The rear diff, is essentially a version of the one in the in the Focus RS, GKN’s Twinster. I am guessing without the overdriven rear axle ratio.

I think the main issue is that the car was over performing in the race, which was not captured in the Roar Before the 24 test. The fastest race lap by Lambo is not only faster than any other GTD cars, but also 1.6 sec faster than their fast lap during that test(and 1.1 sec faster than ANY GTD cars from that test),…

The outboard end isn’t the same, outside of the additional rack, the need to fit a steerable knuckle, a CV, and probably quite different brake line routing. Not to mention a different housing.

Any idea what type of layout is the Renault system? The car being a twist beam car rear “toe” was not a thing. GM’s truck system I’d imagine costs a lot more because they had to engineer a different rear axle housing with new wheel ends with ability to steer. Something the regular one doesn’t need.

Have they tried the Koch yet?

So is this fixed yet?

This. I only do it for freezing rain

So this is all assuming the Lincoln will be cheaper than the Hyundai(I mean Genesis) or the Cadillac?

Industry preview days at the NAIAS is where you’ll see engineers walking around with calipers or tape measures crawling under the show cars or being excited about checking out the lining in the door pocket or the design of a door hinge....

I did this, early this year, at the invite of a friend I’ve never met in person, on my rather impromptu trip to California between being layoff from one job and starting another(so I had severance and was already signed to start in a month or so). Went to a trackday at Thunderhill organized by Google people with a lot…

C&D should have a few, they are pretty good are penning pretty hilarious reviews for cars they didn’t like...

They may not have actually faced speed above speed of sound, but I am sure cars like Spirit of America or several of the stillborn/yet to run cars, including the Bloodhound SSC will need to take that speed into account when designing them. There are still a lot of consideration since they still have to deal with…

I do find the lack of Land Speed record cars on this list kinda disappointing....considering they are the only ones that need to take into account of sound barrier....

As is the trend now. The odd thing now is you can see cars hit drag limited top speed with the singles with wings.

4 bangers definitely made more power.....easier power...but weight and handling is something they are more conscious now, and fuel econ being worth more points plays into this also.

no, but the trend is to drop the weight a lot more than they used to. My era(circa 2003-2007) was around 450# for decent weight(4 cyl, 13” wheels), now its closer to 350#, and more are running 10” wheels singles.

Average speed of the competition moved up enough, as well as the size of the wings allowed got big enough that you sorta have to have wings now to be competitive.....what is more interesting is that this is happening despite the reduction in engine size as more teams move to smaller single cylinders...

Also maybe some photos underneath on a hoist...

Please weigh it

All that, no tires?
