Fair enough. I do my own support, and I find that apple hardware tends to be a year or two behind what I could build into my own rig.

You can, but if you’re going to be running windows all day on your mac, why buy a mac?

(I realize some people enjoy osx and would use it more, but for many of us, there’s just no point in having a mac)

They aren’t all crushed. There’s one sitting in storage at my university. GM gave a few of them out, but they were disabled to they wouldn’t run. My department director at the time had some students get it running again, but GM found out and made us un-fix it. Cool car for its day.

Aluminum is also susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement, although at a lower rate than steel.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but heavy truck emissions are very heavily regulated for this exact reason. Most trucks with SCR systems have a lower concentration of NOx in the exhaust than the intake air. They’re losing a fair bit of power and fuel economy to make this happen, which means they make less money.…

How much do you think the siping in particular plays into this? The reason I ask is that my car is running summer tires with Schwab’s siping operation done on them. Having driven in a lot of wet and even some snow, I really haven’t noticed nearly as many traction issues as the last set, which were not siped, and I…

I haven’t looked at many dyno runs, but if you’re comparing it to forced induction engines, how flat is its torque curve? Peak torque isn’t really that much to brag about if it drops off.

Google, my friend!

As someone with a relatively low car/seat position, the answer to this question is yes. Even the low beam HIDs blind me. Luckily, I haven’t crashed yet...

Regen is a separate process from urea dosing, I believe. The purpose of regen is to burn off particulate that is collected on the DPF. So yes, fuel economy tanks when it does that because it literally just squirts fuel into the exhaust before the DPF to increase temps and burn off particulate.

That train was braking so hard long before hitting the truck. I’m just imagining the operator seeing the truck turning so slowly, and thinking “no no no nononoNONONO—”

Truck noooooo!!

Yeah, I’m 6’0” and have a 32” inseam. Most of my friends of similar height/build wear close to 32x32 as well, so I think I’m pretty average...

6’0” with a 38” inseam?! Holy short torso, Batman!

True, but the gear is still there in the math, it’s just a multiplication of 1.

Exactly my point, the Germans are making a huge generalization. There are not a whole lot of places you can travel that far and experience the exact same culture. You can’t do it in the US, and you certainly can’t do it in Europe. I don’t have a lot of experience with Africa, China, or Russia, but I’m guessing the…

It’s honestly pretty funny that they’re using the same engine, but the Camaro is up 20-30hp depending on which dyno you listen to.

That’s good! Usually what gets people the most upset is when they see soot belching out of the exhaust. They don’t realize that the other half (NOx) you can’t very well see...

Ah, I see what you meant then. I’ve always heard final drive ratio used in reference to the diff gearing, although I suppose technically that’s incorrect.

Not to nit pick your nit pick, but it’s actually the torque at the rear wheels/axle divided by (the final drive ratio times the ratio of your current gear). Unless you’re running without a tranny, in which case your math would be spot on.
