failure points have been addressed. So there’s that.

Trackers are dope now?

A lot of these really stupid demonstrations against things that are unrelated to the environment are clearly being paid for or staged.

Long live this magnificently stupid automobile.

I doubt the displacement or power levels had anything to do with this. You can have an direct injector failure in a 180hp engine just as readily.

GRCs are nice, but best hot hatch of all time is stretching, a lot.

Make it suck CO2 from the atmosphere and dump lumps of coal on teh streets.

They are 285mm wide, which is pretty meaty. And since the CT are heavy as shit, those tires have the same grip of a much wider tire on a lighter vehicle.

Seriously.  GTO parts available was an issue with the damn thing was new.  I can’t imagine how bad it is now.

Overall I want sub 5 second 0-60,

The Charger has always been a heavy dude. Why would this be a problem now?
